Longer PSP Battery Length Was All Lies

Never hurt anyone

After announcing the brand new slimline PSP at E3 one of the big bullet points that Sony hit on while trying to sell the redesign to the audience, both in attendance and worldwide, was that the new PSP's battery would last longer for gaming on the move. Hell, we even reported on the matter, the fools we were! However, it has now come to light that this information was more of a small white light by the company, rather than been actual fact.

You see, if you have the battery from your original PSP put in the slimline, you'll be able to get 8-10 hours play, which is the number Sony touted at E3. However, the new PSP will come packed with a smaller battery, one that will only run for about 5 hours while gaming, which is a fair few hours less. Also, if you try and put the original battery in you PSP it won't fully fit in the slot and bulge out of the system, kinda like the same problem you will get if you put a GBA cart in the DS Lite.

So it seems not all is as we once thought. Still, the console will be 33 per cent lighter and 19 per cent slimmer and have some extra options, it will also be able to output high quality video. If that not enough it is also coming to Europe first, lucky us!
 

so, lie or no lie ? ^^



Time to Work !
