Yep, they are taking away the restriction soon. You know what that means right? The PSP will now have more raw horsepower then the PS2... Though this will probably tank the battery. Meaning that the rumor of a new revision is probably true to compensate.

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.

Don't they need that extra oomph for God of War to be playable? I sure hope the battery life doesn't go down to a miserable 2 hours of play time, otherwise what is the point of it being a portable handheld system.

Yep, thats one of the reasons.

Sounds like a better battery in the PSP Slim seems strongly hinted at.

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

Lawl.

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

So all 20 million PSP owners just got f*cked because their batteries suck?

Ouch...

If I had a Pee-S-Pee I wouldn't bother running it off the battery anyway. I'd have it plugged into the wall or car or whatever at all times instead of fighting with keeping it charged all the time. In essence, I'd be using it just like a console, except it would be a handheld.

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 wish I could keep my Wiimotes plugged in, those things eat batteries faster than a PSP.

KDR_11k, get rechargeable batteries!!

I thought a diesel fueled PSP2 was already confirmed?

Prettier games, exactly what the PSP was lacking in the first place!!!

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.

Ceric · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2007, 03:42:35 AM »

Thats why when the Wii sales start to slump they will release the Wiimote 2. With double the battery life. Therefor reselling 4 controllers to each Wii owner.

Also, the PS2 requires a TV. I mean right there makes the PSP a better bargain. ;P

My DS lasts about 15+ hours without a recharge needed...

Remember that battery lives fade over time. If your DS battery is weak, it means it's had a whole lot of use, as well as a good deal of time has passed. That said, pretty much every PSP battery is about as strong as ever!

IceCold · « **Reply #23 on:** June 30, 2007, 11:04:43 AM »

KDR just got unlucky with his remotes, I guess.. mine last a very long time with Energiser NiMH rechargeables.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #24 on:** June 30, 2007, 08:35:26 PM »

I hope the DS2 and PSP2 use fuel cells instead of batteries. Laptop computers are starting to come out that use fuel cells. I've never seen one myself, but I hear that they last a lot longer than batteries and you just refill them or something....
