If you own a PSP, I repeat , only if you own one, answer the poll. I'm curious as to the PSP owner demographic here on ASSEMbler
Do you reckon anyone here's 13 or under? I don't think 13 year olds would be interested in psps, infact we should have a poll, "What's your age group"? Dragyth
I think it's closer to "they wouldn't be able to afford PSPs". Then again, there's always some rich snobby kid in every town.
Whoops, typo. I meant I don't think 13 year old kids would be interested in programming and game development, at least not in the way that would make him/her join a forum, though you never know. I got my psp 3 days after the jap launch, I took it out of my pocket in a school hall and got mobbed by 12 year old kids, I swear there were about 20 of them trying to look at it. =) 13 year old kids are definetly interested in psp, then.

I hear you. I was interested in programming at 13, but not to the point of looking up console development systems on the internet .
well i had my doubts (since I do enjoy nintendo games a bit too much ) but the PSP does infact rock (apart from the defects)...... got to love Lumines im 19 by the way ..... do we actually have any members under 15/16 anyway?
the psp is pretty good (gotta love ridge racer) but the screen defects just ruin everything for me. first one i bought had 7 dead pixels. exchanged for another one that had about 9...yes 9 i returned that one and i'm waiting for a batch that has the screen problem fixed.
I was 16 when i joined up....very nearly answered this poll till i realised it wasnt for us poor people who cant afford a PSP
yeah, i read about your many problems. the store didn't let me check before i bought the first one but the clerk let me have a look before getting the 2nd one. too bad those dead pixels are hard to see in bright lights. only saw the dead pixels after i brought it back home.
I was 19 when I joined, 20 now (as of the 31st), but when I was 6... My childhood dream was to grow up and work for nintendo of japan and play the real Super Mario Brothers 2 we never got... Starting at age 8 We got our computer and I learned Q Basic. By 12, My uncle had AOL and I was learning about how video games were developed. By 14 I was hacking ROMs. Now I am studying Japanese. Had I known of this place/had it existed, I think I would have arrived at where I am now faster. Cheers to this wonderful community! Thank you so much Kevin for bringing us all together!
I was like 19 or 20 when I first came to the site, but I actually got interested in sort of, like, programming, for the C64 when I was 8 or 9 and my father brought the machine home. Not that I did any SERIOUS programming. I did a lot of Qbasic programming when I was 13, or 14 - and even _Started_ a game, but never did anything worth remembering. I did write a couple of "text" adventures, but it was Qbasic. Anyone can do that stuff. We didn't have the internet back then, but still, there are 13 and 14 year olds beginning their programming lives right about now. If I'd had the net back then, before I started highschool, I might have become a programmer instead of a writer.
Think im a bit of an exception on this site - I'm not really interested in the programming side, though i know a puny amount of Pascal (from college) and taught myself a bit of Qbasic. Instead, I'm far more intrested in the hardware itself - What processors they use, differences in dev hardware and retail etc.
bingo, welcome to my boat i hate programming. i know basic C++ and that's it. i love to hack stuff though. i remember hacking roms when i was 13-14. i think the first big job i did was to translate a GB rom from english to french. wish i had kept it.
Im not so interested in the programming aspect either (ok, so I am, but im more intersted in 3D modeling/texturing/lighting, which i've actually going to college for for the last two years). Ill probably at some point learn somthing like C or C++, but its on a long list of to-do's (Learn: 3D modeling/texturing/lighting/animation/programming/japanese/some musicle instrument/etc.)
I'm with Fabrizo - I'm an art man after 1.5 years of study led me to decide that programming is the worst profession in the world - even God has abandoned those who pursue it. I first began lurking at the age of 17, and eventually joined up at age 18, back on the EZBoards. Although didn't we have a member at the time who was like 13 or something? Seemed to be a bit of a Macintosh fanboy, if I recall right. Three years later - damn, I'm feeling old.
Yep, all mine are dead pixel free but back on topic, this PSP seems to be mostly popular with people in their late teens/early twenties. Not what Sony are aiming it at. I was under the impression they were aiming the PSP to those in their mid 20's. Yakumo
