Anybody tried those hand grip things for the PSP

[Anthony1]

About the only bad thing I can say regarding the PSP is that for some reason, my thumb starts to really get uncomfortable. I'm not sure why it is. But it's like I get a freaking arthritis of the thumb or something when I play the PSP for more than 5 minutes and use that D pad. Some games are much worse than others in that regard.

I'm just wondering if maybe the handgrips would actually help me. Personally, I really don't like the idea of using them, and I think the PSP would be much cooler without those things attatched to it, but damn, I might have to choose comfort over looks.

I always play my PSP inside the Logitech PlayGear Pocket case. It makes the whole experience significantly more comfortable.

I don't really like playing in the play gear, PSP is comftorable enough for me. As for the handgrips I haven't tried them.

I get a similiar discomfort after an hour or two on the D-Pad or Analog nub - but I only notice it when I've finished playing the PSP, and try to use my thumb for something else. But I guess I don't really mind enough at the moment to want to consider buying another accessory.

Same here. But after 2hrs+ of gaming on GTA, my whole right hand goes numb.

I don't have that problem for some reason. I've never felt any controller or system to be uncomfortable.

I've noticed this too. After about 5 minutes on a PSP my thumbs and hands are screaming in pain.

I have had some discomfort while playing Wipeout Pure. Other than that, the PSP has been quite comfortable.

who cares about those small black things

When using the crappy nub, yes. The controls on the system, as a whole, are really poorly thought out. I don't have any suggestions; maybe get one of those analog stick attachments for the nub. Those look like they could alleviate some discomfort, at least when playing any analogue heavy games.
