According to all the loyal fanboys we've spoken to, the Nintendo DS only needs to be recharged every several years (as opposed to the PSP, which according to them, requires you to lug around a Sony Qrio on a bicycle generator if you want to play for more than five minutes). But on the off chance you somehow run out of juice mid-game, Gametech is selling a hand crank charger for the Nintendo DS. At least in Japan.
ok you can tell by my name that i hate the ds (because it's a piece of crap) and i think that this is just a nother piece of junk for them to sell with it.
Well if you hate pieces of crap, then you must really loathe the psp, with its many incidents of dead pixels, faulty buttons, horrible battery life (not as bad as mentioned here, but still pretty crappy compared to the ds), long load times, randomly ejecting disks, proprietary umd media, lameass use of expensive and inferior memory stick media, ...
Did I forget anything?
Just need to remember this is sold by a third party OEM and not Nintendo itself.
I actually got this for my GBA:SP, noticed it delivers a nice 5V so I hacked a USB socket to it.
How good is it?
I'd file it under 'emergency only in fear of carpal tunnel syndrome' :P
No i don't actully don't hate the psp, and are you actully that much of a retard to beleve everything you hear?
put piezeo crystals under the D-pad and AB buttons.. each press, a little spark....
"mr ds hater", all of those things about the PSP are true.
Who are you to say "are you actully that much of a retard to beleve everything you hear"? I happen to OWN both a Nintendo DS and a PlayStation Portable, and I can agree with him. I like my PSP, but right now, the Nintendo DS provides me with more entertainment.
