New Info About Psp Battery Life(it Sucks)

[FastBullet]

This is officially from sonys mail bag here it is


What battery will the PSP have and how long will it last?
The PSP will have a Li-ion Battery. Battery life was mentioned to be comparable to other high-end portable electronics, which is estimated to be anywhere from 3 to 6 hours.

hahahahahha when you watch lord of the rings you use 3 out of 6 hurs leaving you with only three hours for eitther musis or game play

[Rabunis]

I figure not a whole lot of movies are gonna be made into the psp disc format for this reason alone.

[FastBullet]

yea on th last three hours of movie watching your watching loard of the ring then this is what happen (poof!!!!!!) no more movies becuase yuor psp cut of just like a gameboy does when the battery power runs out

[Vishus]

Unless they have one of those rechargeable thingies like they did on the GBA and make it so that you have more energy in it.

[Nights]

Considering that IGN states that Sony responded to them with a To be announced at TGS statement.

Now they told PSP insider the same thing. I find it very interesting sights haven't announced that yet.

I really doubt it'll be much better. Movie 3 games 5 is my guess but I could always hope.

[FastBullet]

wow but its still dont compare to the nintendo DS


P.S= What is the actual date of tokyo game show?

[Nights]

Dude I've posted this 500X times. 9/24-9/26

[speed stick]

^Not much longer until then. Can't wait to see the PSP in it. The battery life ended up a bit better then I had thought.

[SuperLuigiBros]

Movie 3 games 5 is my guess
i would think it would be the other way around, considering that games are a fuk load more demanding than video. just like a laptop

[Glenn2K4]

sounds horrible.
sony should have stuck with the PDA market.

[bobo_ess]

that battery life isn't so good for a portable, you have to be away for an outlet for a while to make it a good portable, not 3-6 hrs, im think ing like at least 10 to make really worth while.

[Michael]

People can deal with the battery life...as long as it doesn't get annoying...becuase people hate to buy add ones, even batteries..

[koten]

I don't see the "portability" of the PSP if it only has 3-6 hours. That is worthless on a plain trip (like to Hawaii, 17 hours, 10 of them GBA and the other 7 sleep). I really don't think many people will be happy after their machine dies out in the middle of a huge battle with the last boss of (insert some PSP RPG here).

[Flaccid Acid]

thats not too bad. If it does turn out to be 6 full hours then thats pretty good. The gameboy advanced SP only gets 8 hours with the light on. And its aimed for casual gamers who most likly will play it like 3 hours a week.

[koten]

GBA SP has 10 with the light on.

And you know casuals will sit for hours playing that P.O.S. madden for a week on end. I wonder how they'll like it when the battery dies halfway through a game.

[Flaccid Acid]

You really can't put people in to catagories like that. I know some people that say they play video games a bit and their casual gamers and they usualy only play like 3-5 hours a week. True once in a while they will play for hours upon hours on end.

People I know who are casuals usualy have less the 5 games and might buy 1 or 2 at the most a year.

[koten]

I think we might have different defintions of casuals. I see a casual as a person who thinks they are a hardcore gamer and goes into gamestores and buys games based on boxarts, and is sure they will have fun.

Your version however seems to be a person who plays games sparingly and never really buys them unless it is increadibly awsome.

The top one to me is Casual and the bottom one is... i dunno... softcore? Jeez, sounds like a freaking porno

[Teh Roxor!]

That's not a very good battery life, but considering the power of the PSP it's fine with me. I don't see myself watching movies on it anyway; that feature is just stupid.

That's all if I end up buying one...

[Bloodman]

how much can the music featur hold?

[speed stick]

^Probably not a lot.

[prime_timer]

dont expect the PSP to replace your iPod or other portable music device anytime soon.

[Nights]

i would think it would be the other way around, considering that games are a fuk load more demanding than video. just like a laptop

Games don't have to constently load of the disc where as movies do. That is the most energy consuming part and why games can last longer.

Music depends on your memory. Seriously there's nothing stoping you from buying a 6 gigabyte stick other than the price.

So that depends on you. More than likely parts of games will be loaded into the memory to conserve on battery space meaning that some games that use the same sounds and etc will load those to memory and conserve on the amount of energy that would be used from reading the disk.

