It sounds like you get 8 hours at max brightness wifi if you go without 3D.

Yeah it does. It's really confusing, though. As long as I can get more than 5 hours with 3D turned on but Wifi off and medium brightness I'm happy You don't need wifi on the go and turning down brightness shouldn't be a problem.

But after all those comments by Nintendo ("charge it more frequently") and the not-so-announcement of a price for Europe I was afraid things would turn out badly. But now we've got improved online, a somewhat reasonable price and better than expected battery life. Yay

yea i have never once had my ds on high bightness, usually one below it, maybe 2.

but if with lower brightness and wifi off it sounds like you can add quite substantial time to your gaming.
