Thanks, Terry. I don't think I'll have enough uninterupted time to play out more than the one battery on the plane ride there or back, so I can probably make do with the prong.

I think the two countries I'll be in have 240/50 and 220/50, so I should be good.

The PSP battery won't last for a 10 hour plane ride. It will die half-way through.

You'll be fine. 240V sometimes listed in place of 220V because +/- 10% deviation from the standard is considered safe. That is why some US electronics will list input as 110V and some as 120V.

i thought most of europe was reachable within 7 hrs?

subtracting the time during which you can't have portable electronics on anyway, i'd say that leaves around 6 hrs or less.

It's an 8 hour flight. With sleeping and dealing with skoorbaby I'll be counting my lucky stars if I can steal away even 2 hours for gaming :)

She flew a few times at five months, but she was still too young to realize what was going on. She's more...headstrong these days.
