  • Wow, GBA SP does look kickass, i never bought GBS but i will have to get this...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It must be akin to those Cell phone battery packs, recharges in 3 hours and lasts 10-18, that's quite a feat. Especially considering any recharables I ever had in the past would last no more than 6 hours in a regular Gameboy (as opposed to around 30 with Duracell or Energizer).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Alkaline does in fact hold the best charge, but i hear they are only rechargeable 50-100 times while NiCad can be charged 1000's of times, but with less useful life.</div>
