I just picked up Ridge Racer and it lists both ad-hoc and infrastructure modes and also says an internet connection is necessary... but can you play online like Twisted Metal?

No one at the stores seems to know.

As long as it says Infrastructure mode, you can play online using wi-fi. As far as I know, only a few games support that though.

I just found TeamXlink, which sounds like an interesting concept and something to play with.

I wish there was a more simple answer on Sony's site or somewhere similar.

No, you cannot play Ridge Racer online. Several of the launch titles have incorrect info on the boxes saying they include infrastructure when they do not.

You can play online but you just have to use your PC and a program like Xlink.

Which works pretty well for the Xbox ATM, so PSP support should get better.

Wait, you can actually play Twisted Metal online? As in "connect to WiFi point, and blow up people across the nation and/or the world" online?

Sweeeeeeeeeeet. :D

I'm a little confused with the wireless gaming on the PSP. IN order to play, say, Ridge Racer online, do I have to get other people inside my wireless network to play with them?
