PSVita Will Have External Battery Option

If you worried about your new portable's battery life......Sony has an answer.Yoshida-san,president of SCEO Worldwide,confirms an external battery.

"Sony's focus for TGS 2011 has undoubtedly been the upcoming launch of the PlayStation Vita. During its pre-show conference, the publisher revealed that the battery life for the new portable will last somewhere between 3 and 5 hours during normal gaming usage.

For some gamers, that amount of battery life is unacceptable. Fortunately Sony is preparing an answer. In our interview with SCEA Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida, we finally received confirmation that Sony is in fact developing an external battery for the Vita. "

1. Make handheld with horrible battery

2. Make battery unremovable

3. Sell first party external battery

Forget piracy. There's your answer right here

Oooo nice car trip option.

Personally if I was angry about the battery life and needed more I wouldn't want to carry around an external battery pack in order to play it. Unless I'm in a car or plane.

So will it be like that Rechargeable Dock thing that they have for the 3DS that you wear on your wrist or something?

hopefully the external Batt is designed well enough (an small enough) so it can sit perfectly behind the vita

Well, at least there's going to be a Extended Battery Option.

I'm happy with the current estimated battery life, but an external battery option is very welcome for those long car trips.
