Koller: PSP-3000 Battery Life Decreased By 20-30 Minutes

Speaking in a recent interview, Sony Computer Entertainment America product marketing manager John Koller revealed that the battery life of the PSP-3000 will be decreased by 20-30 minutes, due to the larger power draw of the brighter screen.[blockquote2]Battery life will decrease by a small amount, it's about 20 minutes maybe 30 minutes and that's because there's a larger power draw with the brighter screen.[/blockquote2]Good news is, despite previous reports to the contrary, the PSP extended battery life pack is not being discontinued and will be available to consumers this holiday season, offering 8-10 hours of play time.

So what?
those are just 20-30 minutes.

And sony are bitches, can't they put the extended life battery as the default one?

<p>the screen being brighter is great.</p>
<p>Sony, i don't really mind about losing thirty minutes.
I would sacrifice 30 minutes of battery JUST for the brightness.</p>
<p>plus, i can always use my PSP Phat Battery to make the PSP-3000 more efficient.</p>
<p>but one thing that stops me from buying the PSP-3000 is the price+ the fact that it is Pandora-Proof.</p>
<p>I think this PSP might be either a TA-089, or TA-090, or just a TA-088 V4 motherboard too, because i think TA-088 V3 can't support new hardware and new hardware modules. ( new LCD screen+microphone+new CPU,etc.)</p>
<p>Thats all i have to say so far.</p>

<p>eww 20-30 mins battery cut short because of a brighter screen sony should of cut the battery short due to better performance </p>

i wouldnt mind 20-30 mins diffrence i mean when i get to my house i just go plug it it in
and i ussaly dont go without charging it for more then 4 hours
