yup also playing while charging it's ok, as long as you unplug the ac adapter when the battery is full. Mine hasn't been affected by doing this, my battery still lasts 4-5 hours after 3 years of pretty much daily use, in case you were wondering.

Nothing I really know of other then mess with settings meaning lowering them. Sold my psp off a hot minute ago so I don't remember how you would go about lowering what or doing what. If that don't work ask or call your local gamestore/radioshack and ask them but not now bcuz they gotta be pretty busy with turkey day/black friday sales. You could just play with it plugged in if its not an inconvience for you to do so bcuz of where the wall outlit is. If the wall outlit is the problem snatch a chair and place next to your wall outlit and game on.

Which is quite silly, if you ask me. With a portable game system, I expect to be able to take it around with me. Unfortunately, gaming technology is advancing faster than battery technology. If you really want a portable that you can actually take with you, I'd recommend going a few generations back and getting a GBA or a DS Lite. Although I must say, the 3DS and PSV are tempting. I just wish there was a better battery solution.

Oh no, I love portable gaming! I don't know I came off the other way. It's just that I hate it when battery life sucks. IMO, a portable should last more than a few hours.

Sure, I agree but I usually maneged to pull 5 hours with Persona 3 Portable before recharging, which was more than enough IMO because I got dizzy in the end ;o)

If you have a good battery, the PSP should last for a few hours of gaming...

And I don't mind that. Especially because you can get third party battery packs. But take a look at the next gen. 3DS and PSV supposedly have the same horrid battery life. Although, with the 3DS, you can add third party battery packs, which is fine. However, on the PSV, you cannot open it because of the rear touchpad. This means no more third party batteries. However, I'm a bit more hopeful of the battery life because Sony has held off on the release date of the PSV.

That's an odd solution. Portable game systems don't exactly run on AA's anymore. Not to mention, you can't do this with the Vita! The Vita is sealed shut and will not open to replace the battery!

Ahh ok, now I get it. We actually discussed this awhile ago and actually there will be an external 1st party battery option for the PSVITA.

ThePlayStation Vitaportable console recently titillated Japanese fans with anofficial release date, but now there's happy news of a type we can all enjoy. Sony's Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed to IGN that the company intends to introduce an external battery peripheral for the Vita, which should expand the device's three- to five-hour battery life into more comfortable territory. In his words, "if you're flying from New York to San Francisco or vice versa, you'll have no concerns." Those transcontinental flights typically take around six hours, but for us to have "no concerns," we'd expect the battery-augmented Vita to last for at least seven. It'll be interesting to see what this external power pack will look like — the rear of Sony's new console serves as a secondary touchpad, meaning that the extra battery won't simply attach to the back as one might otherwise expect.IGN

See I can't relate. I only have a DSL and it last no problem. I don't see the Vita being any different for me. I will take my charger cable with me everywhere I take my Vita. My other mobile system is my smartphone. I bought two 1930mAh batteries to fix that.
