@ Shams, they cut the power usage of the psp, so it generally has the same amount of battery life if used on the slim psp, but if you use the original psp battery you have 12 hours instead of 6.

You have 8-10, not 12, and that 8-10 hours (just like the DS 15-19) is with everything set on the lowest setting.


I really dont think the average psp life on the current psp is 5 hours, at least my psp last around 7 and a half hours with full lighting and volume.


 I somehow doubt that.  Why?

  1. Everyone I know with a PSP says the 3-6 figure is about right.  Nobody says more (maybe a little more than 6 every now and then).
  2. If it did last 7 hours, Sony would say 7 hours.  They aren't going to lowball their figures on their lowest settings especially when they quote something as low as 3-6.  That really just is an embarrassing number.  I'm pretty sure even the Gamegear got that much.
  3. I'm guessing you just don't really keep track of time when you play your PSP for several, what, 30-45 minute sessions and just guess you have logged 7+ hours on a single charge when it was probably 3-4. 

Well, listening to music as well as playing games it lasts me 7.5 hours. But I put it on stanby while listening to music which tends to use less power.
