I have had some small EE training in my education, and I'm aware that a specified voltage has a tolerance, which usually works out to +/- 10%. Granted, the two voltages above are well within that particular tolerance of each other, but I'm still wondering WHY the Reader is specified for 5.2V as opposed to the bog-standard 5.0V. I seriously doubt Sony did it just for the sake of being able to sell another adapter.

Any thoughts?
SonyStyle is selling the PSP505 adapter as an "accessory" to the 600. They do not have a different adaptor for the 600.
