I just wanted to talk about the cradle for a sec.  I understand it is for charging but I really don't see the damn point in it.  I have never used it and I usually just charge while I play.  Maybe someday I might use the cradle.

I really like the cradle. It's ideal if you make multiple short gaming sessions (Playing during TV adverts for instance.) After every session you can put the 3DS in the cradle, so it can reload. Also it feels "tidier" to use the cradle.

Yet you probably leave the charger plugged into the wall since it is hooked up to the cradle for convenience thus wasting electricity.    I'm not trying to argue just throwing out a possible negative.  However, you could upgrade to those green multi outlet adapters that you can program to turn off during certain times or one flip of a switch that turns off all electronic equipment.  I don't have much room to speak about not wasting electricity...
