PSP Battery Journal

    PSP hit me again today. It says that its my fault that it gets so little battery life. If I would only learn to love it as it is. I just don't know.

    Today the PSP saw me linking up to play with some friends. It burnt my hands and threw a CD at me. It says that I don't need friends. I should just be with it.

    What have I done!? I couldn't take it anymore. I killed the PSP. I took it off teh wall jack, and played it till it passed out. Then I flushed it down the toilet... All I have to remember it by is the broken CD and a scar under my left eye.

    With wifi, the battery life is variable, but it usually lasts just long enough to get through a particularly difficult quest in a game, but not quite long enough to save the game afterward.

    Does anyone more familiar with this subject than me want to explain why there're so many Paintshop Pro articles on slashdot at the moment?

    I'm confident that Sony, the same company that gave us consoles whose optical drives break after 13 months use, would not make such a stupid mistake.
