PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced

Also, the battery life is quoted as being 4 to 6 hours. Not exactly what I'd call fantastic, but at this price, looks like Nintendo is in for some serious competition. Free your doubts about software too, as Sony has announced 21 titles will be released in December as well. Here's the official Japanese PDF press release regarding the PSP's release."

What are developers going to do ? Randomly decrease the screen brightness or turn off the screen for a couple seconds at a time ?

I hear the Doom3 port will be able to run for 12 hours on this thing... : p
