For those that weren’t aware, the winner of the Team X-tender and QJ.net “10 reasons why I love PSP2TV” has been announced. Lets all give Ian a big Congratulations for winning this contest, fighting through the tough competition. Here is what Ian had to say:

Well it is with great jubilation that I tell you all about how it feels to win the Team Xtender PSP2TV contest. I have been on top of the world all day, going around to friends houses and showing them this incredible piece of hardware that lets my play games as if I was using a ps2. They all couldn't believe their eyes. I am the envy of all my friends and they too want to get a PSP2TV. I am over come with joy that My Ten Reasons were picked. It makes me feel good inside to know that I am now a "First" person. One of the lucky few to get a product before anyone else.

Team Xtender has really made my Christmas this year. It is something that I will never forget them for. They are number one in my books, as considerate people. To pick me out of all those other entries is just beyond belief. I thought up my Ten reasons in a very quick period of time(15 mins). I am never this lucky, I have never ever won anything before in my life . I hope that they have many more contests and that one of YOU out there can win something so amazing as I have. Playing GTA and Socom on it is just amazing. Now I don't have that constant strain in my back from hunching over to play my games on the PSP. Homebrew has never looked sweeter either. So to all of you out there, if you don't already have one, do yourself a big favor and go out and get one. Thank you Team Xtender, I am forever grateful.

Ian’s top 10 reasons were:

1 : PSP2TV, is the meaning behind the words " Handheld Entertainment Console".

2 : I can't wait to see the looks on other peoples faces when they see it work.

3 : Team Xtender really do Xtend the possibilities of the PSP

4 : I will be the envy of my friends who also have PSP's.

5 : Utilizing the internet on my 2.0/(DGD)1.5 psp will be easier on the eyes.

6 : My hands won't get cramped up anymore.

7 : The faceplates will be awesome, finally no fingerprints.

8 : None of that mirrors and cameras, bull shyte.

9 : It's a great excuse to get a bigger T.V.

10 : It's the best add on for the psp yet.

Well there ya have it folks, those are my top 10 reasons why I love PSP2TV. I might even make a parody of i want my mtv by Dire Straits, for those of you old enough to remember. Thanks Team Xtender I hope

Congratulations Ian!

Even today, behind the "normal" activities of D-industries, it appears he's hiding some dark criminal projects.  According to some people, he's even using these new crash dummy prototypes for bank robberies and many other kinds of crime.

Prof. Advisor’s Crash-Industry has been shut because of a mysterious attack that destroyed a good part of the buildings and damaged the equipment. The economic damage was so great that the complex had to be closed down and most of the dummies had to be sold to D-Troit.

Prof. Advisor knows very well that D-Troit is behind all his problems, but he needs to find a witness. His only hope is to rely on his most faithful friend and companion, Crash Dummy. Crash Dummy's girlfriend, Tyre, was kidnapped by the evil D-Troit, because on the night of the explosion she had seen D-Troit's prototype dummies placing the bombs in the Crash-Industry.

The future of Prof. Advisor and all the other dummies lies in the hands of a single...Crash Dummy.”
