PSP Failures

Honestly, I expected problems like this to arise release day, they're late this time. Just like the PS and the PS2 before it, the PSP has defects, the funniest being the "Projectile UMD" Just watch the video

Hopefully by the time the PSP shows up stateside, all these hilarious defects will be gone with. Merry Christmas everyone.

Nah, they'll just add one of those GBA-manual style warnings with comedy drawing; "Things not to do with your PSP; Do NOT twist the console. Do NOT Fire UMD's at your friends and family. Do NOT adapt this to fire snowballs at people. Do NOT use this as a novel way of removing UMD's from your Playstation(t.m.)Portable(t.m.). Do NOT report this hilarious defect on the internet. Do NOT point out how damn stupid it is that the screen isn't recessed..."
I can see it leading to some upsetting moments when it happens accidentally at important points in the game.

Hold on. I bought a DS. Defect-free portable gaming.
