^^^some of us will choose the former

Just wait a few weeks, untill the chinese make a bigger battery and flood eBay.



 

Sucky battery life is still sucky. With or without an explanation.

What made you think I mean high end users, and not the company making the handheld for the mainstream?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Is there a chinese DS Lite battery that lasts longer than the official Nintendo one?

@lordtheknight  hey man, YOU was the one that said always



battery life is a moot point as far as im concerned as long as it lasts several hours, which it does.  if you're where you are forced to play over 3-5 hours without being able to plug the unit into a wall or a car charger while you're playing, then you've fallen off the face of the earth and there is no hope for you.

the unit has great graphics, backlighting, 3d screen, wi-fi in sleep mode, is portable...and still works without plugging it in for 3-5 hours?  sounds like a sweet deal to me.

In the context of Nintendo making sure their handhelds sell well.

@lordtheknight  its a Ninty handheld, when have they ever not sell??? and between you and me i could care less what they sell it has no bearing on if i get the system or not. I just care about the games and as soon as they get the ports out the way ill be getting one.



I never play a handheld game for more then 3 hours anyway so I'm not affected.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
