2.0 out of 5 stars Not sure what I expected...but I guess it was more than I got!, April 4, 2007

This review is from: Nintendo DS Lite Recharging Dock (Accessory)

What I expected was a cool blue-light product that made charging my DS simple and fun! What I got was a cool blue-light product that actually proved to be more of a pain for charging the DS and ultimately ended up tossed in a drawer.
While it might be fun to show this off to your friends when they come visit, actually using it is not fun at all. First off, you have to either a) leave it plugged in (you have to use your DS charger for this) so that it is ready to charge your DS on cue; which ultimately leaves the light ON <--this is a pain, as I truly thought the thing would only LIGHT when being used for charging!?
or b) plug it in when you are ready to charge your DS, which, basically is adding an additional step to the charging process, making it NOT fun at all. And as I already mentioned, while plugged in, the light is always ON!? When your DS is fully (and finished being) charged...the light is STILL on!! Making it difficult to tell when it's finished charging. Let me just say... UGH!
In my opinion : cool concept, bad finished product

The unearthly blue glow that emits from this cradle is annoying (to say the least). I didn't realize that it lit up when I bought this cradle. I don't think I would have bought it if I had known. It glows whether the DS is charging or not. It glows even after the DS is charged. It's just a freakin' annoying blue glowing thing.

It DOES charge the DS, but it's very difficult to put the DS into the charger and just as difficult to take it out. It's a two handed process. If I have to use two hands to charge my DS, I might as well just plug it in.

It was only ten bucks, but even so, I feel ripped off...

1.0 out of 5 stars A Little Blue Light and That's It, November 29, 2007

I lost my original DS Lite charger and bought this thinking it was a charger. It is not. It requires a DS Lite charger to function. If you already have one, this product offers a blue light and the option to have your DS Lite in a somewhat vertical orientation.

If that's what you want I suppose this should be a five star review, but to me it seems amazingly wasteful and pointless.
