I'm guessing 3-5 hours. Wifi ad 3G are both battery suckers.

This is my guess, too.  And I think a lot of people are going to complain (Like when PSP was about to launch and people were saying "We can't even watch Lord of the Rings before the battery dies!").  In the end, I don't think it will be much of a hinderance.  It's the cost of having a lot of power in the palm of your hands.  How long does your laptop/tablet last?

My laptop lasts 2 hours, because it has a 16" screen and is meant as a desktop PC which you can have on your lap if you are near a power port

PS Vita is to be carried around so needs more battery life. I would expect 4-5 hours with wi-fi and 3G off, but actually having Uncharted Golden Abyss and hopefully a GTA  is what I really want

About the same as the later PSPs and the 3DS. 3-5 hours.

No disc based media and OLED screen, so I hope 4h at least.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I'm hoping for 6 to 8 hours. Thats what I got out of my PSP playing games from the memory stick.

5-6 hours, the psp lasts over 5 hours running games from a mem stick. since the psv has no umd and the screen is an oled it should last that long with the wi-fi turned off at least.


I think these are the two main reasons it's going to be atleast 4 hours but i'm expecting 5. 5 would be great.



4 ≈ One

That's cool.  But I'm willing to bet avatar control that I'm closer to correct than you--even with the oled screen and the lack of umd.  I don"t think the PSV will last one minute over 3 hours without a recharge.

I feel no need to take control of your avatar, so just a gentleman's bet....

Also I should point out, this is with wi-fi, 3G, low screen brightness but only for game playing so I can't cheat and claim it lasts 10 hours by playing music with the screen off.
