So it's about the same battery life as the Nintendo 3DS, great.

Thats basically the same charge time as my Ipod touch and so much game time on it too.

I have my Laptop on me all the time at school so I can just play it while its charging. I don't have to worry about it dying on me when I get the Vita.

Which is when exactly?

Great...another crappy battery life...Now, let's hope the charger makes up for it. It better be a simple wire...

I think it should be common sense to expect less-than-satisfactory battery life in handhelds, as much as we hate to think about it. Although, considering how a PS3 in your pocket was already anticipated to require alot of juice, anyway, 3 to 5 hours may not be bad.

That's true. The battery does seem pretty good when you take the specifications into account.

Since when is 3-5 hours a crappy batt life? It's the exact same as the PSP except it offers way more. If anyone is expecting 8-10 hours, they're looking in the wrong place. Even laptops don't offer that long a batt life, the average is about 5 hours.

Well, I don't expect 8-10. I was hoping to have at least 6, maybe pushing 7. And since it is a new gen, I was hoping better. I don't have a PSP, so I can't say about that, but I'd like to think that we can improve on many aspects. Not just keep the same.

I know Colin, the Vita is gonna change the way we play portable games. When the Vita releases its not gonna revolutionize battery life as we know it but the games.

If you want 6-10 hours of gameplay then buy two vitas(3-5 hours x 2=6-10 hours). Thats 6-10 hours right there...oh you wanted that one devices you should have been a little bit more detailed then.
