It should charge even if you are playing with it as long as it's plugged in. Sounds like you have a defective battery. If it is completely charged it should still display something like the following:
Charge Level: 100%
Hours Left: -
Power Source: External
Battery Status: Charge Complete
Leave the PSP on, and unplug it. You should get the following:
Charge Level: 100%
Hours Left: 8:29'
Power Source: battery
Battery Status: In Use
If your PSP goes dead as soon as it gets unplugged, then the battery is bad. I suggest exchanging it for another unit if that's possible. If not, then it's time to get a new battery.
