When I was in Florida last month I brought an Nyko 'aluminium' looking hard case, that also had a 5 hour battery built in, brought it from a console shop, plenty of places had them.

You plug your PSP into the case, plug your PSP mains adaptor into the case, first the case charges, then the PSP. Boosts battery time to 9 hours roughly.

I think it was about $40, and I watched Black Hawk Down and played Tony Hawkes and NFSU for a couple of hours and it still had plenty of charge.

Also tough as old boots, keeps the PSP nice and safe, great bit of kit.

PS, the PSP adaptor is free voltage, so you just need a two pin converter to charge it over there.

Hmmm Interesting reading on how to DL games and films onto your PSP

www.pspcrazy.com/psptutorials.htm

atm if you want to use a lot of these functions dont install the 1.5 to 2.0 update which is on the demo disc! as most of these functions only work on version 1.0 and 1.5 software.

Happy playing
