PSP Feature Release Dates

PSP Announcements
The PSP Store is coming soon. October 15th is next week and that is the day that PSP store and Firmware 5.00 make their debut in Japan. The store will receive considerable 1st party support, all big name 1st party titles will released on the store the same day as its retail release. (Everyone should buy bigger memory sticks). Hopefully the store will debut worldwide on the same day.
PSP games are notorious for having ad-hoc multiplayer, but not supporting infrastructure multiplayer play. October 30th will be the day Monster Hunter fans in Japan will be able to get their Monster Hunter fix from home and still play with their friends online. Monster Hunter 2nd G is the first title to take advantage of the Ad Hoc Party feature. Final Fantasy Tactics should take advantage of it as well, but that is my personal opinion.
The PSP is getting strong features in the near future. Is this enough for you to buy your first PSP? Will this put the PSP over the top?

Looking forward to this. Since it’ll also [likely] be integrated into the PSN as well… could we see those PSP Trophies soon?
I love online play with my PS3, and now I’ll be able to play [select] PSP games online too. I’m rather looking forward to it.
Tha t would be pretty cool if they could integrate trophies into PSP games. Which I think if they bring out that feature I could see PSP on the rise in sales.
This is something I’ve been mentioning on my blog for a while now.Look forward to it hitting the States,then Europe.I’d be very surprised if this hits worldwide especially with all the localization for Europe.This is a great way for publishers to keep there money invested and to keep their titles from becoming quick trade ins at the local retailers.
If you routinely check http://www.buy.com,you can get a 4gig card for $19.99,so there’s no reason to not try out these upcoming games!
