Poll: Do you make good use of your portable systems portability?

[Eric the Orange]

Now i'm not talking about laptops here, but rather DSs or PSPs. I ask because I find that I very rarely play mine outside my place. And I often wish that I could play them on a big screen. So for me at least, the portable aspect of these portable gaming systems is a waste.

So how about you, Do you make good use of portability?

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Oh I do. I've lost countless hours in the loo playing on my DSi. ... Does that count?

i move my ds a lot
from the armchair to the couch to my room - i make good use of its portability

i sometimes take it on holiday as well, but that's rare

I use my cell phone games frequently, but as for portable systems, i havent had one scince the GBA

I usually play with my PSP when I'm at home either on the john, during dinner, watching a movie I've seen a million times, and when I'm waiting for a phone call. Sometimes during long cutscenes, I play on it.

The only portable system I have is a Game Gear I just plug it into a wall and I don't think I've ever put batteries in it.

I only use them during car rides. Generally, I'm playing them at home.

I rarely bring the DS out of the apartment. (no real reason to.)

Surely that must count.

For me, I played my DS on the bus a lot...but uni getting too busy for that now *sad face*

 

[Nostalgia]

Not really. I'd use them for car rides more if I didn't get so easily sick due to it.

When I am sans a book to read on a mode of transportation I'm not in direct control of, I tend to take out my DS and continue grinding Chrono Trigger.

Since I've nearly got the last tech, I might have to start advancing the storyline again...

'bout half the time

but you can still see the screen way better inside a building

Mabey I just live in the past but one reason I like portable systems is that they don't have the graphical capabilitys of consoles so publishers don't feel they have to do everything in full 3D.

It was sooo nice to be able to play the DS on a train and know the stares I was getting were because I was foreign...

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Most of the time when I am away from home and have a good opportunity to use a portable I didn't bring it with me. The times I do, I never get to use it.

Wait, what? OK this is a bit off topic but where did that happen?

 

[Arisato-kun]

I use my DS in school. That's about it.
