For some reason, my PSP likes to turn itself off when I'm playing a game. It's been happening a lot lately when I got KH-Birth by Sleep. It's really annoying because it cuts off during a game before I could save a game. Why does this happen?

Probably. My brother's PSP has been doing this ever since he replaced the battery with a fake one.

Umm, that's the only thing that a battery called "fake" can be.

EDIT: Unless it doesn't look like a Sony, but that's just a minor technicality. :P

This has happened to a lot of people I know over the last 4 years or so. It's usually the battery being lose. You can either tape the battery area or get a new PSP (3000). The v1000 PSPs do this much more frequently.

My friend's 3000 model would do that too. It suddenly stopped after a while. Why don't you try playing with the AC adapter and without the battery so you can see if it's the PSP itself.
