I just got my Wii and it chews through batteries so I thought I'd invest in some rechargeable ones. Save the environment and some $$! Anyways the best deal I found was here:

$21.79 for 8 2600 mAh AA batteries plus a fast recharger (2 hours to fully recharge the batteries)

Should be enough to power your wii-motes for a while.

I bought the kit with 8 AA+4AAA+charger since I wanted to use the set for my graphing calculator too:

Anyways I hope this helps anyone who is feeling bad about their Wii pollution.

Edit: I wanted to add that these aren't quite as fancy as those recharge stations but its much more affordable and not sold out

i've had NIMH batteries forever kinda pain charging them but their great i think, my camera uses up batteries like crazy and it has saved me decent amount of money. also use them for the wii, but one thing thats annoying is that it loses charge slowly cant remember the exact numbers but was something like 1% a day.

still if you dont own one i also recommend you grabbing a NIMH
ebay isnt too bad either or check your local stores

just grab yourself a couple of 2500mah energizer batteries and a 15min charger. they're great especially for wii marathons

Wii chews through batteries? I've had the same batteries in my wii for 2 weeks (if not longer) and I play with my Wii like crazy and it's still show full in the menu.

But if you must get rechargeable batteries do expensive or don't do it at all. Trying to save money most always ends wasting more money then expected.

Yeah NimH's lose about 30% of their charge a month at room temperature so you should stick the ones you don't use in your fridge.

I'll post if I have any problems with these puppies though.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
