Sony announces PSP's battery life...

[OB1]

IF by 'should' you mean 'better'...

Unless Sony has a team of wild monkeys heading their PSP department then I see no reason why they'd make such a huge mistake as to leave out the possibility of switching battery packs.

Ah, so another overly optimistic assesment by OB1? It'd hardly surprise me, he seems determined to be a PSP fanboy or something...

I would think it'd be more than an hour... and that recharge time is a big minus. It means that that spare battery really isn't 'optional'... but since this is Sony, I'm sure they'll make you pay extra, and quite a bit extra, to get the thing...

No you see, I'm not a blind Nintendo fanboy like you are. Nintendo is my favorite gaming company but I know very well that they make huge mistakes and are not invincible as their fanboys seem to think they are. I do not wish Sony to succeed in the portable arena, but I refuse to let my love of Nintendo's games blind me into thinking that Sony doesn't know what they're doing.

Read my reply to GR's post.

Exactly... and $20 or more is quite a lot more than $2-$5 for a SP plug adapter...

Yeah, and that extra $15 or so is totally gonna ruin Sony's chances at being successful in the portable market.

You're even more of a blind fanboy than I gave you credit for.

But as OB1 says, three hours IS a good battery life!

If it's rechargeable then it is perfectly fine.

We know nothing about it, but I'm sure it'll crush the PSP...

Like the N64 crushed the PSX? Or the Gamecube crushed the PS2? Yup, you got me there! :roll2:

"rushing" is just about the last term I'd describe to explain what I see as the pace Nintendo is going on the GBA successor... we know NOTHING about it...

Just because we know very little about it doesn't mean that Nintendo isn't frantic. Before the PSP was announced Nintendo made it very clear that they wouldn't replace the GBA anytime soon, then soon after Sony announced the PSP Nintendo said that they'd have something to compete with it "even though Nintendo really doesn't need to compete with Sony".
