John Koller recently made a post on the Official PlayStation Blog to clarify earlier statements made about the battery life of the PSP. Apparently, earlier reports of the PSP 3000's battery life were wrong, as Koller assures us that the PSP 3000 will have the same battery life as the PSP 2000.

Here's the important part of his post for you:

I’d like to make a correction and clarify that the new PSP will have equivalent battery life to the current PSP, about 4 to 6 hours for games and about 4 to 5 hours for UMD videos. While the enhanced screen of the new PSP draws a little more power, our engineers in Japan worked to reduce the power consumption of the overall system including its components, so you won’t have to worry about losing any time when enjoying the more vibrant visuals displayed with the new PSP.

That's certainly some good news to note. Hopefully, Sony will have more information on this new handheld as it draws closer to release. In the meantime, keep checking QJ for updates.
