John Koller has recently revealed in a
video interview with GameSpot that the new PSP 3000 will have a decreased battery life by 20-30 minutes due to the power required for the brighter screen. In good news, a PSP extended battery life pack will be available to purchase during this holiday season which will extend the play time to 8-10 hours.
In other news, it has been confirmed that the PSP Slim will cease production by September. If you're into collecting each version of a console, be sure to pick up a slim unit before it's pulled off the shelf.
