Arguably when talking about the PSP, the most glaring flaw is its weak battery life, which can drop below two hours when playing certain power-intensive games. It’s also been the one flaw most often ridiculed by Nintendo, whose DS unit boasts an average 10 hours of battery life, while the Big N’s other native handheld, the GBA, often tops out at around 20 hours. In the past months, many have speculated that the PSP will receive a battery upgrade before its North American and European releases to address these concerns. Well, PSP hopefuls need speculate no longer. Sony has made a Japanese announcement indicating that the PSP will receive an improved lithium ion battery within the next year, boasting a 30% increase in battery life. [Sony]
