I don't like to play DS in public... I'd gladly play my PSP in public, though.
Subconscious things. I always pocketed my DS when I exited the car to a building, not the PSP.

Embarrased? nah. i play on the train, in the car, in class. anywhere where im bored pretty much. only time when it annoys me is when people watch me play for 5 seconds and say its a shit game. most people just crowd around ask what im playing and if they like the soundm, they'll stay otherwise they will just walk off. I expose my power level sometimes when i read manga in public though. i get weird looks from time to time when i do that but some people look at me with awe as well. more of the first though.

when I played GBA in the school cafeteria people looked at me like I was some kind of freak. However I think the DS feels alittle safer to play.

To be honest, playing the DS in public IMO is no different to people playing games on their phone in public (which tbh, I usually do more, because my phone is always with me).

To be honest, I never EVER see people playing cell phone games

Shut up you moronic idiot.

I "carry" my DS everywhere. I bring it with me every time we leave to go somewhere.

Who knew, people who spent their good earned money, become fags. Amazing. Sorry for trying to get use out of my system I paid for.

i agree with jalaneme, if you see people who have baseball caps, tracksuits and 'bling' then trouble is there. only in the uk i think? but in my school chavs have ds and nobody really cares

Naww, I play mine out in public, except games which require the microphone (Brain Age) Normally though, I have both my DS and PSP with me,

I carry the PSP around so people can stare at my modified XMB, then wonder why mine is so different

Of course not. I take my DS as many places as I think that I will be able to play it at. I dont take it if I wont be able to play it as I dont want to lose it.

I take it too school, the library, pet shop, park, and sometimes to the Masjid--Muslim equivalent of a Church--the only place I dont take it is the Skating Rink--those heathen kids are thieves and fiends. I dont trust em for a second and I dont want to break it if I fall--doesn't happen alot but if it does I dont want to break my poor moppet.

P.S. I love Reading or Listening to MP3's on my DS. All the "what in the world..." stares from random little kids on the bus is funny.

I dunno about you guys, but in my school, there's barely any people that play their DS in public because they get made fun of :\ I think the DS (maybe Nintendo as a whole) is seen as kiddie-ish, unlike the PSP, which I guess is seen as for a more mature audience. What do you guys think?

People who worry about being "mature" are usually anything but mature.

That's why the largest audeince for "mature" video games is a bunch of pimple faced male teens. (Most of whom are virgins)
