Defect in PSPs Turns Disks Into Throwing Stars

Posted by Zonk on from the click-arrrrrrrgh! dept.

Headcase88 writes "Gamespot has confirmed a rumour in which if you twist a PSP in the right (wrong?) way, the UMD will go flying out of the portable. To quote the article: "...we were brave enough to use one of our precious PSP units to test the theory. Amazingly, with just the right touch, out it popped". I guess you could do this on purpose and pull off some pretty unexpected pranks."

    Is it really? From the videos it looks to me like it sort of "poops" out without much velocity. Although it is admitedly hard to tell for sure from these videos. And don't get me wrong, it's not exactly a good bug but I am just wondering if "throwing stars" is a little sensationalistic. But Slashdot editors are NEVER sensationalistic :) I don't know WHAT I could be thinking....
