Just a few questions supes.


1) Have you had a chance to check the battery life of the gamepad yet?

2) Is it awkward to use if plugged directly into the mains?

3) How long is the mains to gamepad cable, roughly?

Thanks.

~4hrs with brightness at default (med-high) and speakers/rumble on.

I put its AC plug and charging cradle right next to my couches. The cord easily reaches (~5ft) and only have to play for another couple hours to have it fully charged again as it charges while being plugged in. Having it plugged didn't affect mine or anyone else in my house yesterday. We literally had it on from 1am to 5am then 7am to 1am next day.

Are you using a Ipod to record Cung? I wish you did it sideways, so the video doesn't look like it's tryig to slim down.
Nice heads up by the way! ;)


Yeah sorry about that..  It was the only video recorder i had.

advice on that... hold it sidways not upright. You'll get a better video.



anybody else having trouble removing charger from Gpad



Just saw your earlier vid and it seems you started recording before it even finish recalibrating itself, happens alot with me when I whip out mine and record in post haste! There was one (more than once actually) time my play-back came out upside down, even though it looked okay at the time of filming! XD

It does have a tight fit on both the gamepad and its cradle. You will want to hold it at the actual connector not the cord.
