Hey all, just wondering how the battery life is after you've had it for a while? I'm getting one soon and wondered if it would have a noticeable impact on the battery if it was on a dock for most of the time.

Cheers

I haven’t noticed a huge difference and I’ve been playing it like crazy on both the dock and handheld. Battery wildly depends on the game and performance settings. It’s my primary gaming device and I love to tinker with it but I haven’t noticed a degradation at all.

Cool, I was a bit concerned about the battery life getting worse over time.

Thanks for that.
