Sony PSP Defects Reported

Posted by Zonk on from the psp-means-please-send-parts? dept.

Among many to report on this issue, OneHungLo writes "GamesAreFun.com is reporting that several defective PSP units have been shipped, suffering from problems such as dead pixels, broken UMD drives, air bubbles in the screens, dust in the screens, and the analog "nubs" not working, or actually falling off. They also have a video of a UMD popping out of the PSP as it's running, due to the unit being twisted/turned. I wonder how long it will be until Sony issues an official statement about this?"

    That slashdot gets a psp icon? Kind of strange having the ps2 controller and the gameboy represent the psp....

    I hate when that happens. So much for the nipple being the only natural interface.
