All of these features/things cause the 3DS battery to drain quicker than a DSi's: -The top screen is capable of displaying autostereoscopic 3D using a parallax barrier.

-The sound quality is improved.

-The lighting for the 3DS is much brighter.

-There is a lot more features packed into the 3DS.

Probably either because your battery is old or your brightness is too high. It says in the instruction manual that after hundreds of recharges, the battery life will be considerably shorter than when it was new.

I would would wait for the 3ds to get better battery life, but if you don't mind short battery life, go ahead! It's worth it, but in a while a better version may come out, and you would wish that you had waited. For now, I'd get the DSi and get the more new version of the 3ds when it comes out.
