PSP Gamers Take Over New York Subways |
Ó
Moving away from the usual PSP gamers meet-ups, The PSP Nation organized their own version of a flash mob. A group of PSP owners gathered at the Manhattan Mall and descended upon the New York City MTA subway system for one big PSP gaming session amidst a crowd of unsuspecting commuters, and right in the middle of rush hour too! Other PSP owners who happened to be on the train joined right in. Though they aren't exactly a huge crowd, they certainly played the part of truly hardcore PSP nuts.
This kind of gathering shows the strong presence of the PSP gamers in the gaming community landscape. But more than that, it's free publicity for Sony.

I didn't know that things like that happened in the US.
lol thats sick they should do that everywhere
How many got mugged & their PSP's stolen?
I'm glad I didn't go shopping that day...
He hadnt afford with a PSP, so he has to read a book (maybe a cookbook. A COOK BOOK!)
PSPNation does these things every week. Just go to their forums and see when the next meet it. They usually hold it at Grand Central Terminal, Manhattan Mall, game store, Sony store, pubs, and all other places.
Its called a newspaper. If you read the article, this meetup was during rush hour (as in the time people rush to go home). If you look in that same pic, you'll see other people either sleeping or standing and reading newspapers.
look how crowded together they are... r Akelly could have been there and got all of them soaked with my potent and colorful urine stream.... oh yes watch out people r kelly is waiting to unleash his wii on subway riders..if you have smelled the subway you know i aint the only one that pees there.
Wierd becuase I always take my PSP on the train haha.
It was a great meetup, for sure. And yeah, we do this ever single week. Check out schedules: http://thepspnation.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9 We are looking for Organizers for all over the US, so if you'd like to volunteer to hold these where you live, check the Organizer FAQ. http://thepspnation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8
Im the proud owner of a psp since a few days. And i think im the only person in a radius of 100miles who has one ;-). But in small villages thats normal.
Thats one strange newspaper, with a spine.
'fink ur a bad man 2 the fullest coz u've got a couple ov shotbun gullets,dont run it up n make me get dark coz i'll chief u up in the par cark,tel ur girlfriend 2 leave me alone n stop ringin ma phone bile moan,SERIOUS it's gettin on top,jeez cant even shop 2 the box,am slim but i aint got anerexia,i spit lyk av got dislexia,u dont want 2 make me get vexed or u'll find out bout my terrets BOY BETTER KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.myspace.com/jmeserious
well i be damn if any of those geeks has ever gotten laid in life.. ever. but cool idea. shud do it around the world!!!!
Crud, I wish I knew about this. I would have been there in a heart beat. Maybe I'll go to future meetups.
umm, yeah sure. i live in NYC too so dont lie. i take crowded buses & trains, yet i only see maybe 3-5 people with a PSP each week
wtfff noooo tis not true!111111111 Its photoshopped by $ony!! look at the resolution of the guy with the red on in teh back, i can see his face is pixels and shoulder has jagged eges... its low-res rendered image ppl.. nothin to see move along.. damn u $ony! u almsot fooled a bunch of kids.
My dad filled out an app to work in NY, and ifhe gets it, IM MOVING AND IM GOING TO DO THIS!
I'm the guy in the back with the blue shirt thats turned around. and we don't just do train meetups, but also bars, malls big building lobbies. Anyone can come, and we would love to start other groups across the country. check us out!
when you do the meetups do you guys play multiplayer? if so how do you choose which games to play?? and would anyone get offended if i peed on people that lose to me in a game while i sing ignition(remix) ??
Seriously though, we play exclusively multiplayer, sometimes someone has a game that they want to play by themselves which is cool. We pick games that are current but sometimes we do get into some Twisted Metal of Hot Shots (a fav of TPN for a while). Currently we do alot of GTA, socom, syphon filter, Street Fighter, and many more. we usually have good full games and are pretty loud and competitive.
Lots of them psp's have decals - I may get one as ifnger prints are all voer my psp and wont go away. Personally I wouldn't go to one of these 'meets' as you young whipper snappers call them
sony should make big reunion of psp owner and psp sompetition it could be so fucccccking cool
OMG! *****A STOLE MY PSP!!!
$hut the fu(k up.Your a kid grow up,while your at it go to school you might learn how to correct your spelling. .i.
Does anyone know where I can find the decal the guy has in the second picture (wearing the blue headphones)?
lol none of you noticed Paul Wall lookalike is in the pic...roflcoptors !
Those guys look like loosers. I love my psp and all.. but that just looks stupid inthe train. I would never get caught on the NYC subway with a huge group of adults looking like giant geeks playing "psp". Especially the beutiful women you see in the reain, they will black list you....
No dis but in that first pic why is everyone so fat is that caused by the psp or is that natural fatness? Just a thought. Long Live PS34Free
@27 - I think thats one form decalgirl.com oh and, http://img306.imageshack.us/img306/5281/untitled8xn.png lol
Really cool meetup. There should be more chapters popping all over the country. It'd be killer.
I've never seen someone playing a PSP in town or on public transport where I live :(
Im part of tpspn...long term.woot! But yeah...if you want to meet true PSP fans..but not Fanboys/girls...its the *****. Most of us have Custom psps. Were extremely open for new types of people...no racist anything..everyones cool...there ARE white people. And i just thought u should know...its not a photoshop pic xD. P.S. Some of the longtime readers here might have read about us before, as previously we were NycPSP.com. We have had a few Mega meetups and some cool storys linked here.
They are all fat o_O
anyway when some gambling and some hoties are part of the meetings i am up for it.
get some comp going
get some comp going
OMG! I saw a couple of those guys yesterday while I was going to the Yankees game.
thepspnation does this every week, bunch of grown people playing videogames what thats perfectly normal for adults to play videogames.
i read a comment LMAO, everyone is fat in the first pic, LMAO!
Dont play anything flashy like an iPod or PSP on the freakin subway or the bus in a crappy neighbourhood, you're bound to get robbed. If only robbers were aware of this event... sigh
WE ARE NOT ALL FAT U ASS!
I love all the haters on here with the "You'll get your PSP stolen" comments. Umm, we've been doing these for over a year now, and it has never happened...not once. If you want a chapter near you, feel free to volunteer on our forums. But it's a lot of work, and there's no pay, except for meeting some great friends and getting your game on. Peace.
come on uk lets get it on
wow, some of the fattest and ugliest people get together for gaming.... when they should GO TO THE GYM!
