A 5 to 10 hour battery life is better than nothing. Assuming that's what we'll get, then I'm fine with it.

Plus thats way better than the 3-5 the 3DS is saying.

[Qalbert]

according to slowtaku the "target" battery life is that of the psp 3000

Did the PSP3000 have the "bigger" battery by default, or was that just the special MH model?

[Qalbert]

idk off the top of my head, I stuck with the original model for easier modding, then upgraded the battery and used the old one as a pandora

[Skidz]

Right, no mention of battery. Although the image of the XMB (guess they'll need a new name, actually) has a battery icon with a generic "1:23". If you want to talk to some trolls they'll be happy to tell you that's the "full" battery life.

Spoiler: show

In minutes.

wat... i don't even......... thats just the time dude.

My 3K has the same sized battery as the PSP2000. Granted, what must save a lot of battery life on the PSP2 is the lack of UMD drive.

Hence why 'trolls' was mentioned.

Anyhow, fantastic news to wake up to. Was there any actual gameplay video shown, or just the XMB and that MGS cs?

Much better. The videos I was seeing was pretty botched quality, at least that's a bit better. Thanks

[Skidz]

oh wow, wipeout looked amazing

[Devolver]

FUCK FUCK FUCK

$999.99

Edit; I'm aware this is just guessing by their part, but...usually they have some sort of ballpark figure to go by.

[Qalbert]

i can only assume you are kidding

[Qalbert]

and/or have never heard of a placeholder

Lol, not sure if serious.

[Kiarax]

You are as (or maybe more!) qualified to make an estimation on the price than whoever put that up is.

[Devolver]

Bleh, just sticker shock on my part.

[Katlan]

I havent been following the PSP2 at all, but I'm instantly excited... though expecting a 400-500$ price point for a portable PS3

I can see it pushing 600, given the 'Cadillac' phone models/prices you can buy. I just don't know if I can drop that much on a day-1 purchase. But god damn this thing is sweet.

[Kiarax]

As excited as I am for this, I'm definitely waiting for something good to come out for it. Out of the stuff mentioned so far, nothing particularly interests me aside from Wipeout, and unfortunately that's just not a system seller. Same reason I'll be waiting on the 3DS, I'm not interested in some ports, and the launch window only has 1 or 2 original games that interest me. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably play said ports when I inevitably get the system, but they're nothing to push me to an early purchase. Hopefully by then the price will have dropped or some sort of custom firmware will have developed. Also lets them iron out any problems in initial batches should there be any.
