Using middle brightness I get between four and five hours of playtime with 3DS games and seven to eight hours with DS games out of a single charge. That's not triple, Zapp.


Well I use maximum brightness and turn the Wi-Fi on when I play 3DS games and the battery dies in 17 minutes.  I turned the backlighting off (which results in a totally black screen) and played Super Mario 64 for 8 days straight.  Okay.  I lied.  But on average, I get somewhere around three hours worth of play on a normal 3DS game and around (like you said) 8 hours on a DS game.......I think.  I've actually never had the 3DS die on me.  I saw the light turn red once, indicating that it was time for a charge.  I plugged it in.  I tend to play with the system plugged in or charge it whenever I'm not playing.  I got the "triple time" info from a faq I read at work, yesterday.  I was trying to figuer out how to change the game resolution.

On an unrelated note:  Gimme your friend code, Rol.  I'm collecting friends right now!  Mine is 3823-8631-8090
