My girlfriend just bought me the new slim PSP Daxter pack as a gift. I have 360, PS3 and Wii but am new to handhelds. We are going to going on trip in October and I will be on a plane and at airports for about 10 hours each way. How long does a battery typically last either playing games or watching movies on a PSP? I am trying to figure out if I should buy and charge an extra battery. I don't plan on trying to play it for 10 hours but would hate to be on a plane or in an airport and have the thing die. Thanks in advance.

it kinda depends what game/movie, anywhere from 5-10 hours on a full charge, plus you can go to home then go to system settings-battery info, itll tell you around how much more minutes you have (im not completely sure about slim psp though.)

5hrs for game more or less

5 to 7hrs for music on the memory stick

5hrs for movies give or take umd movies drain the battery faster.

just keep the AC cord and charger handy there are usually outlet you can use in the airport

Like B-bad said just keep the AC adapter nearby. The system does tend to drain the battery quick. If you're curious on how much battery juice is left, you can alwayscheck on the PSP menu, under Settings -> System Settings -> Battery Information.

As far as i know the PSP slim battery lasts about 5 - 8 Hrs gameplay. ( thats all i know for sure, i've only played games on it. )
I'd imagine UMD movies, and music would last roughly the same. I'd bring an AC adapter with you, an extra battery wouldn't hurt.

Yeah I would take both batterys charged and ready, before you get another battery though just check with the airline, I went on a flight to Scotland about 3 weeks ago and they wouldn't let me use my PSP on the flight, not even for music.
