I use the iGo PSP adaptor with mine regularly, and it works just fine. Generally speaking, you don't want to give a device more voltage than it calls for, or you risk letting out the magic smoke.

In this case, the reason we know that the PSP charger is okay to use, is that the Sony folks themselves use them.
