I thought this would be a good place to allow members to introduce themselves. (Moderators: If this isn't the place, please let me know)

I'll start off with myself:

I've been gaming for just over 20 years, and enjoy all types of gaming genres. These days I find myself playing more and more handheld games as I have a toddler and just don't have much time to invest in sitting in front of my TV at home. I currently game on my PSP 2000, DS Lite, Wii, OG Xbox, and PC. I haven't bought a PS3 or Xbox 360 yet due to not have an HD TV and the time commitment I mentioned above. I'm currently playing Patapon 2, Scribblenauts, Fallout 3 (in spurts), and Warioland: Shake It!.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this site grow and using it as my go-to source for all things Minis related. This will be my 1st stop before I hop on the PSN to pick up any new Minis (and I have a feeling I will be purchasing quite a few)

I hope the other members of this site will use this thread to introduce themselves as well, so we can build a strong sense of community here at PSPminis.com

Yeah, I love seeing sites grow up too. Nice intro.

---------
My name is Christian, aka: Count, The Count's or MGO_Count

I have been playing games since I was 11 years old. PS2/PC/Gameboy, you name it. I've never had an Xbox though (The original), but I did get a Xbox 360.

I have a blogsite.
http://www.countvyers.blogspot.com
And I'm hoping to get regular comments in there anytime soon. But I'm not rushing it.

~~~
I used to own a PSP 3000 with around 15+ UMD games on my birthday. But it was stolen when I went on a vacation. Some person climbed through the pipes outside the apartment, removed every lower pieces of window pane, and sneaked in to get my PSP.

It was very depressing, and I know this because we tracked the footprints and dust trails. At least he/she didn't assassinate me =_=;.

Anyways, I don't have a PSP right now, and I'm still trying to find a way to own one.
So I joined this site xD. Chances are chances, and i hope I get lucky for once :|.

Great idea David, thanks for starting this topic. And thanks for both of your introductions.

I started this site because I wanted to own and run a site based around my passion, gaming.

I can totally relate to your experience David. Ever since my son was born, and the general additional responsibilities of growing up, my time for gaming has decreased. I find I've been playing more and more games that don't require a huge investment of time. So that's part of why I'm really excited about PSP Minis.

I still game every day, or try to, and a lot of it is co-op games I can play with my partner, son (almost 7) or both. We try to have family game time twice a week where we all play together. Little Big Planet and N+ are our favourites.

I guess I consider myself a hardcore gamer that is just playing more indie, casual and bytes sized games. I do tend to enjoy all genres. And I still try and chip my way through a few triple A titles when I can. I bought but have yet to start Fallout 3.

My aim is to make this site the number one place to go for PSP Minis, news, previews, reviews, interviews and announcements. While things have been very hectic building the site and getting everything done leading up to the launch, I and my small team will hit our stride and make this the site we envision.

Thanks you to you guys for joining the community.

Count, my heart goes out to you for your PSP loss. Fingers crossed for the draw. But it will be a fair draw.

Well, good luck on your site.
I'll try to be active as much as possible.

And don't worry about the loss of my PSP lol, I always try to borrow my friends PSP when I get the chance.

Hi all! I go by Sylin on both XBL and PSN. I've been gaming for nearly 30 years and have owned just about every platform except for the obscure ones, or non-USA consoles.

I have 3 kids, all of which want their own PSP, so fingers crossed on the draw, as Chris says. :) I currently have a 3000 that I let my oldest borrow--she loves Ratchet & Clank.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this site grow and being a part of the community. The smaller, bite-sized games appeal to me because I don't have a ton of time to devote to larger games (although I am slowly working my way through MUA2).

Tetris, Pinball and Mah Jongg seem to be on my priorities list for PSP (as well as the non-mini PixelJunk Monsters for PSP).

Thanks for making this site!

Hello,

I have grown up with PlayStations. I love my PS3, but have an up and down relationship with PSP. I have owned two. I sold my first when hard up for cash and gave away my second to my niece because at that point no new games where on the horizon that I had any interests in. I'm excited about the PSP Go, but I wonder if it will bring in substantial games to the PSP. I own an iPhone so many of the PSP minis I already own. There are some new games like LBP that I would really love to take on the "Go" with me.

/scratches head

Bring it on Sony. Make me want to give you $250.

Hi guys

I just found this site after Googling for some PSP Mini reviews. It's great to see that a great-looking site has been set up specifically for reviewing these things and I'm looking forward to spending some time here.

My name's Gareth, I'm 28 years old and live in Manchester, UK. I'm a multimedia developer and although I have a vast gaming collection sadly don't have enough time to play much these days due to working on various large projects. That will hopefully change in the next 12 months or so as they begin to complete. :)

Despite being an avid collector of all kinds of gaming-related goodness, I don't see myself getting a PSPgo at any price because I just don't see it bringing anything worthwhile to the party. I have a 2000 with CFW and 3000 with OFW - I don't need anything else. On the other hand, I'd gladly take one if it was free so I've posted about you guys on my personal blog at http://www.gareth-jones.co.uk/. I think that gets me 7 tickets in all. ;)

Hi, I'm Sam. I started gaming a while ago, with my original playstation. Since then, I have had the PS2 and PS3, as well as a PSP 1000. I really like RPGs and more obscure, innovative games (think Patapon).

hello everyone,
i guess unlike most people here, im not an old person. :)

i was raised around video games since i was born (yeah, it is pretty awseome),
when i was born my family got a snes (the only stationary Nintendo console we have),
and me and my (older) brother have been gaming ever since,
we got a playstation when it came out just became fans of the console,
so now weve got just about every sony console,

Lol little rock. I love my PSP go. I just love the fact that it fits comfortably in my pocket along with the numouros games installed on it. Now that's real portable gaming.

Old Prince? I'm only 29. Still young in my books. Good luck on the PS3 for Chrismas. It's an awesome console. I only got mine a couple of months ago when the price dropped. Best thing about it was co-op tower defence via Pixel junk monsters and Comet Crash.

Played southpark TD yesterday with 2 friends but it sucks compared to the 2 I just mentioned.

sorry, that makes you an old person :) jk.

idk how useful a ps3 actually would be to me actually,
i havent got high speed internet or an hd tv at my house, so its capabilities would be extremely limited.

Hey guys, when i first visited this site in search of good psp minis, i really liked the atmosphere so i decided to sign up :D

I grew up playing the gameboy color, ps2, and old pc games. i have a psp 2000 and planning to get a psp go for christmas (santa! hehe jokes). i used to have an ipod touch, but it got stolen a couple months back :( after weeks of searching, i gave up, and decided to get a new one for the holidays, but i read that many apps i used to have on my ipod touch came to the psp, so i decided to get a psp go instead :D i am a huge sony fan and i wish to have a great time here.

Hello everyone. My name is Tyler. I enjoy long walks on the beach and watching the sun set. Err I mean I like sports (go Broncos!) and the occasional video game. I'm pretty much a hardcore gamer who keeps becoming increasingly casual in his habits (I can still throw down in a fighting game or shooter but I see myself playing more sports and puzzles games). My favorite video game series is Half Life developed by Valve and the Ace Attorney series developed by Capcom. I'm ttwashere on xbox and facebook; and i'm tylertreese on PSN and twitter. I've been a moderator/admin on a couple of smaller Nintendo forums (largest had around 1,500+ registered members) which I have left due to my drifting away from Nintendo games and games in general.