[FastBullet]

hey nights, do you have a life. or are you too obssesed with psp

[Flaccid Acid]

Hey Fastbullet Why don't you

[FastBullet]

lmfao howwwww about noooooooooooooo noob

[Flaccid Acid]

^Says the man who can't spell and has 50 posts?

[FastBullet]

oh shut up you noob

Yeah. I'm gunna buy a 6 megabite card (for 50 bucks, and only plays ATRACs) when i can just get and iPod (which plays MP3s)

[Nights]

Buy a 20 dollar disc that lets the psp support MP3s.

BTW by the last confrence it sounds like Sony is deciding to include the MP3 support in the PSP again cause they went from no to unsure, so it might come with the system again.

[Viper]

PSP reads UMD discs only and only Sony has UMD writers so there will not be any 3rd party UMD dics to support MP3.

[Nights]

Dude memory... You save them to memory... You can also play games off of the memory.

IE like flash sticks *every upgraded an mp3 player*... (imagine that) We all realized this.

[FastBullet]

well ill its still too early to make asumtions.

[Nights]

That's fact..

[Viper]

Nights, you said
Buy a 20 dollar disc that lets the psp support MP3s.
Disc, not memory stick.

Even if it did come on sticks, you'd have to insert the MP3 player stick everytime you wanted to listen to MP3's.

[FastBullet]

Lol

[koten]

^ What are you, 5?

And Nights, now not only do I have to buy the 50 Dollar Memory Stick but also a 20 Dollar UMD disc, then insert the disc and the memory stick with the specific song I want to listen to into the PSP.

Wow, convinient.

[Rabunis]

omfg PSP is way better than DS

[FastBullet]

no its not

[FastBullet]

no im 13 going on 14 years old

[Nights]

Why would you ever take the memory stick out?

That is what I want to know? I never take my memory cards out of my videogame systems. Doesn't make any since.

The disc would load it into memory the format and then you only need the memory from there, not the disc everytime. Just like you don't need the disc everytime for the PS2 hardrive or Xbox DVD player, same concept.

and it is being hinted that PSP will come automatically with MP3 support again. Cause now sony says that MP3 support is in question, meaning they went from no to decide to more than likely ad it.

But I'm buying the PSP for the games... I'm very excited about the new tales game, Y's, Zweii, devils may cry, and more.

[Viper]

There won't be a MP3 UMD disc unless Sony makes it themselves as only Sony has UMD writers and the PSP only UMD discs.


Newest analyst price expectations:

P.J. McNealy, an analyst with American Technology Research stated "I think it's going to be in the $299-$349 range. Keep in mind that [Sony Computer Entertainment president and CEO Ken] Kutaragi has maintained that they want to break even on the hardware."

[Michael]

^is that with sony's cost too, I mean, will sony make money off of that price? or is that just passing the hardware on to you kinda price(without it making money, per unit)...

[Viper]

$299.99 is passing off the price and $349.99 is possible picking up cash however, this is lower than previously stated as many analysts were stating that it would take nearly a $500.00 price point to make profit with both of these being far higher than the $149.99 to $199.99 'hype' the OPM is BSing us with.

[Michael]

^any chance of sony making gamers pay to play...like they do on the big console...last I heard they were trying to connect it with PSO network...

[Viper]

That is another part of the PSP they have yet to give any info on, even to developers.

[Michael]

Well that sucks...it could be anything...I know the psp is being realsed later, but I don't see how I can get a system without all of it's advantages, and disadvantages known...btw, get on Aim...

Edit: but really, I do feel as though they will charge for the service, even though it's free...and if make the psp cost less, this could possibly be there only real income...and sony will pull this kind of crap...

[FastBullet]

hey i have a queation about the online capabilites. can you use your cell phone to go online with the psp or the nintendo DS.

[Michael]

^nope...I just was wondering about what I already knew...

[FastBullet]

but couldnt use your nintendo ds or the psp to go online via your wireless signal of your cell phone to go online.

[Michael]

^They never added that feature...you'd need a number for one, then they'd have to charge, nintendo doesn't wanna do that...apparently sony doesn't either which is interesing...besides, it's not fast enough...

[FastBullet]

oh that is a good piont when i think about it

[Darkness_Essence]

When Sony announces something, they usually make it sound around 6-10 times bigger\better etc... Remember the PS2 being able to display 60 Billion Polygons on screen?!!

