So can it play all of Advent Children in one sitting or not?I wonder if we'll get huge external battery packs like the Game Gear had.Quote:

at 8:30, he left home for school with the psp (battery fully recharged during the night before) and listened to mp3 all the way untill he arrived at school at around 9:30. he then checked the battery in the menu: it said "91%. estimated remaining mp3 playback time: 9 hours."
he then watch movie from memory stick for around 40 mins in his class and then checked the battery again: "80%, estimated remaining movie playback time 4 hours". he said he paused the movie and checked the battery several times during that 40 mins (he did that too during the 1h of mp3 playback) and based on his observation, playing movies consuming the battery at least twice as fast as playing mp3.
he then showed off his new psp among his classmates. everyone awed and cam.
he listened to mp3 during his 1-hour home trip again. he watched movie for around 10 mins during that time. after he arrived home, he checked the battery again: 73%.
he said the mp3s sound much better on his psp than on his ipod.

I ask this,
since when has faulty hardware every hurt Sony's sales? Look at all those beyond fragile PSOne's and Two's guys.
Thing is still gonna sell bucketloads, only chance you got really is to hope for once, that word of mouth works against Sony.
They actually have a two-fold problem though. First, they won't be able to produce enough units to satisfy the launch rush. Second, if the people who can't get one day one hear about terrible battery life from the people who get it at launch, the further shipments may not sell anywhere near expectations.Quote:

And even if you DO want to play a puzzle game with the lights down, the sound off, single player, 4-6 hours is still ridiculous. If you're away from an outlet for a long time for whatever reason (long plane trips being the most obvious example I can think of), you're basically fucked.
God forbid anyone decides to release an RPG, a GTA style game, or anything else that encourages play for more than half an hour at a time.
Since they released expensive PDAs that could do everything but only lasted 2 hours on a charge and wound up flopping.Quote:

This affects every single person who buys it, and it's a constant problem. It's not something that can be fixed by exchanging the product, and it's not a problem that will only appear once in a while... if you buy a PSP, that PSP is going to have this battery life, period.
I'd compare it to every single PS2 ever made being guarenteed a DDE every four to six hours.
Amen to that.Quote:

Actually they are implying that they are going to make a new revision of the psp with a 14 hour life sometime in the futureQuote:

Oh man dont' get me wrong I'm so on your side with this. I hate Sony, as I worked at a Toys 'r' Us during the great memory card drought of 2002, and could not believe that we had oggles of PS2's on the shelves and no memory cards.Quote:

I agree.Quote:

I just don't like the idea of another piece of faulty Sony Hardware running rampant and being the must own thing of the millenia. Sony sucks at stablity, and I just hope for once, it bites them in their fat, corporate, ass.
Without sound or a backlight.
I'd completely agree with your message here however, and I think there was a thread for this, how many Playstation products have you owned?Quote:

PS2's are built like shit, and the consumers are treated like shit (look to the post about the Memory card and hardware shortages that happen every year) and honestly, it never bothered anyone. The PSP has more inherent design and hardware problems and I'd like to believe its going to bother someone, but I really don't think it will matter as much as we'd like it to.
