Customer Rating: Summary: Can't Imagine PSP without it Comment: This Item is great for an emergency power off by you psp. I can't imagine how cramped my hands would be without this item. Using this the grip is just as comfortable as hold a playstation controller. PSP 3000 fits in nicley. The only complaint I have is that it is a little flimsy, but this does not in any way reduce the grips possitve attributes. Customer Rating: Summary: Great product! Comment: I know it seems tacky, but I'm really liking this product. Essentially its a handle that you clip your psp into, but the handle has a battery in it that gives you an extra 10 hours of play time.
The way it works is that you plug your psp power cable directly into the handle. You can charge the handle without having to attach the psp. Then when you clip the psp in, there's a little cable that hangs out of the handle that you plug into your psp.
Now, I've never thought that the psp was particularly uncomfortable, but I must admit that it's alot more comfortable with the handles. They really are an improvement.
In terms of portability, its a trade-off. Of course the handles make it less portable, 'cause they're bigger and bulkier (the handles collapse inward, slightly decreasing their size, but there's only so much collapsing they can do.). On the other hand, the extra 10 hours of battery life is a huge portability improvement.
I carry around my psp in one of those little cases that holds the psp and some games, and I'll probably still carry that around the same way. But if I'm going somewhere all day, I'll probably throw the grips into my backpack, so I can whip 'em out when I need extended battery life.
Anyway, this handle only works on the psp 2000. Here's one that works on the original psp, though it only offers 6 hours of extra battery life (probably 'cause the old psp is less battery efficient than the new ones).
The only concern that I have is that the top arms stick out from the frame a bit, to hug the top of the psp, and they look like they could snap off if you're not careful with them. They're relatively sturdy though, especially when the psp is clipped in, so its not that much of a worry.
Anyways, I'm really enjoying my battery grips, and I'd recommend them if you ever find yourself running out of battery on your psp. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Buy!!! Comment: Great product as described. Fast Shipping. Recommend this for everyone in need of an easy handling of the psp with longer power source too. A+++ Customer Rating: Summary: Worth the money for sure Comment: Really like this thing. My slim locks in nice and I haven't noticed too much moving around...not enough to bother me. Battery life is excellent.
Good holiday gift. Customer Rating: Summary: This grip REALLY does help you out Comment: I've gone through two of these now- I keep breaking them! You have to be VERY careful of the 'arms' on the top on bottom- ESPECIALLY the ones on the bottom! If you remove it without taking special care, you WILL break the arms off- especially if you're trying to stuff the fat PSP in there. It DOES fit, but you have to be more careful with it.
I guarantee you that you will LOVE this grip- I tried to play the PSP without it just for kicks and it's TOTALLY impossible after using this. I'm buying another one to have another backup- guess I should get the slim PSP now so I can stop breaking it, eh?
Truly though- don't hesitate to buy this because it's a third party- it's really great! :)
