Got my PSP slim and first day I noticed that there is a bit of light coming from the right arrow of the D-Pad. Is this normal? The PSP buttons are transparent and some light is coming up from the bottom whenever the screen is lit up. Doesn't annoy me too much but sometimes when I play in the dark it can become really noticable.

Okay cool, I thought it was only me on this one :). Oh and does the control stick seem to be slightly moved to the upper-right? I think it might just look that way because the PSP's body kind of bends downwards on the left...

yup, mine is slightly to the middle right, but in-game the character doesn't automatically move right so that proves theres nothing wrong with it. so its all good!

Yeah I noticed it the first day, but I knew it was the LCD so I didn't freak.

If I push my Square button a bit to the right there's also light coming from there as well.

Pretty pointless post, but I'm just going to continue to assure you that it does it with my PSP aswell. I just bought it about 2 days ago, and the right analog button shows a bit of the LCD glow. Not distracting at all, especially when playing a game, and focusing on the screen.

So, final thought....

No worries!
