Barely has the dust from Sony’s announcement settled and already it is being claimed the PSP2’s battery life is a mere 4-5 hours.
The (as yet still unofficial) “4-5 hour” figure, though far from impressive, is on par with if not slightly better than the officially announced 3DS battery life of “3-5 hours.”
Handheld gaming unfortunately seems to have entered into a new era in which trips to a power socket are almost as frequent as trips to save points.
An estimated maximum of 5 hours for both products? That just won’t do.
I love how everyone here is passing down judgment on the NGP and 3DS when they haven’t even been released yet. Please wait a bit before jumping to “ZOMG THE NGP/3DS SUX CUZ XXX”.
NGP= Not Gonna Pirated
So… enjoy your 3D, DPs.
lol… panic now.
That’s as long as the PSP battery lasts, and in practical terms, it’s plenty. I find if I charge it daily like most gadgets it never runs flat when I’m away from home. That’s 3-5 hours of continuous play time, which I never get if I’m away from home. People talk to me, I get interrupted, I never have to wait 5 hours straight for something, etc. So with that on and off pattern of gaming, I find 6-8 hours is enough to get a PSP down to around 50-60% remaining charge.
