Well i'm not going to lie. I'm not particularly happy with the battery life and I meantioned that strongly in the 3DS thread which if I remember correctly has a 3 - 5 hour battery life. However considering the power of the PSP2 I will not chew them out as much.

So wait let me get this straight? 3DS which has 3D in it, which uses more power than most devices (for example if you turn off 3D you give the device about 8 hours), you chewed them out, but this you are going to let it slide?

(This applies to every one who did it, and thinks this is alright, besides Hunter_alien, since he was one of the only people who actually accepted it both times

A parallax barrier is a device placed in front of an image source, such as a liquid crystal display, to allow it to show a stereoscopic image without the need for the viewer to wear 3D glasses. Placed in front of the normal LCD, it consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of depth through parallax in an effect similar to what lenticular printing produces for printed products.^[1][2] A disadvantage of the technology is that the viewer must be positioned in a well defined spot to experience the 3D effect.^[3]

It shouldn't be that power consuming. And yes, with the psp2's specs, a battery life of 4-5 hors would be pretty damn surprising. (in a good way) Especially when looking at the battery life of the first psp.
