I don't know why, but I always take out my UMD when I'm not playing it. I'm probably sure it's no big deal but I developed habit of never leaving a disk, UMD, or anything else in any system.

But what about everyone else? Just wondering.

It is a dumb question, but I love answering dumb questions. :D I take it out most of the time but when I have to stop playing for a while I just quickly turn the PSP off and leave the UMD in so I can continue right away. My cousin often leaves it in, and it causes no problems at all. Neither the UMD or the PSP itself will get screwed, no matter how many times you do it.

I leave it in and hardly ever play it. I hate when it makes that noise when I turn on my PSP. But yeah nothing has happened so far.

I leave the tip in, y'know... just to "see how it feels" kinda thing. All the while I'm just wonderin' if we're gonna get drunk enough to do something stupid. The whole process makes me uncomfortable, but thanks.

I've been gaming for a while, and when we used cartridges I left it in (mostly to keep them off the floor). When Cds and their cases came out, unless I'm trying to finish a game, or I'm not going to be playing for a couple of days I keep them in their cases.

Well a PSP is build for UMD's so when your PSP fails cause of the UMD then it would be real **** up.

I don't think there has ever been a time where my PSP didn't have some sort of UMD in it. So i'm gonna have to say no.

Hahaha, you remind me of myself just after I by something new. Screen protectors, case, freakin out of a little mark, paranoia to the max.

It's all good, the umd are probably safer in the psp than anywhere else and it won't harm the psp at all.

I always remove CD and such from machines after use, however the UMD's are protected 85% of the entire disk by plastic so I leave those inside as that'll reduce the chance of potential scratches caused by the PSP itself.

I leave it in if for no other reason than to save space in my game cases. Especially if it's a good RPG that I pick up on a whim.

i do all the time. is that bad? my umds are breaking but i think that is because i have a bad third-party case. i wanted to trade flatout for burnout legends at gamestop but they wouldn't let me cause it was broke and i have no money so imma super glue it! when you take the top plastic part (the part that says UMD) of from the white part, i think it loads faster. and yes i know about replacement umds but i don't like online shopping and i can't find them in stores.

I usually keep mine in, since I don't feel like finding the case and putting it in, instead of just turning on the PSP.

I always leave it in, just as I do with cartridge systems. I just figure it's harder for dust etc... to get in there if I a) rarely open the UMD door and b) leave the UMD in there all tight and stuff.
