will you charge before playing?

a lot of people are asking if you can play your 3ds right away or should you charge it, so in this poll answer what you plan on doing.

i personally will play while i have it plugged in!

Either I will pick it up at midnight launch, plug it in, sleep til morning to play it or just wait until that morning to pick it up.

My plan is open box turn it on to see just how much battery life it actually has, then from there if itis 1/2 battery or more I plan to play my 3ds till the battery almost dies... Reasom for this is the 3ds has alithium ion battery which is the same type used in most smartphones/cellphones.. With my blackberry i used my phone till the battery was almost completely dead then charged it and repeated this 3-4 more times, reason being alithium ion battery needs to be programed in a way , so if it has a 1/2 charged battery when you start your charge then the battery will remember this and each time your system/phone gets to only 1/2 battery then it will shut off and think your battery is completely dead... The people whom work for blackberry were the ones whom told me about the battery issues and the way around it.. I did as they said and used it till fully dead then charged it to full and repeated this 3-4 more times and I have yet to have any issue with my blackberry, on average my battery last like 9-10 hours (talk time) on my blackberry now.. So given that a 3ds uses the same type of battery I am going to do the exact same as I did with my blackberry.. and if for some odd reason it doesnt work then I guess I'll just have to buy a new battery lol (yes I am that convinced it shall work the same charging wise as my blackberry). Hope that all made sense, as I tend to run thoughts together at times :P

and yes I am aware that a blackberry is a smartphone and the 3ds is a gaming system, but like i said the battery is the same for both.

This is interesting because its one of those questions that I want to ask and never have. I think I'll charge mine first and play at the same time after putting on scrn protectors. Ill probably put at least 2hrs into sf4 that night, maybe some time into pkmn white as well :P

I think I will. I don't want to waste the battery for only an hour or so.

Don't really have a choice since life screwed me and set me up with an extra long work shift on launch day

At least I can pick it up that morning
