Hey I tried researching this but didn't reallie find anytihng. I know Sony knows of the square button being a lil weird. I am from the US and just received a FM 1.52 PSP. The thing is the square button is a lil sticky/less reponsive than the other ones. Is this the case. I know in Japan, the buttons were stuck sometimes. Mine is necessarily stuck, but it just has a different bounce to it than the other 3 buttons. Like circle, X or triangle. Just wondering if anyone has a newer FM like 2.5 or something and if they still have the same problems. Cuz I went to a Best Buy to test their's out and it seems like they are about the same feeling as mine. Maybe a little better. Sorrie for the long post, but newbie here, hope everyone can advise.

Oh yeah, and its a little slanted when u press down aslo, tends to press down more towards screen instead of straight down

yes even on the newer white psps its the same thing,
this is because the square button is so close to the Lcd screen so the square botton is actually a little bit to the left of where its supposed to be so it doesn't effect the LCD screen performance.
i mean, u know how u see the square button on your psp, well the thing bellow it that that is pressed to perform an action is actually a little towards the right.

Yeah I read about that somewhere. So this is all prevalent? So all sq buttons are just not as responsive, but its still working right? Just wondering and makin sure mine is not broken. I guess this is just the way its design is. Cuz I went to Best Buy, played some others and its the same. Anyone else has the same problem?
