Same here, they work perfectly.[addsig]

Well I have done at least 25 races and playing around checking options and settings and watched the demo disc twice on and off over the last couple days and I still have 2 bars on my meter....


You see kiddies you must watch you who listen to on the web as there are alot of wannabe impotant dillrods out there as that was all I heard how bad the battery life is going to be yada yada yada ...well kids I am calling B.S. !!!

Still not worth $60 but I am happy with it so far and to the one poster I do have the car charger but a spare battery would be a nice option..[addsig]

I would get the charger case, it charges it 3 times, and protects it. But I got the $15 one from gmaestop.[addsig]

how do you get the most gameplay time out of ridgeracers: setings for volume, brightness etc.[addsig]

I Got mine and played when i got it before charging and people are telling me the battery life is worse if you do this mine only lasts like 3 houres what can i do to fix this[addsig]

That could have been a big mistake. You should always fully charge the batteries prior to using a rechargable device. But you know that now. To fix it full discharge the system, then recharge it fully. This might work, but there is no way to tell for sure until you try. Best of luck and I hope that it works. If not then try to take the unit back.[addsig]

I use my PSP on wednesday and thursday to listen to mp3's while working and find with some break taken in between usage, I was able to use it through all 9 hours of my shift. granted it wasn't continuous all 9 hours, but I never have a chance to sit down 9 hours continuously. And it still had 3 bars and 2'30" left on the battery. Very nice indeed! Maybe the people with bad battery life are forgetting to turn on the screen saving measures. Letting the screen sleep while playing mp3's helps battery life immensly.[addsig]

I think that you are supposed to push it to hold if you're playing music only. I have been able to use my PSP to listen to some tunes for 2 days without the need to recharge it so far. It's been doing pretty good! At least it has exceeded my expectations for it.[addsig]
