Koller: PSP-3000 Battery Life Decreased By 20-30 Minutes

Speaking in a recent interview, Sony Computer Entertainment America product marketing manager John Koller revealed that the battery life of the PSP-3000 will be decreased by 20-30 minutes, due to the larger power draw of the brighter screen.

Battery life will decrease by a small amount, it’s about 20 minutes maybe 30 minutes and that’s because there’s a larger power draw with the brighter screen.

Good news is, despite previous reports to the contrary, the PSP extended battery life pack is not being discontinued and will be available to consumers this holiday season, offering 8-10 hours of play time.

the screen being brighter is great.

Sony, i don't really mind about losing thirty minutes.

I would sacrifice 30 minutes of battery JUST for the brightness.

plus, i can always use my PSP Phat Battery to make the PSP-3000 more efficient.

but one thing that stops me from buying the PSP-3000 is the price+ the fact that it is Pandora-Proof.

I think this PSP might be either a TA-089, or TA-090, or just a TA-088 V4 motherboard too, because i think TA-088 V3 can't support new hardware and new hardware modules. ( new LCD screen+microphone+new CPU,etc.)

Thats all i have to say so far.
