4.0 out of 5 stars Not essential but can be useful 9 Jan 2013

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
This contains an Official nintendo power adaptor and a charging cradle for the Nintendo 3DS XL.

If you have bought a 3DS XL please be aware you will need a charger (unless you are upgrading from an original 3DS or DSi DSi XL), which is available from Amazon on its own for approximately 1/3rd of the cost of this pack.

What you gain with this pack is the charging cradle, a black plastic frame that the included adaptor plugs into. To charge your 3DS XL you simply place it in the cradle and it starts charging - I bought it because I have to plug in the charging cable to my mobile phone and tablet when I'm back from work - simply being able to drop my 3DS XL straight into this saves me a little hassle and time - something that for me is worth the extra price.

The cradle has a cut out so you can keep headphones plugged into your 3DS XL while it is charging, is set at a slight angle and you are able to change games in the 3DS XL all while it is charging, although you wont be able to access the stylus without lifting the unit slightly - which is not a problem.

It dies what it says on the tin - charges without having to plug a wire into your hand held each time.

Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   
Its very nice to have a place to dock my 3DS XL, however £20 is expensive for literally a piece of plastic. Sure you get a charger, but i have one already that i had to buy day one with my XL. If you are buying a XL for the first time this is a good purchase, but for me owning a charger already it is basically £13 for a bit of plastic. It works well though, probably the best dock I've ever used

PROS
- Access to all buttons on the 3DS including the headphone port
- It's really easy to set up and use
- The 3DS is playable while in the dock
- Looks fantastic a works perfectly

CONS
- Pricey for what it is
- Not necessary
- Should of been included with the XL in the first place

OVERALL
4/5

4.0 out of 5 stars Good power supply 2 Dec 2012

Very good simple design that works, not cheap for what it is but fully functional, erly days yet for cradles and you may not actually need or benifit from having one, a power supply is good to have though.

Nintendo, with the 3DS XL, released the cradle, which allows easier charging, separately to save costs. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Great product, terrible price.
This docking station works absolutely perfectly. I cannot find fault with the device itself.

I guess the main advantage is that it will save wear and tear on the 3DS's... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Practically necessary!
First of all, Nintendo, is having a smaller box for the console itself really justification enough for selling these separately? No, don't answer, the question isn't meant for you. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Neccessary Extra
Quite simply it does exactly what it was designed for - the 3DS XL would be difficult to use without it.

Just leave it set up for easy charging of DS. No need to keep plugging the cable in the back.
