Original Gameboy: Summer 1991
DS Lite: August 2008
3DS: Pre-ordered from Amazon, but I wasn't actually able to play until this weekend because of way too many tests between then and now. Won't be playing again until after finals.

Got back into portables because I wanted something to do quickly when I was bored that woldn't involve lugging a Wii ack and forth and be really distracting. Got the 3DS because I think the 3D is really cool.

 

[DryYoshi]

Don't know the date of my DS Phat and 3 (!) DS Lites, but I got my 3DS on March 24th.
