PSP-3000 Battery Life Decreased By 20-30 Minutes

That is not bad at all, and it is also good to hear that they will bring back the extended battery.

And i wanted to buy a psp-3000 screen and place it in my psp slim. (if it's possible)

Excellent! So if the Stamina battery will still work on the PSP Brite, I wonder if Pandora might someday work. It would need a new and improved magic memory stick I gather and not sure if that would be possible to create.

Also unfortunate that the Slims are going out of production. So Sony, should we expect to have to buy a new PSP EVERY YEAR? When the PSP Brite is released, it will be about exactly 1 year since the Slim has been available.

I hope to encourage everyone in the PSP scene to donate a little bit to a developer of their choice on October 14th. I hope this new PSP causes a strong new interest in making the PSP homebrew scene even better.

Its not as though they'll force you to have the screen on maximum brightness all the time.
Set it to a low level that's equivalent to a current one and it shouldn't draw more power (unless the back light is less efficient as well as having brighter settings somehow). The faster response time shouldn't make much of a difference, transitioning the pixels takes a lot less power than the back light in a display.

I guess a really bright display is normally easier to look at outdoors in the sun.
Do many people here ever play using the 4th brightness level on a fat PSP (the one that was originally only available when running from mains power)?


I bought a DS lite because the dull fat display really bothered me, but I have the lite on the 2nd lowest brightness setting.
You have the option to go mega bright and kill battery life, you don't have to use it (the higher levels even hurt my eyes in low ambient lighting).

will suck big balls for those who can't afford a 50 dollars extended battery lol

Battery life is important on handheld, and I always run my phat on 333 mhz. I think I will will buy a Slim/Lite instead when the price drops just to get TV-out.
