Hey just a question i got here like a month or so ago, but how long has ben been doing this sort of thing, Could he be responcible for this new rage in portable gaming, could he be a revolutionist for this sort of thing? What do you guys think.

Well, we all are using his forums

I think he's been doing this since mid 2000.

While in the past year I'd say is when its taken off as its gotten more press. For instence about a year ago now Ben was on TSS, there have been magizines and his PS2p appeared on Slashdot. Now with his book out more people will see what he does and be interested in trying it out.

Yeah, Bens gotten a lot of press. I myself found an article about him in Wired magizine (which is excelent).
Also if you look at the old site, the first entery is December 17, 2000.

Judging from how early Ben has done this and the like, it makes me wonder if the NDS and maybe even PSP are based on his concept....

If they got the idea from his or based the effectiveness of their ideas on his popularity, Ben may have ALREADY altered the future of gaming.

Extreme, but it is possible...

I told him a while ago he should have copyrighted the name psp, then he could have sued the pants off of Sony...

Then they would've just called it the playstation portable and have it's labell be a blockish P5P

Accurately stating my point.

Post by **Sparkfist** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 5:49 pm
