If you’re planning on getting your game on with the PS Vita, I’d recommend doing so near an electrical outlet – Sony has confirmed that the device’s battery supports about 3-5 hours of gameplay before requiring an almost 3-hour recharge.
Apparently somebody in the tech department missed the bit about “mobility”.