So, my take here is that the PSP will be an energy sucker, and would only last 1:30 to 2:30 hours maximum. And this is me being optimistic.

[SuperLuigiBros]

Games don't have to constently load of the disc where as movies do. That is the most energy consuming part and why games can last longer.

Music depends on your memory. Seriously there's nothing stoping you from buying a 6 gigabyte stick other than the price.

hmm. is it me or does anyone else think this guy is a retard?
reading a disc takes up no where near as much battery as using high quality graphics.
wat do u think is more demanding: reading a disc, or using a graphics card to render everything on screen at a high resolution. if u have a laptop, u can watch movies for ALOT longer than u can play games for.
christ man. wtf? u even think that the PSP is better than the DS. u are stupid

[koten]

hmm. is it me or does anyone else think this guy is a retard?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he is.

[Nights]

Well maybe if you looked at the facts and read the articles on the PSP you would know that I'm right.

Sounds retarted...maybe to the uninformed.

[FastBullet]

hey you guys calm down. we need to actually wait to tokyo game show or egn to here anything new about the Nintendo Ds or PsP. heck we just have to wait for both of them luanch. and please stop calling nights retarded he is just stating his opininions about psp. plus he is not really a nintendo hater.so please be alittle bit nicer.

[OutlawAdidas]

Fastbullet......n00b....shush!

Nights. no one is right in this situation. Not even you. Cuz the article says so doesn't mean its right. It magazines were always right, then as Gameinformer onece misprinted that Mario Kart DD was on the PS2, then it would be on the PS2

just debate. Fastbullet. You n00b

This Is You Noob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't get off that easy...you can't edit your way out of this..

[Sandman]

FastBullet, you need to learn your place. Half of your posts have absolutely nothing to do with the topic, but calling other people n00bs. Lay off, or you'll be banned pretty quickly. And everyone else needs to get off FastBullet's nuts for being a n00b. You have all been n00bs at one point in time.

Anyways, the primary reason that I have no interest in PSP is because of it's apparent lack of battery life. 3 hours certainly isn't enough, as I tend to go on gaming binges of like 5 hours with some games, and I don't want to have to stop halfway through, charge my PSP for a few hours, and then play again.

[FastBullet]

i fixed it.

[Michael]

I don't ride Fastbullet, it's everyone else...and no one has ever called me a n00b in the history of Nnow...

[FastBullet]

ok thanx for the comment kevin but im not a noobs im only a 13 year old teenager going on 14 in november29,

[Michael]

A n00b doesn't mean your age, it's basiclly how you conduct yourself on the forum. There is no age limit, but people are called n00bs for bumping, acting silly, or just for being new to this place...

[OutlawAdidas]

Ok n00b. Too n00by

Do you remember that one?

[FastBullet]

ok no one rides me ok im not gay you noobs

[Michael]

^Who called you gay?...did someone call you gay? or are you just saying that....?

[FastBullet]

no i saying im not gay becuase i dont let people ride me.

[Flaccid Acid]

Look fastbullet stop misusing the word Noob. It's not a insult to be just flung at anyone. You're a noob and any noob has to go through a perioid of hazing. It will take a while before your taken seriosouly so just sit straight and say "Yes sir may I have another".

[HaloFish]

I think the whole Noob insult is pretty used worn out and stupid.

[Flaccid Acid]

The word noob can never get old if it's used properly. If people like FastBullette insist on using it incorrectly then everyone will use it and it won't be cool. Watch the episode of South Park where everyone starts saying shit and you will get what I mean.

[FastBullet]

ok you guys im not a noob.

[FastBullet]

any of you guys going to pre-order your nintendo ds.

[Mr. Toto]

any of you guys going to pre-order your nintendo ds.
Does this have anything to do with the PSP's battery life? Nope.

I hope the PSP's batteries last for a while...If it's only around 5 hours, then I surely won't buy it. I usually use portables on long trips and such. If it ran out of batteries, I wouldn't have anything to do.

[FastBullet]

oh yea must of forgot what thread i was on.

[Flaccid Acid]

Ok fastbullet, please for damns sake learn to edit you're posts and STOP DOUBLE POSTING.

