Just loaded up mhp3rd HD on my ps3 and I can confirm that it works on Japanese adhoc party only. It uses a built in system where you choose the room before starting the game. Once the game is started, the chat and options show up on the bottom and left side of the screen leaving a window for the play screen at the top right. L2 hides this and makes the game full screen. R2 lets you use the adhoc options. Voice chat can be turned off and on and it seems like you need a keyboard to type as I haven't found a way to do it with the controller. The graphics are slightly improved in my opinion but the menus are just blown up versions of the ones on the psp. Still grainy. It is just a psp game scaled to fit a tv screen and you can definitely tell it was not made for the ps3. But, as I expected that, my only gripe is that it does not play on US adhoc party which it seems like it easily could. Japanese ahp is 2.0 with extra features and a special monster hunter p3rd section where US ahp is 1.0. I could be wrong but a simple update could have at least made the importers happier.
