Just curious, mostly. =)

I had an old school gameboy back in the day, one of the old black and white screened ones, but the casing was green instead of that ugly grey colour! The only games I had were a donkeykong game, mario baseball (THE COMPUTERS WERE SO RIGGED!!!!!) and pokemon blue. I wasn't allowed to take it to school though. So, I lost interest pretty fast. =(
I bought a DS last year, played it for about a month (and amassed a collection of about 25 games) and then lost interest.

I picked up a PSP a while ago and I can't put it down. Its a completely different experience than the gameboy, I don't know why. I just love it <3

I only have a DS and PSP now. I used to have a Gameboy but I sold it because the DS plays all those games anyway.

Lately I've mostly been using my PSP because I got it for Christmas and have several good games for it. I had a few games for DS but I sold them...I really need to stop selling my games so much. So I only have 2 games for DS and 4 for my PSP.

I have a PSP, but I hardly ever even play it. Most games I see for it just look like shallow, crappy ports of console games.

Except for LittleBig Planet, of course. That game was meant for the PSP.

My PSP has seen more use, playing God of War: Chains of Olympus, Final Fantasy 1, Resistance Retribution, and the Star Wars: Battlefront games, but the past couple of days I've been playing Pokemon Soul Silver on my DS. Except for when I get new games, though, I rarely use my hand helds except on road trips.

I personally take my PSP everywhere. Monster Hunter, God of War, and all of my PSOne Classics at my finger tips at any time... that is if the damn short battery life gets a hold of it first. MY ONLY complaint about the PSP.

Yes!! Mine too... I'd leave my DS in sleep mode for a week sometimes, PSP dies every time I play it =( (bus ride/several hour wait wait between classes some days... bah) At least I can plug it in at my desk at school. =D

DSi, at some point last year it occured to me that I could be playing video games when I wasn't at home if I had a system. All of my friends had a DS so I went in that direction too.

I got a PSP and pretty much play it every damn day, be it bus ride to work/school, break between class, or before bed. I've amassed quite a collection of games since I got it, somewhere around 50 last I checked. God I gotta get back to some games and beat them...but then some other awesome game comes out and has me addicted to it for a good week (Blazblue portable being the most recent). God Dissidia alone has wasted over 500 hours of my life...500 wonderful hours.

If I had the extra money I would consider getting a DS but it's not a very compelling system every time I consider it. There are too few games for it that can really convince me that its worth getting.

I own a couple of gameboys, but I haven't played them in years. Don't even know where they are. Frankly my laptop's portable enough for me. I played Portal on the train the other day. It's an added challenge without a mouse.

only own a psp now. Used to have GB, GBA, Sega Gamegear way back when but sold them. PSP is a nice change of pace from my usual ps2/pc habit. Although I sorta regret buying movies for it (I bought Harold & Kumar, and the season 1 of Chappelle's show for a vacation flight once and haven't bother with em since).

I don't own any. I do need to get a PSP, though, since I have a small list of games I want for it.

Heh I actually recently found my old transparent GBC a few weeks back and still have mario world and pokemon gold. I haven't played the thing in ages, wish I could actually play something on it though aside from mario...because I absolutely hate pokemon. Hell maybe I could sell gold for something.
