Anyone still stuck with the GBA and not moved up to a PSP or DS?
I ride the train to and from work and I am usually playing a GBA game. Bear in mind that I am a 30-something year old man wearing dress clothes. I get a lot of weird looks, occasionally followed by people whipping out their cell phones to see if they have any games worth playing. It's not a long ride but I'd rather play a game than read a few pages of a book, stare off into space, or talk LOUDLY on the f-king phone like some people tend to do.
One time a guy with a PSP stared at me with what seemed to be a look of pity. Another guy was talking to his friend and saying "That's just an SP" but was interested in what I was playing once I sat down (Shining Force).
I have no desire to upgrade yet for a variety of reasons-
1. The PSP is too big and has a shorter battery life
2. The DS is too fragile to be dropped/nudged whilst on a busy train and the stylus gets on my nerves
3. The GBA is cheap, small, and has great battery life
4. The GBA library is huge and has plenty of games that are great for adults. I've been playing Shining Force for MONTHS (I'm now seeing if I can beat the game using nothing but spell-casting characters) and then I plan to move onto Tactics Ogre, then Fire Emblem, then Advance Wars, then Golden Sun, the FF Tactics, then who knows what else.
I can see myself not upgrading for years (though I do want a PSP pretty badly). Anyone else like this? Is this yet another case of people looking down on an older system just because it's no longer a current system with no more new games being released?
