Go up one level in this thread


I have the Sapphire I, and I love it. Nice, aggressive style. You need to know
three things about it: First, it chews through batteries like they were candy.
Get a couple of sets of rechargeables, that way you can have one set charging
while you're playing on the other set. Second, the board and the unit are
separate pieces. Some people hate this. I don't mind it. Third, the AC adaptor
plugs into the unit at the bottom, I believe, and this is rather awkward
(perhaps this is changed on the Sapphire II?).

All in all, though, I've really enjoyed mine. You can't take the diamond on the
plane.
