While searching for a battery kit in the web for a PSP, I came across the genuine Sony PSP extended 2200mAh battery for $30 which comes with both extended black/silver battery covers due to the bigger size. This battery/kit was discontinued by Sony in August 2008. Play-Asia.com sells the imported Japanese version for $60 USD but with much more variety of colors in battery covers. Future Shop and Best Buy now only sell the standard slim 1200mAh for $40. Personally, the extra juice is worth the bulging, although any hard cases will likely no longer fit while soft ones should be fine. The 2200mAh claims game play of 8-11 hours vs 1200mAh claims 5-6 hours. There were about 6-8 left hanging on the rack literally collecting dust. Most were clearly unopened but 1-2 looked like the box was chewed up by someone’s dog. I had been hunting around a few months ago but gave up, so I’m glad I stumbled across it.

The standard in gaming processors, at least as far as Intel goes, is the Intel Core 2 Duo and Quad Core, which offer pretty exceptional computing performance at a relatively low price. Still, as you probably are aware, no computing technology lasts forever and there is always something better coming in the pipeline. According to most people, the next generation of Intel chips is not only good, but exceptional. This next-generation chip by Intel is called the Core i7 and according to recent testing and research, it will dramatically change the way you experience gaming and computing.
