DS Battery life

[Strider]

Had mine on full charge yesterday and its lasted for a total of 4 and a half ours. I thought it was supposed to be double this?

:O

It is doomed tbh!!

[Strider]

Nah, we've discovered the problem, it's because we've been sending loads of pictures of cocks and cups of tea via Pictochat (wi-fi apparently drains the battery life like a mofo).

I thought Stuart Campbell was blackballed from Future?

Lol Strider. A grown man on his DS playing Pictochat and sending pictures of cocks. Comedy gold.

It's a tad annoying that you can't get rid of the keyboard and have more screen to draw on. My penises lack plenty of length, but no real girth.

I'm gonna etch that in stone...

[Ginza]

So basically your penis is rather lacking in all areas then is that what he's saying Jibber?

I've got a Goldmember, which has special abilities, cloak, energy sheild, poke through walls, the works... I think the rights are being bought from me for the concept...

anyways... I digress...

I'd imagine WiFi would caine the batteries, but then isn't that what ya meant to do with the DS?

[Ginza]

Isnt that giving away all the core details about Rogue Agent?

[rjpageuk]

What is the battery life like when just playing games?

Ginza, or someone, let us know!

[VR46]

whatever it is it's gonna be better than the PSP's battery life

[Ginza]

Mr Page I cant say iv timed myself whilst playing but have been immersed for a good few hours.

Nice quotage..

In his speech last night, Yarnton acknowledged that "there's a bit more competition in the market this time around," but alluded to Nintendo's history in the handheld console market, which has seen the company successfully repelling almost ten serious challenges on its dominance of the sector.

He also couldn't resist taking a veiled swipe at the PlayStation Portable's widely reported battery life problems - commenting that not only is the Nintendo DS ideal for train journeys, but that its battery will actually last for an entire journey as well.

[Mayhem]

I've played about 6-7 hours solo on the DS, and used the wifi for about 30 mins (between Mario multiplayer and trying out Pictochat) and no sign of any wavering in the battery life just yet...
