Please bear with me because i know this sounds weird but i am interested to know who elese gets pins and needles in there left hand while playing psp. I think it is because it is harder to use the left sholder button and look at the screen at the same time.

I am just generly interested if other people get this problem or is this just me and my hand is weird.

( I swear this is not spam )

you have carpal tunnel, or some other degenerative disease that deals with repetitive motions. you should limit your game play to 20 mins at a time and no more than 6 hours per week.

this is what a doctor would reccomend, you face a very painful surgery on your elbow/tendons when you get older if you don't ease up.

don't feel too bad though, i have mild epilepsy, if i play a game like wipeout or shinobi i start going numb everywhere and my eyes shoot off in directions that i can't control! so it could be worse laugh.gif

I would not say it is that sersous it only happens when I play Streat fighter and burnot legends, so far It has done nothing to my other games and nothing has ever happened when playing ps2.

I wouldn't say it's too bad. It happens to me quite often, but I think it's fine.

I find it's worse when I am playing the PSP while laid in bed. I think it's the holding up the PSP that does it... I have to move once in a while to get feeling back!

Thanks you have put my mind at rest.

I find that same happens to me. Although mostly when I'm lying in bed playing. I agree that's it's probably the way you have to hold the psp.

I know that a lot of people had problems with this with the first gba as well. If you use the joystick that has an effect on it as well due to hand position.
