My friend works at a Game Crazy store and I went in to talk to him for a bit the other day. We get on the subject of the PSP somehow and he tells me about a guy that came in and asked them why his PSP wasn't working. The other guy that works there took the guy's PSP to look at it and noticed something was rattling around inside. He opened the disc door to find a UMD.......broken out of it's plastic housing. Apparently this genious had done this to not one, not two, but ALL FIVE PSP games he had bought. He was so mad that he left the game disc there which they used for a laugh.
It's stories like this that make me miss working at a game store.

sounds like a child played with it... or that owner has a mind of a 5year old.

Wow, the nerd superiority flowing through this thread can only be matched by the Comic Book Guy.

Seriously, there are people out in the world that don't normally play videogames. I know it's hard to believe, but they're out there.

EDIT: I know he probably could just have read the manual, but they do look like they are in tiny cases.

Okay, I will admit when I first looked at a UMD, I was like "WTF is this CD doing in this thing." :emb: But after looking at it and the UMD slot I realized, "Well there in't anything to hold the disc in place but this case." So I popped it in. So something hear just screams idiot.

I agree... there is something called a manual and user guide... as long as you know how to read, you SHOULD be ok.

Of course having a modest optical media background helps.

Sony Minidisc
ALso, in the old days, you could put a single CD inside a 'cartridge' and load it into a cdrom player.