[FastBullet]

ok dude why you getting. you dont have to read my post.

[Serene Samus]

You double posted...n00b.


PSP battery life is one reason I wont be getting it anytime soon, if ever.

[FastBullet]

dude im not a noob.



and yeah they still havent gave any informationd on psp.

[Flaccid Acid]

Fat bullet for gods sake, admit it, you're a n00b ok. You double post, can't spell, make numerous gramatical mistakes in 99% of all your posts, you joined less then a month ago, you keep calling other members n00bs.
Fasbullet you are the biggest N00b, goddbye.

[FastBullet]

hey zeldabitch67 you dont have to come to my thread. matter of fact dont come at all.

[FastBulletDS]

well if its possible can someone get news on psp battery life.

[Flaccid Acid]

Stop Double Posting Your Stupid Newb!! Its Ruining All These Threads!!!!!!

[Serene Samus]

Only n00bs use alter egos

[koten]

Dear god. I can see why Zeldaman has the guy banging his had for an avitar...

^Who called you gay?...did someone call you gay? or are you just saying that....?

I find it ironic that you pointed out he was calling himself gay and that was the 69th post in this thread.

P.S. I dunno what happened... but somehow it ended up i double posted (i think a post was deleated between two of mine) so can someone delete that V post?

[koten]

Can someone delete this post? I didn't mean to double post. It was an accident

[Shotgun Plasma]

it okay fatbullet, just admit you're a noob and a bad grammar, because that what i did a long time ago and they all love and kiss my toes. you will be god like me.

[koten]

it okay fatbullet, just admit you're a noob and a bad grammar, because that what i did a long time ago and they all love and kiss my toes. you will be god like me.

:lol: fatbullet

[OutlawAdidas]

Fastbullet, trix are for kids, your trix are lame. Be mature and stop acting like a baby.

[SharpShooter586]

FastBullet does not have bad grammer. but he makes mistakes when he types to fast. and why you guys pick on the new guys. this place is turning out not to be a forum to be.

p.s fastbullet was just pionting out he is not gay.

[Viper]

Sharpshooter, stop re-registering while you are banned or we'll have to ban your IP.

Thank you.

[Michael]

I believe he will be back Viper...with a new name...

[GleefulFarewell]

Only n00bs use alter egos

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Shotgun Plasma]

wow, he thought the admins and mod can't read people's IP LOL!!!!!


seriously, fatbullet, just let it go.

[FastBullet]

Hello now pspas battery lie can last up to 6 hours with all the main features turned off.

WELL I recently heard that if you use multiplayer compatibilities. it takes away battery life and if you play high intense graphic games it will take away battery life. also they said i will last 2 hours if you have really big features turned on.

[Dwhitten]

Lol Don't spam.


Anyways i'm still looking forward to the PSP simply for awesome games. All the DS has is choppy N64 polished games. I wish OOT comes on the DS though :D


I'll still probably get the DS because on my income budget there's no way I could just throw 200 bucks or more on something electronic.

[OutlawAdidas]

But wait, all the PSP is though is PS2 games. The DS has new types of games

[shadowrunner]

I think we might have different defintions of casuals. I see a casual as a person who thinks they are a hardcore gamer and goes into gamestores and buys games based on boxarts, and is sure they will have fun.



i fi didnt do that i never would`ve played GTA3 or ONI.

as for batterry life, that sux for long trips but i`m guessing they are making it more for a japanese-ish market [like, being a japanese company and all]. japs would just want something to whip out on the train for an hour or so then stick it back in the charger [or whatever] when the get back home.if they release like a $10 add -on thingy like they have for mobile phonese to make it so you can use normal batteries then i`ll be content.

[Tael]

The battery life doesn't sound that great but 4-6 hours isn't that bad. The DS has better battery life but i guess most people would charge up another battery if they're on the road.

[Silent Strife]

...i guess most people would charge up another battery if they're on the road.

And pay an extra $50 for that battery.

[bamax]

4-6 hours for an handheld is bad. No meather rhow you look at it. Whats more annoying is the facts that Sony itself stated that game with great graphics/most of the games they show at e3 will spend more battrey life and it will be lower than 4 hours (ala Ridger Raiser). Thats why they went to the developers and tell them to lower the graphics quality
