PSP’s got a Rechargable Handle Pad

[wraggster]

Maybe you’re still a little depressed about Sony getting barred from selling PS2s because their dual-shock controllers infringe on patents, or maybe you’re just about making that slick little PSP a slight bit more ghettofab—we’re not asking why about the “Rechargable Handle Pad”, we’re just glad Dragonplus (whoever they are) at least had the good nature to use that extra space to stack on another 4-5 hours of battery life for doing your thang.

The cable looks a bit untidy but I still wouldnt mind it.

I agree about the cable, that eliment of the design could have been thought of a little better.

Personally, I think it's a nice idea, but one that's more of a novelty. I can't imagine carrying my PSP in my handbag with handle pad clicked on to it. I would prefer to spend the cash on an extra battery instead! Although the Handle Pad has the advantage of not having to power off the PSP to add the extra power source, but to be honest, I don't presently have any problems with the battery life on my PSP, I'm usually near some form of power source to keep it charged when I'm not playing it!

my battery life is proving fine. i take it to work play on it in my breaks and often listen to music off it while working, come home and play on it some more! battery only ran out on me once when i forgot to recharge it on a night before work (and i only forgot cause it wasn't flat. and i still got 1/2 a days use out of it.

Vimes - are you still enjoying your PSP??

No doubt there will be a lot of battery options out in the future as the PSP gets more established.

Clare - get a bigger handbag
