Nintendo DS questions.

ok either today or tomorrow(whenever my lazy ass mother gets in her car and goes to collect my ds off her friend) ill be gettin my ds. it's one from the states. ok basically im wonderin about the whole charging situation and what is best? is it just the battery that will need the U.S voltage? does it use the same gba battery? if yes can i just use my gba battery and charger? or would you recomend a step down convertor or is there another way? what is the best?

The GBA SP charger works, I hear. You can guy that in Game, it's a tenner or so.

I know the DS will be more innovative and probably be more fun to play than the psp, which is basically just a small ps2, but i have to say sony have done it again, the psp looks so damn sexy i just want one, moreso than the decidedly plasticy looking DS...DAMN YOU SONY FOR MAKING ME WANT YOU!

Im still amazed how threads about either one or the other are all turning in to PSP v DS. All he asked was how to charge it

RE The voltage issue:

The charging unit that comes with it converts 110V to 5v where as the local GBA SP chargers turn 220V to 5v. So there is no issue as long as you use a local GBA SP charger. As somebody said they are €10 in GAME. Alos Play.com and other do USB charging cables and car chagers.

This is about the 10th time the charging issue has come up the Mods should really sticky a post/thread about DS import iussues.
