PSP. It does everything that....well every other handheld apart from the DS does and has a great library to boot, oh and it's MAJORLY hackable. Heck if they'd have chucked in another screen then it would've done what the DS did too. n_n

For me it's GBC, GBA, and then PSP.
GBC is first because it's the first handheld I owned.

My first gaming memories were of my Gameboy Advance. So I chose that. But ironically, my favorite games were A Link to the Past and the Super Mario Advance series.

I remember being a toddler, and playing Tetris on the big, gray brick at my aunt's house. I didn't know what I was doing, or why, but I totally loved it.

It was the original Game Boy that started Nintendo's reign as king in the handheld market, and as such, I think it should be considered the greatest handheld system of them all. And with classics like Tetris, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and the Super Mario land series (not to mention its spinoff Wario masterpieces), who can argue? The Game Boy set the standard for handhelds, a standard still in place today.

Most of the people voting are voting consoles they had first which isn't the purpose of this poll. I couldn't decide over GBA or GBC so I chose GBC for nostalgia.

I seriously doubt that out of the 63 people who have voted in this poll so far, that 18 of you have ever even seen a pandora in person let alone have used one.

Pandora...in both categories.

Buut what I actually voted for was the PSP.
While the DS has an overwhelming amount of great games compared to the PSP, the capabilities of the PSP are pretty amazing.
The graphics of some games are incredible. Also it may have only a few amazing games, but they really, really shine above and beyond most any DS games.

Plus you didn't even include the DS so it was sort of a "no-contest" psp winz kind of thing for me.

It's called fanboyism.

If the DS was up there, I probably would have stuck with the original Game Boy.

I'm confused as to why PSP was there but not the DS, especially given the sales comparison.

Even if you'd left in the DS, I'd still have voted for GBA.

DS Lite is the best of both worlds. DSi's no slot-2 equals no purchase as far as I'm concerned.

Crappy camera and silly image warping software =/= slot-2.

But choice between DS and GBA? It's GBA.

It seems I can't vote Unless I also include a '2nd tier' - but the problem is, not having tried any of those shown, I can't make a sound judgment of which I'd prefer

Can you add another choice like -
'Never tried any of above but ____ sounds interesting' - then I could tick this & any I think I would like t try (money permitting)
