Q: PSP's Ridge Racer

I'm a little confuse about the WiFi part of this game.... it says that you can play up to 8 people at the same tiime via WiFi... but does that mean only the people in the room? Or just random people across the country (world?)?

RR is fxxkin' cool! I love the drifting!

But the package has a misprint..the game does not support Infrastructure But you can play up to 8 players via wireless adhoc (just have your friends together - and they don't have to be in the same room, just make sure they are close enough to get the signal!)

a must get game for the psp!

...so, I was right... you can NOT just play random people across the country... but I think I'll keep it anyway... (I had bought it and wasn't sure about the game play with wifi)

ESL translation (MY ORIGINAL RESPONSE):

No, you can't play ONLINE (infrastructure is advertised on back of box = misprint!) but you can play with 8 others around you. Twisted metal is the only game right now that can do ONLINE..but I heard the servers are always down.

RR rocks!!!!!!!!

...whoa!!! what a minute!!! I can't believe that's the only game you can play on line... that's sucks... cause they gave the public the impression that you can play most of the games online.... I hope they come out with more games avalible online... cause people are gonna start bitchin'

Using wipeout i am able to configure my router to let me view acurazine. Also there are a few ways to setup connections between other people online to play games. Just search for a psp forum.

I don't regreting about the PSP, and am sure when the next gen. X Box comes out, it'll be a consideration... one of the only reason why I kept the PSP and not get the Xbox is because I'm NOT at home much, and when I am home.... and have spare time, I'm either on this site or watching a movie on my DLP TV....
