PSP owners will also be able to launch ad hoc multiplayer games by connecting to PSN via the PS3 from October 30. Regional favourite Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will be among the first of the games to take advantage of this.

No dates for such a service have yet been announced for Europe or North America.
