PSP Extended Life Battery Packs Coming Soon

While the PSP 2200mAh battery is not hot, mind-blowing news, what is entirely new about it is the the bundle. The PSP Extended Extended Life Battery Kit contains a battery with 80% more life on the slim models and 20% on the original models. Two different plastic battery covers will be available for both the PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models, but there are two things you should know about these new covers.

First off, owners of the slimmer PSP will experience a bulge due to the larger sized battery, and secondly, owners of the ‘Star Wars Ceramic White’ systems are out of luck. Sorry, Star Wars fans - if you want a newer battery you will just have to look like a patch work quilt. Hey, blame Sony, not me. However, the good news about all of this, is that when showing off your PSP to the fairer sex, guys can now say “Hey baby, check out my bulge” without the possibility of getting slapped. Well…maybe.

The peripheral will be released sometime in mid-December and will retail for around $50.
