Right now the only complaints that I have with the unit (other than the design of its casing), are one, it does not allow game saves with the current cartridge, and two, when batteries are low, the display becomes fuzzy. The information brochure inside the package (printed in Chinese) indicates that upcoming cartridges will add wireless multi-player, digital camera, and portable TV capabilities -- looking forward to them!
Pros: * Screen is excellent-I've never seen any cheap handheld console with as good of a screen as this one. It blows my VG Pocket out of the water in terms of screen quality* The TV-out works great* It's powered by AAA batteries, which last for a loooooong time (<10 hours)* There are, like, a zillion cartridges for it. But see: Cons
Cons: * There aren't any other cartridges available on DX, aside from the ones that come with the system* The cartridge sticks out A LOT. I'm afraid to put it in my pocket for fear that I will break it.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: It's a good deal; the screen is great and you get 99 classic NES games to play wherever you want. It appears to be sold out at the moment, but hopefully it will be back in stock soon
Pros: Very sharp screen. Better than I had thought it might be. TV-out seems unique to this hand-held console - very cool. The games are just like the original, not re-done versions. Some games I haven't seen since my Apple IIe days... quite the treat.
Cons: Buttons do have to be pressed harder that a typical game controller. It's a little smaller than I thought it would be, but not hard to handle.
Other Thoughts: For the price, you just can't beat it.
Bottomline: Buy two, you won't be sorry. If you only buy one, you'll never get to play it - everyone else will be playing it.
Pros: -Tons of classic games-Very long battery life-Good speaker-Bright screen-TV-Out rocks-Free 99 in 1 game cartridge-Although the A and B buttons are switched, I found it very comfortable while playing the games
Cons: -No headphone port-Screen gets easily scratchedAlthough it has a very long battery life, I tried changing out the batteries when the screen started to flicker with brand new Duracell batteries but it wont turn on. I've tried other new batteries but it only starts with the at least one stock battery. Maybe its just mine but its pretty weird.
Bottomline: Overall an excellent product
Pros: Great screen, great audio, great battery life, nice TV output, nice controls, the 8-bit multigame packs are fantastic and really reasonably priced if you can find them.
Cons: Hard to find games for it these days (they're mostly sold out everywhere) ... the A and B buttons aren't correct for 8-Bit games, they should be placed B on the left and A on the right ... not a huge problem, but some 8-Bit games are un-playable in that setup.
Other Thoughts: Other than the button problem, it's a great system at a great price, and I wish I had gotten more of the game packs before they became so hard to find!!
Bottomline: If you love classic 8-bit games, this is a beautiful clone system. One of the best I've ever owned.

Snowflakes (fuzziness) appears on screen when batteries are low. Changing batteries solves this issue.
The manual states that both NTSC and PAL formats are supported. However, some have reported that the TV-out's format may be determined by the cartridge being used, not by the console (similar to way DVDs work).
