Simple enough question. Also, what game or games prompted you to get one?.

I had Darkstalkers and SF3Alpha for so long then recently managed to find a set of thumb pads at my local import shop, it works a treat and now I am playing those games a lot now. I am finally able to play them as intended.. I cannot see why Sony do not release their own as they are perfectly safe to use.

I think the PSP is a great platform for bringing over great fighters of the past, it's getting another one very soon in the form of Samurai Showdown Anthology at the end of the year.

OIC! Supposed to make the buttons and analog stick on the PSP more comfortable and somewhat easier to use, like diagonal strokes on the d-pad for example, right?

:P haha, I remember having one of those on my GBA back in the day. This is quite useful though, it would be especially useful for me and Mortal Kombat + Teken DR. I didn't really think that PSP would have them but I was proven wrong! :P Looks cool.

I have a slim and the d-pad works fine for fighting games, but my friend has a fat psp and I dont see how they released it with a crappy d-pad like that I'll tell him to get one of those things

Are the D-pads of Slim & Phat different? I thought they were very similar infact, virtually the same?

I opened my psp up and put some hard plastic under the buttons to raise them. Look the same, but totally kicks ass now. Dragon punch!

The buttons on the psp slim are the same size it just the volume and home music and screen buttons are caved in a little bit I dont see how anyone could break there screen pressing them unless they have ginormous thumbs lol but that realy is unlucky what happened my first time hearing somthin like that.

if something bulges out like that doesnt it kinda take away the more portable aspect of it not to mention it wouldnt fit in my protective case
