I have been thinking, since I only play games on average about 3-5 hours a week, should I just stick to a DS and mabye a PSP later on? I have a GC right now that I really love, and I've been considering getting a Wii or 360. I love to game but I don't have the free time anymore cause I'm married, work full time, and I manage bands. I stay pretty busy and that stinks sometimes :)
Back in the day, a Gameboy was my only gaming, so yes I am sure there are. You should try to manage a day of the week or certian spots of time for gaming, this will keep you into gaming and use the most of your free time you got.

I used to only game on handhelds and the PC. The GBA had tons of games that kept me occupied. And the DS is just a good system as well. But, sadly, I've been neglecting it ever since I got my 360.
No, because the full console experience can't be replicated on handhelds (screensize holds them back, even if nothing else does). Plus consoles get a multitude of games that are amazing and never reach handhelds.
I can't imagine spending my entire gaming time only on a handheld- I generally find that most of my free time to game is at home....where I could just play a console on a more comfortable screen. Even if I do have a 20 minute break or whatever, if I'm out of the home, my mind is going trying to prepare for the next thing...even if that next thing has nothing more I can do, I find it better if I do something intellectual.
When i was in the transition of moving i only had my handhelds for a while. After i finally got cable and my 46 inch Sony you realize what were you missing. Playing games on a 46 inch > 3 inch dual screens 8)
There are plenty of casual gamers out there that just own a handheld for their gaming system.
I'm mainly playing my DS atm, although I do use my PS2 from time to time.

Same here mate. None of the next gen systems have really wowed me and developers seem to be ignroing the PS2 (which is retarded considering how much it's sold).Â

DS is the best choice for you. It's perfect in short bursts, get a PS2 as well if you feel you'll get time to play itÂ
If owning a handheld fits your lifestyle,then there's nothing wrong with primarily being a handheld gamer,as the PSP and DS have some great games,but if you want a full console experience,you may want to invest in one of the consoles.
DS is the kind of thing busy people who want to play video games on the go need. Although, this is an important question: When you commute do you drive or take transit? If you drive, then there really is no point in getting a DS since you'll rarely get a chance to play it by the sounds of things.
