How many forum users does it take to get a single word spelled correctly?
Maybe this thread is simply Irreversible?
Actually, this thread is starting to seem about as excruciating as certain scenes in that very Gaspar Noë film... Those of you who've seen it will know what I'm talking about. *shudders*

Even being a kind of NDS clone, I like the design. Looks practical except the analog sticks but at least they learned how to make a d-pad.

I just need to know if it will eat batteries like the GP2X or have a Lithium-Ion like the PSP and NDS.

According to the European Consumer Directive, it'll have to come with at least two years of warranty within the EU.
Where does it say two years? I thought the legal requirement was 12 months.

I'd have to say that it should at least have a 12 month warranty on it.
Not 'should', 'must', or craig is breaking the law... (afaik)

I hope that those of us here in the USA get at least a one year warranty as well. I'm sure that most people would be quite uneasy spending over $300 for a product with no warranty.

Karel is right, two years of warranty within the UE is required by law. Just google for the 1999/44/EC european directive.

It seems the second year of warranty in the EU is covered by the seller, and not the manufacturer, although I'm not completely sure.
The EU warranty is always covered by the seller; who the seller goes to to cover his losses, is no worry to the buyer.

Even worse (from the seller's point of view, that is): If a defect occurs in the first six months after purchase, the buyer doesn't even have to prove it was a manufacturing defect; it is assumed by the law to be so (and proving the contrary is not easy for the seller).

In fact, this would mean that if you buy something in the EU and get tired of it after two or three months, all you have to do is creatively take a hammer/high voltage to it and you get your money back. Just make sure it's broken beyond repair within a reasonable amount of time (three months, IIRC).

How long does the seller get to refund or replace the item? Last time I had product go faulty it took 2 months to replace it, no refund whatsoever, and that even included keeping in touch with trading standards (Who seemed to be no help whatsoever other than "We need to give them 2 weeks to reply to our email.", and then it was a second email and a further 2 weeks incase the first got 'lost', etc. How an email gets lost I've no idea.)

It's much easier when it's a local shop as you can go down there and make a complete nuisance of yourself until something is done (They always seem to give in way before you do, even after they have usually said they'll get the police involved if you don't leave).
