Hi guys i was just wandering, is it just me or when you dont play your PSP for around 3 weeks or longer does the battery just wear out even if it was fully charged?

Happens on every piece of electrical items I own. My DS does it.

All batteries discharge with time.

The PSP however is never fully 'off'. There is always a small amount of power being used to hold the PSP in it's suspended state.

My DS still had a fully charged battery when I used it for the first time in 2 months the other day.

when you turn your psp off, hold the power switch up for about 10 seconds to fully turn it off. If you just flick it up quickly, it goes into standby mode and still drains the battery.

What's the point in standby mode?

Pretty much instant start up. It saves the game you were playing and you can turn on and pick up exactly where you left off in a few seconds.

I would like to point out the awesome DS has this feature. Just close it and it puts the game in a "suspended animation" state. Basically the DS freezes the game. When you open it the DS quickly heats up and the game comes back to life.

The DS is better than the PSP...

HAHA Flame war GO!

The PSP does exactly the same thing. PSP has a better screen, better games, better controls. Ok so I lied on the last two

Aww why did you go and ruin it. I know the PSP has the same thing. As pointed out by BumSalsa in post 10. My post was just saying the DS has this. I was trying to be funny. One person found it funny. Then you go get all factual on my ass. lol
