UMD= Universal Money Drainer (damn you sony)

If this already hasn't happened to you, then be warned. The casings will pretty much fall apart if not properly taken care of. You'd think that Sony would pack those adorably-sized UMD discs into sturdier casings but no. This first started with my copy of Metal Gear Acid. The front plastic covering (where the UMD logo is) will get pressed into the game disc, preventing it from spinning when in the PSP. And that's not all--the white rims will eventually fall out of place. So basically, the whole UMD casing will fall apart. This happened with my copy of Metal Gear Acid and THUG 2 Remix, rendering both games useless. It's already beginning with my copies of Coded Arms and Lumines. Luckily, none of my UMD movies are falling apart.
Just thought I'd give the "PSP-squad" a heads-up.

hmmm well i've had my games for a few months even had them imported from over the world. the game i own are
Ridgeracer
untold legends
Metal Gear Acid
Dynasty Warriors
NFSU:Remix
DVD:Movie - Transformers The Movie

i've had fifa football and nfsu rivals for quite a while (since may) and there is no damage on them

maybe a bit of advice for you darko buy a umd protective case maybe your not looking after them as well as you should.

Or perhaps you should just take care of your games better...

Ill umd protective case u a knuckle sandwich! (j/k)

no i take loads of care of my games. i wipe them down with baby diapers so that they're smooth. (not really but still) this has happened to a lot of my friends and to some other people i know over the net =/. I guess most of us are just stricken with bad luck =(

Stop trying to put them in the wrong slot!

just cuz ur little disc is in a case doesnt mean you can abuse it. I treat mine like cd's, and I have yet to have 1 problem with them. Just take care of your stuff, it costs a decent amount of money, why risk it.

Yeah, i treat them like babies and the still fall apart. This has happened to like 2 out of the 5 umds i have. Also, this has happened to atleast 10 other people i know now.

shut up lol u just got to take care of them lmao they pretty sturdy to im a really careful person and once my umd was snatched out of my handand fell on concrete still in good condition to so u must like sit on ur to break it or something

never had this problem and neither have any of my friends, perhaps you just got crap copies of the game :P

I have a PSP, I have games, I very seldom have problems with any disks... the PSP has the UMD plastic thing which I think is very good, it works well I guess, doesn't scratch the disk inside, I would assume the game store would be able to repair it if the plastic cracks... but I don't know :S


Lesson is, put them in a padded box, like I do ;P

i have :

Ridge Racer
NFS: Most Wanted 5-1-0
Samurai Warriors

But no problems yet ...

Well... If you decide to throw your UMD's at passing cars on your local freeway / busy road... Then don't be suprised if they DO fall apart.......
