Bulky battery pack brings 40 hours of fun

Now, we've never had a problem with the length of charge our DS Lite's battery holds, but apparently the Japanese are in need of longer battery life from their DS. Enter this chunky battery pack, which has an internal battery and space for 4 AA batteries. A convenient switch located on the unit allows for the user to choose which power source they wish to utilize, even allowing the power to be cut off from the battery pack altogether and routed to the DS' internal battery.

Do you think the battery pack is too big and ruins the sleek, slim aesthetic of the handheld?
