Also just for everyone to know the rest of the raw numbers I could find are comparable. With the screen res being 480x272 we may even see games that look better then what they could on the PS2. Irony all over.

It would be hilarious if this better battery lasted a SHORTER amount of time than the original with the processor now unlocked.

Yeah the PSP might have not sucked if it were completely different. But it was the same. ha ha

That's basically how I see it -- it is a handheld, definitely, but it isn't a portable. It should be called the PSH (Playstation Handheld), because calling it a portable implies that it has a great battery life, and that just isn't so.
But since you can't ever be far from an electrical socket when you use your PSP, why not just use a PS2 instead? Sony just doesn't get it.
I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP's sequel uses the Cell processor, and Mini-blu-ray discs, and requires fuel cells or even a portable fusion reactor to play. It would get so hot that in order to play it you would have to wear oven mitts.

I thought a diesel fueled PSP2 was already confirmed?

I do. That doesn't help. I feel like I get less playtime out of each charge than I do with my DS and that thing already has an unacceptable battery time.
Post by: Ceric on June 30, 2007, 03:42:35 AM
Also, the PS2 requires a TV. I mean right there makes the PSP a better bargain. ;P

My DS lasts about 5 hours on one charge. Been like that from the start and from what I heard it's the normal battery life for a regular DS. Mashiro, I bet you have a Lite because a regular DS never got close to even 10 hours, no matter who you ask.

But guess what, the DS' battery is replaceable!!!
Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 30, 2007, 11:15:45 PM
Anyways, Kairon is right. There is a panel on the back of the DS where I presume the battery can be removed and replaced when it dies....

Your unit must be defective. I get more then 5-6 out of mine.

Same, it has been on the decline as well as it used to last much, much longer. I got mine on launch day, though, and have plugged a lot of hours into it (300+ in Diamond alone...) so I'm not too surprised that the battery is taking a beating.
More of an excuse to get a Lite someday, I suppose.
Post by: Kairon on July 01, 2007, 11:21:53 AM
You can easily replace the DS' battery with any first party or third party solution. Just unscrew, replace, rescrew.
Post by: UncleBob on July 01, 2007, 11:30:04 AM
Anyone know if you lose your WiFi settings as well?

Oh yeah, it was a mistake.
Would an LED be expensive? I always thought that a stated advantage for LEDs was that they were cheap?

Be quite you. If the make it for an older crowd they might make it more ergonomic as well.

LEDs are cheap, but wouldn't an LED screen have to have each pixel be its own LED? Each one would not cost a lot, but how many pixels and LEDs would it take to complete a screen?

Chozo Ghost: I think one version replaces the backlight of the screen from flourescent to led and if you did do a color led for each pixel you need at least 3 per pixel to account for each color currently shown. So the DS screen is 256 x 192, I don't get the 192, 49,152 pixels per screen. 98,304 pixels total so that means 294,912 leds if it takes 3 per pixel. Though I haven't found good middle ground documentation on how that all works for the newer led display they are putting into computers.
