60 reasons to own a PSP: part 5


Let's keep marching down the list of reasons to own a PSP, courtesy of TCLCloud. Today's edition is heavily focused on multiplayer.



21. Game Sharing
Game Sharing is a feature we've been in love with ever since the Game Boy Advance days. This technique lets your system share a small sample of the game you're playing. Sometimes, it will be a single-player demo ... Other times, it allows you to play multiplayer games with other PSP owners with just one copy of the game. The upcoming Naruto game uses Game Sharing, which we're positive will become quite popular amongst the kids. According to Wikipedia, over 50 PSP games use the feature.





22. Headset communication during multiplayer
Avid fans of SOCOM and, more recently, Killzone Liberation, know how awesome it is to voice chat while playing against a friend. Simply plug in the PSP headset and you're ready to go.



23. Wide assortment of games with Ad-Hoc play
A majority of PSP games offer Ad-Hoc multiplayer, which allows you to compete against other PSP owners. The PSP Nation crew understands how fun a multiplayer match of Grand Theft Auto game can be (and PSP is the only system where such a feat is easily possible!).



24. Infrastructure multiplayer lets you play on the Internet ... for free
We love Infrastructure play: this allows PSP players from over the country and globe compete against each other through the Internet ... no need to be next to a friend! According to Wikipedia, over 20 PSP titles support the feature, with many more to come.



25. PlayStation Spot downloads
Simply go into a GameStop, or Best Buy and you may see a PSP kiosk set up. Turn on your PSP, activate Game Sharing, and you'll be able to download PSP Spot content, which includes videos and game demos. Certainly makes the experience of being hassled by a GameStop employee a little bit more tolerable.
