Hmm I never really noticed that, but if you look at the Sonic Icon on the bottom of the screen, where it shows how many lives he's got left - there is a bit more space under it with the new screen. Left to right I don't notice a difference in the pictures. I guess there really is a bit more play field.. cool, another plus for the mod.

I noted in another thread, that I got about 3 hours on those same rechargeable AA's this last round. I think using them (they were in storage for a long time), and learning them has helped a lot.

It's crazy, cause the low battery light was on for an hour and a half - when before the batteries alone would last about that long - TOTAL.

Anyone else getting in on this mod?
