Am I too old to buy a DS Lite?

[Daboss]

I know this is a ridiculous question, but I recently got it in my head that I want to purchase a DS lite. Now, I am 26 years old, I have an Xbox 360 which I play on occasion but I really don't have the time to be a hardcore gamer. I recently picked up my younger cousin's DS and played a few rounds of Mario Kart and I thought to myself I wouldn't mind playing games like this once and awhile. Call it nogtaligia or whatever, but I thought the game was actually fun

Anyhow, I guess I am looking for some social affirmation that I am not completely out of my mind for wanting one of these things. Anyone here over 25 actually have one of these?

No, you're not too old to get DS Lite. I'm planning to get one for my 59 year-old mom.

People might give you an odd look if you playing it on the bus, but it's not like you're playing hopscotch or tea party or something like that

[UrbanPoet]

yep... way to old.
Now get out of your moms basement and get a job!




Joking!!!! These days everyone plays video games... technology is just cool like that... My 60 year old uncle is more tech savvy then me...
His iPod... his portable 40gb divx player... he's set.

I am 26 and I got a DS lite with out thinking about it. its so much fun when you are waiting for some one.

I dont play it in public too often though. usually just in my own car waiting for a friend or something like that. you will no longer care if you friends are late from now on lol

i say get one and forget about what people think. im getting one for those long streetcar rides home and i know people are going to look at me funny. thats because the're jelous

edit: i just saw 4 older people with ds lites on the queen streetcar on my way home. its cool for adults!

We got our 11 yr old daughter one for Christmas and we almost play with it more than she does. Hubby and I are hooked on Brain Age and I have seriously become hooked on Sudoko. We're both older than 26 too!

For those with kids who have DS's, if you want to make them the coolest kids in the neighborhood get them Tego's for their DS's. Our daughter's is now cheetah skin print on the inside and has a picture of a cheetah on the front with her name!

lol im in my 30s and i play the DS everyday

but i am ashamed of beating my niece and nephew on mario kart on a weekly basis

[jc-fury]

youre not too old at all. i know a lot of people in their mid twenties who have a DS. just make sure you get the supercard if you get one

[Cacti]

Thats pretty stupid to think about. I seen guys who are about like 23 to 25 with DS lites.

I'm 20 and I got a DS Lite. No you're not too old, there are games available for the DS aimed at your age group as well.

[maggers]

I'm 27 and I have a DS lite as well

[Headhunter]

Not at all, go for it!

[astraea]

If you want it, get it.
Who cares :P

there's no such thing as "too old" for a video game. ds lite is worth it, just that if u play it often, buy a super-card to dl games instead of buying them individually, because some of the games i bought i easily beat in a couple of hours, so it wasn't worth it in the end.
