i don't know if i am the only one , but ever since i purchased the new psp slim my hands seem to be sweating like crazy. i have had to original psp's since the launch and my hands never sweated as much as they do now. i play the psp slim just as long as i always played and i can't stop my hands from sweating , also the plastic they used now to make it is like a sweat magnet. has anyone else noticed a difference or is it just me?

I used to sweat alot more with the original PSP, not as much now.

Dunno what the root of the problem is, I wipe my hands down on my shirt once in awhile.

I'm gonna totally guess here but I'd assume the slim's shiny plastic back feels more slippery than the older model's back due to it being more of a matte texture that isn't as sweat attracting. Kinda like how a wet garage floor is more slick than a wet concrete sidewalk.....

Yeah, I've been awake too long. Sorry if that made no sense.

I have the same problem, i can't play the slim as long as i did the phat. Becuase my hands will get sweaty within the first hour or so, instead of the regular 3 hours on the phat. Just because when my hands get sweaty i'll keep dieing or something..

I think it's because of the new back, and it may feel more slippery because the old PSP back was more textured.

it can also be due to oil build up in your hands so before you play wash your hands thoroughly with soap and then dry with a towel..it helps me when i play gta:vcs..i still sweat a little but not as much

it's definately more slippery due to the new plastic housing , i have almost dropped it so many times casue my hands were so sweaty. and it gets really dirty really quick , in between load times i have to wipe the psp down before i continue to play

I never get sweaty hands whil playing the psp slim and have played the original psp and never got sweaty hands before. I think its because I don't play the psp for long hours maybe the least 2 hours and thats it.
