haste makes waste sony...
control production speed
(one psp is made in about 20 minutes!)

to all the f***ers telling everyone to stop complaning about the defects on the psp(sonyfreak) can suck a fatty! if someone is paying 200 dollars out of the ass for this, they should be f***ing satisfied with their product. for 200 dollars (more for the packs) the customer should not have to settle for nething. i dont thing neone is reporting these defects simply because they're f***ing nintendo fans, but because theres f***ing defects. good thing i held off on buying one right away

My Target says only three out of 15 weren't returned. The manager is furious.

Is this surprising? Sony has never been very reliable in the system department.

ok i reserved this system and i think anyone who hates it is full of S***. If they dont like it so much its probebly because they are scared sony is better than Nintendo (this statement is true) So all you sony haters can stop waysting my time and go play with your stupid BS(ds). So it has some defects well thats ok with me because by the time it reaches the west coast it'll be defect free.
So more to the point... Sony haters can kiss my A**

Hi ps. At first the flaw was reported as unintentional ejection while playing RidgeRacers, and someone found out that in some unit the ejection occurs when adding twisting stress on the body, for instance, pushing "up" button and "circle" button simultaneously.

The shell lacks enough members to stand with the twisting stress and UMD shutter has only one nail, so sometimes intentional/unintentional twist --- or touch --- might let UMD discs pop out.

But in most situation it's not serious problem, cuz you can resume the game by simply re-inserting the UMD disc, unless you're battling with your friend in real-time. And some reports that the newer PSP unit has a bit improved nail part and seems more twist-resistant.

that sucks for Sony, but why do i care?
I`m a Nintendo fan! Eat poo PSP!!

Hey, as long as they fix this crap by the time the PSP comes statewide, I could care less! Hahaha!

FYI, creaking noise and button-stucking has reported not only in square button, but right trigger of "+" key and "L" button placed upside the body. Someone discovered another oddity in PSP's hardware design, as "L" button and "R" button is in reality not symmetrical in their assembly parts. While "R" button is constituted by a rubber membrane, white reinforcement part and the button trigger itself, "L" button lacks the white part. I'm not yet sure if this asymmetry explains the different feeling between "L/R" buttons and the "L" button's jerky movement in some units.

R button - http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2004/1212/psp25.jpg

Now we're guessing the reason why they made a round cutting on the LCD mount sponge, and some of us concluded that uncutted sponge might interfere the intended movement of square button or reduce pushing margin.

Hi Samuel, those pics aren't fake at all! Two Japanese notes in second pic means "actual circuit pattern" and "appropriate design", from left to right. If you doubt me, please confirm this is real thing at these URLs.

Trustful IT-related publisher "impress" has reported inside-analysis of PSP on their website "PC watch", and still you can find the crippled circuit pattern (of course they never mention about glitch of square button and its primary cause).

Sony makes me sick. Every single product they ever made is a flakey overpriced piece of garbage. Have they ever heard of durability? Why can't they improve their manufacturing process! For God's sakes, WHY!? You are a disgrace to your god damn country you stupid Japanese bastards.

LOL @ those disc movies.

Hi, I'm one of Japanese sony-heckler. Among all trouble reports, what most frightened (er, in reality, amused) us is that the "strange offset" discovered between "square" button and its switch pattern below the button. Obviously it connotes some unusual things had happen in their development or production process. For instance, see pics below:

Many users already reported that square button doesn't be pushed and returned as smoothly as other buttons do (that's natural cuz the button doesn't placed in the right position where the membrane switch-pattern suggests), and sometimes makes a creaking noise. What a heck is this faulty packaging?

They probably tried to build it to break down after a year and f***ed up doing that.

I dont want to say I told you so, but what else applies here? Manufacturing defects are Sony's unofficial pride and joy.

Nelson Muntz puts it best, "Haw haw".
Sony's manufacturing has gone from so-so to craptacular. I miss the days when consoles were made in Japan and actually lasted longer than the generation in which it was released.

I feel sorry for those suckers that spent $500+ for theirs (not really).

I was all psyched about the PSP coming out, and now it seems as though it's mroe trouble than it's worth.

LOL, that video of the UMD slot opening is hilarious!! Sony Sony Sony, when will you learn? People like things to actually BE high quality, not to just LOOK like they are high quality.

I think these are confirmed by now, expecially with the video.

Also if you do plan on importing be warned that you won't be able to return it, if any of these problems occur.
