A price has yet to be listed, but expect the battery kit to retail in the $40 range.

Thanks, but one thing, many people may throw away their fat batter (1800 mAh), for buy a new one need more than $20.
So i like to share what i found.
I have saw a new type of psp 2000 cover for the fat battery (1800 mAh) somewhere,
The cover for PSP 2000 thick battery is designed and developed for PSP 2000 console and can be compatible with PSP 1800mAh battery, which can effectively extend PSP 2000 console using time and is convenient for the players who could not buy new batteries. After inserted PSP battery into PSP 2000 covering the battery cover, can effectively prevent the battery off, Simple but practical.

Sold my PSP last week, dont miss it either. Its ($$$)going in my PS3 Uncharted, UT3, Tekken6 fund. Then I will have all "next-gen" which are now current-gen systems and be able to give a proper evaluation to all my comments =)
Just wish PS3 games would have achievements lolz!!

i've already unlocked everything, including the cheats. would you like my save file? ;)
it was quiet challenging, but satisfying. i just wished they included invincibility as one of the cheats you can unlock.

sometimes the psp feels obsolete.
i have the older model with custom firmware, so i can play ps1 games and use cheats on psp and ps1 games.
the psp games are fine - pick up jean d'arc and silent hill.
but i got it mainly to play ps1 games like ff7, and snes games like final fantasy 3 and 2, chrono trigger, secret of mana, etc.
but as someone has mentioned, once the nostalgia effect wears off - it only takes a few minutes or a few in game frustration - then you forget about the psp, and just play with the consoles.
i bring my psp everywhere, so whenever i have to wait, like when my car is getting serviced, or at a waiting room for the dentist or doctor, i intend to play it. notice i used the word intend. during these moments, i just end up napping, because i was usually up late the night before playing with the consoles.
so if you're like me and get sleepy whenever you try to play it OUTSIDE your home, i would recommend it, because sometimes it's difficult to take a nap while your waiting.

So an additional 80% brings it to, what... 2 and a half hours?
I kid, I kid. It's a great idea, but none too pleasing to look at.

Seriously guys, the psp-2000's battery life is about 4-5 hours for games. An 80% increase would bring that up to
7-9 hours. Not bad at all...

Wish they would release the covers by themselves. I snagged a couple of the extended life batteries a while ago on clearance ($12 a piece). Guess there's always the outside chance of just covers being sold in Japan.

Hey Noshino, guess what? He most probably doesn't go on those other fanboy sites, and therefore all he knows is that the x3f one changed. Does it matter that they're all the same?? No, it's irrelevant because all he's saying is that he likes the new comment system on the "fanboy" sites better than the one here.
Now with that said, I dont see a difference, they're essentially the same with a different look.

As usual, no PSP news can go without some slight by Joystiq and the resulting foaming haters.
My PSP gets more game time than any of my consoles except maybe my 360 (because, well, you know, H3, Bioshock, Catan, etc). My original 3 year old imported PSP-1000 gets 5-6 hours gameplay with the original 1800mAh battery and 7+ with the 2200mAh. My new PSP-2000 gets at least 4-5 hours, though I haven't checked it.
As usual, myths of the PSP battery life and lack of good games is perpetrated by those who neither have one nor have any intention of owning one. In short, FUD.
