PSP-3000 Battery Life Confirmed

Sony’s Director of Hardware Marketing, John Koller, has recently announced a statement that the rumored decreased PSP-3000 battery life
is not true and you don't have to worry about losing any play time. The
new PSP will not sacrifice battery life for the brighter screen. John
Koller:


Hi,
everyone, there have been reports about the battery life of the new PSP
system (PSP-3000) being shorter than the current model (PSP-2000),
following an interview we recently did with Gamespot. I’d like to make
a correction and clarify that the new PSP will have equivalent battery
life to the current PSP, about 4 to 6 hours for games and about 4 to 5
hours for UMD videos. While the enhanced screen of the new PSP draws a
little more power, our engineers in Japan worked to reduce the power
consumption of the overall system including its components, so you
won’t have to worry about losing any time when enjoying the more
vibrant visuals displayed with the new PSP.

We hope this clears everything up, and we’re certainly excited about
letting you all get your hands on the new PSP and checking out the
enhanced screen when it hits retail next month.
