"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.

umm, no



And I'm willing to bet it takes at least 2 hours to charge the battery anyway.

The people who actually own them (unlike you bunch) are getting 5 hours play out of Ridge.

Do aircraft have "DC" customer power points - at least on some.

Yeah, the batteries cost £50. Oh, what's that? You don't want to carry a £50 battery around with you?



What about an 8 hour flight to America? Assumming a full charge you could play on your SP/DS for the entire journey.

Can you buy extra batterys?

Im slightly dissapointed with the battery life, but its still a wicked piece of kit.

Think of it like this:
If your phone had 3 hours talk time, you'd soon get very annoyed with it. Sure, you say, who talks for 3 hours? But during the course of a day or two days without a charge it could easily happen, and just when you want to talk again your phone runs out of battery. Everyone says it's fine because you'd never play Ridge Racer for 3 hours, but who wants to be charging their PSP every night? Say you forget and leave it in your bag, or you forget your charger as you stay over the night at a friends - you can't play it again for ages. If the battery life was 10 hours you'd still have 7 hours left to play, effectively 2 more days.
Also think that if you play Ridge racer for 1½hrs, that's basically 4hrs worth of MP3 playing gone down the drain in just 90 minutes.

I could easily play Ridge Racer for 3 hours in one go.

Easily.

And I don't want to go every few hours having to charge it up, man.

3.5 hours for a battery hungry game like Ridge Racer is not bad. Lets face it, can you see your self playing Ridge Racer for 3.5 hours in one go, on a hand held system? No. Other games will use less battery anyway.

nice tscore was banned now ban the not-so-split-personality mac... 3 hours is lame....although-most wi fi devices do suck up a lot of battery (ask any laptop owner) so you can thave a go at em for that figure..

The PSP is like the Enzo, but you can only drive it for 3 hours before you have to take it to a garage and wait severla hours before you can drive, whereas the DS is the DB9 which drives for ages, and takes slightly less time to refuel.

And the DB9 is cooler anyway.
