"Battery life the truth"

Just thought you mis-informed Ninty fanboys might like to nip over to
IGN psp and find out the real battery life details rather than the 90min horror stories you have been spouting out.

The PSP's life span is appalling, the fact the PSP didn't totally sell out in its first week and was outsold by the DS shows something.

It shows nothing really, but what it does show is that the PSP won't be "crushing" the DS after all.

So you have to re-charge EVERYTIME you want to want to play it again.

A Gameboy would be a good hour or so a day gamings or a full car journey before needing to re-charge.

God! you 2 really never give up, do you?

You're like floaters that won't flush.

Go back to painting your Warhammer figures or what ever it is you freaks do in your spare time.

...and not forgetting the N64. Nintendo no longer lead the home console market due that one.

That is nice for you what I am trying to say is though, products today are expected to have these features peoples expectations and demands have change and if you don't move with the times then you get left behind (GC and DS).

Quality debate as usual, try broadening your horizons and visiting the websites of grown ups who can actually afford them, and you will find out it is 'ummm yes'.

The owner of the import shop I visit is so impressed by Ridge Racers he's offering £400 plus to anybody who can get him one before christmas, lol. eBay prices have gone ridiculous. Personally, I can wait...

I have an mp3 player for mp3s.
And it holds way more songs than the PSP (or the DS), and the battery life is a lot longer. A lot longer.

Funny how people wont fork out for an extra battery for £50 for their PSP.

Does that mean DS owners will fork out their extra £50 so they can play mp3, movies and mpegs using the panasonic cartridge device.

By the way those features above are standard on a psp.

You're a bit screwed if you take your PSP on an 8 hour flight and want to be entertained by watching films, listening to music or playing games.

You're point being.
