Well.. it resets the operating system. Kinda like resetting your home pc to clear the memory.. <I'm making all this up as I go along..>. Preventing squirrels and nymphs from eating all your berries... Uh..ya.. so.. really hope that explains it. If not Pm YoYoPete..he knows EVERYTHING. Peace

I think I noticed that if I put it in sleep mode, the battery goes flat over a period of a couple of weeks. If I turn it fully off, then the battery doesn't go flat. I almost always turn it right off. I'm open to correction if my observation is wrong.

one question : is it safe to constantly plugged the psp into the ac adaptor, even it already full recharged.. i do this many times when playing online, you know how the wifi drains out the psp battery..

I am pretty sure it is fine. I think I saw that the PSP will stop charging when it is full. Mine is plugged in almost always and I have not seen any ill effects.

Well I usually put it on standby during play as I often run off to do things. Always power down when I'm done.
