Hard Performance Test: 3 hours 32 minutes
Heavy UMD Gameplay Loading: 5 hours 9 minutes
Sleep Mode: Over 24 hours
WiFi Multiplayer: 2 hours 46 minutes
MP3 Playback: 10 hours 39 minutes

That's pretty pitiful. :?

I think I'll stick with DS.

Same, the only good ones are sleep mode (eh?) and the MP3 Play back (I can get better with my CDplayer).

When are you going to need to do more than five hours of heavy gameplay, away from an adapter? ;)

The "sleep mode" most likely means that the system is turned off (but still retaining a bit of power to preserve memory).

Hmmm, on a plane maybe, or on a train *shuddertwitch*.

I thought that was what the "save" option was for :wink: .

You forget though. They only told half-truths about the battery life before. They could be doing it again.


5 hours isn't too great. That's probably the max too. DS has like 10 hours max. That's a lot longer.

Stick with the DS. Battery-life is a problem with the PSP and all the launch titles are trash.

I'll second you on that. PSP is a bad system with bad games (in my opinion).

Launch titles are trash? As I have heard Tales has gone back to sony with its remake of Tales of Destiny 2 (Tales of Eternia for you « new farmers »). and the Metal Gear Acid, along with Need for Speed Underground. Hmm All hit series I guess in your opinion are trash...

Metal Gear Acid has to be the dummest idea I have ever heard of. Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game. Not a card game.

Us true Metal Gear fans will get it and love it. All the card system does is down the game down to make it more managable by players on a lesser scale than that of Big Boss (A.K.A. The best metal gear players).

I think the Metal Gear Solid games are not so bad. I just didn't think a card game would suit me personally.

Well Try Baten Kaitos and it's card based battle system will blow you away.

Baten is an RPG, not an Army Game. Besides, Baten is going on the DS.

Yes, and I'll stand by it. I'm not a Tales fan. I'm a Fire Emblem fan. Sure I'd like to play other Tales games, but so? One game. I don't really care though. I've seen some screenshots. Meh, not too great. Besides, what about ND3? I get to use those characters, not that they look really appealing though(except maybe the swordsman, but he looks like that skanky man from Star Ocean 3 in a way).

Need for Speed? Meh. It's overrated. A racing game where you just rate. Nothing much.

Metal Gear Solid fans will rebel against that. It's a perversion.
