Hmm, would anybody wanna co-op this game with me sometime? ( Never played the PSP online, but interested .. haven't touched it in a year xD)

It is indeed.
Ad Hoc Party is a program you can download to your PS3 that lets you hook up your PSP to it, and tunnel online gameplay for most ad hoc games.
It basically turns ad hoc play into infrastructure play for games with a big following. Don't know if Dungeon Siege can do it (some games just aren't compatible for some reason) but it would be worth a try if you don't have any buds to play the co op with.
Theres plenty of tutorials online for setting up an account.
The term "WiFi" doesn't apply strictly to Internet connection, you can network anything wirelessly if it (the hardware) is equipped (which the PSP is), but that wireless connectivity denoted on the back of the box for "Throne" means that you and other players can sit in the same room together and play ad-hoc (local area only) wifi games... it simply means you don't need to have a wire between game units - Which was the case up until the end of the GBA's life. You had to sit like kids talking on a tin can telephone with a cable connecting GBA hardware. Now, we do it wirelessly.
The other statements about "Ad-Hoc Party" which is a way the games could be connected through the net via a PS3 are correct - essentially the add-on available from PSN for free allows a form of "tunnelling" or tricking the game into thinking you are playing a wifi ad-hoc game, only the PS3 connects you through the net as if you were all in the same room. It's like a patch to a PC game, or added content after sale of the hard copy.
If you don't have a PS3, just forget about it. I have. Though I would love to play some "Gran Turismo PSP" that way. Oh well... perhaps when I win the lottery?
