for lithium ion or lithium polymer, theres no need to do like that
the same for handphones, unless u re using those 90s motorola...

agreed.. it just the shop seller who know nothing about battery technology.. haha.
they think like we're using some 80's battery.. LOL.

dunno bout PSP battery, but for laptop battery, there's a board like a motherboard the the battery to cut off power if the battery is fully charged.

I think the battery for the PSP also has a cut off. Coz when u charge using the PSP, notice it will switch off automatically after u done charging (from red led to none).
Cut off are circuit controlled right? And if i'm not mistaken, there is a circuit board in the battery right?
Anyone has an extra battery to be cut in half?

yup.. i noticed that.. just dunno wether it is on the battery itself or in the psp. so it's like wasting to charge for 8 hours.

Okay, so it is okay if we charge it while it still has some juice left in it? Or not recommended as old ions are not replaced or something?

ehehe... no need to explain again n again..

Bought one of those PSP Slim the other day. The only complain I have is that the surface is too smooth!!! Its hard to get a firm grip on this babe.

hi just wanna ask about psp slim. can we still play homebrew games using psp slim fw 3.60 m33? like gba games, sega genesis, etc. thanks!

yss.

I read on the S-cable video out for PSP slim and it said that the output to TV cant use when in game mode. Only for movies, photos and music only.
I think better stick to fat one.

Wondering is it possible to adjust the contrast or brightness of the screen ? Maybe like lower the brightness to save some juice ? If yes, how ? I can't find any

to lower the brightness, press the [] button next to the music note(bottom of the screen)

when it output on TV, will it be fullscreen?
must have progressive support ah, my TV dont have...

What's progressive support ?

Japanese advertisement for PSP Slim got show that it can play game on TV
Link : here.

from the video, it doesn't show that Slimmy can output with fullscreen, now I wonder will that be any pixelation and aliasing if output it on HDTV?

progressive support. ok.. technically speaking.. there are two ways of TV displaying output to the screen.. for example 480i and 480p. "I" is interlace.. means there are TV will draw the image on the screen one horizontal line by one horizontal line.. there are many lines that combined together to make an image."P" is progressive, this one TV will draw the all the lines in one shot. no more one by one line.
but basically u cant even noticed it since tv has a frame rate such as 24 frame per second.. it means it will draw 24 image in one second. ehehe..

hehe.. that one is technically speaking.. but to know wether ur tv support progressive or not, just read the manual or maybe try to set your dvd player to output progressive mode. if your tv is blank.. then your tv does not support progressive.

huhu... just like divx movies playing in full screen on your high res monitor..

ok I answer myself
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h38idWH8zR4

it will have fullscreen in XMB and video mode
but it will limited to 480×272 in game mode, which will be just slightly bigger than the PSP screen itself on a 22" WS monitor, and almost 1/3 of the 32" LCD TV at 720p, while it will be even smaller if its on 1080p TV
