How can you feel if plastic is thin by just feeling it? o_O;; Plastic feels like... plastic. PSP uses (not sure) glass? since it's part of the LCD screen. Anyways, the plastic is pretty durable, just the insides aren't >.>

The PSP feels incredibly light and when I squeazed the plastic it flexed. I swear you'd only have to drop it from a metre and it'd break.

My sister was dropped her PSP about a metre and it still works perfectly (although, sadly "perfect" is an overstatement). It probably depends on the angle dropped.

the poor, poor, display psp's they die such a tragic snapping death. One at my local JB hifi, had the nib snapped of, screen cracked, home key missing, and the X button was kinda busted.... the DS's seem to cop a knife in the touchscreen...

havent really heard of PSP's being that fragile in a drop, just easily scratched, snapped, dented or generally broken

I heard that the PSP only lasts for roughly 8 years and after about 3 the shoulder buttons stop working.

Don't you mean 8 months? I don't see how anyone could know that if it's years...

I dunno. Somebody probably tested the PSP against different types of wear and tear and came up with an average lifespan I guess.

8 years is probably longer than the system's lifespan. That doesn't make much sense. It's not like sony to make something to last.
