Well, I'm sat here. Forgot my Zune at home. Stuck at work. The horror is incomparable. A day at work without ANY music would be death.
Saved by the PSP. Wireless internet ftw, Wireless internet RADIO for the WOW factor.
Got me to thinking, What game consoles do you own? Handheld or otherwise? What do you play most on them?
I own the PSP, a DS and then for regular consoles I have a Ps2, Xbox and a Wii. Plus the original NES and a N64. Although with the Wii, I barely touch those anymore.
And of course, I own my PC...

I've got a 360 and a Wii. I play the 360 most. I just beat the main quest for Mass Effect. I always go back to Oblivion every few weeks or months. I am very excited about Fallout 3 and Fable 2. And I am currently resisting the urge to buy Madden 09.

The Wii I only play with my kids. That console is mainly used by the wife and kids.

And I have a laptop for PMOG and ADD :)

I have a 360, PS2 and original Xbox, the Mrs has a PS3, I love the 360 and without blowing my own trumpet I am the Halo King, and could thrash Tiger Woods at his own game.

I dont really play anything else, apart from Project Gotham racing and a bit of F1.

The only three I own are the DS, Sega (the first one) and NES, although my roommates have an Xbox360, two original Xbox, two PS2, a Gamecube, Wii.
I'd cry if I ever got my hands on a Super Nintendo and an ATARI, though.
Gotta represent the old school.

I used to be a hardcore pc gamer fanboy. But my gaming rig failed on my. So I gave the 360 a shot. It was much cheaper than fixing my pc. I love the 360. I still play some older games on my laptop though. I've got Arcanum, Fallout 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights, & Freelancer installed.

Fallout is the bomb. I have to save up and get a 360, JUST so I can play fallout.
I play the Wii a lot. Mostly Wii sports, but my friend has rockband on the Wii.. Gotta love it!

I used to be a PC gamer..but back around 2001 when I stopped beta testing PC games I stopped playing PC games altogether...I was at least 18 months ahead of the market anyway.

I've sampled almost everything...started on a Timex Sinclair 2000...had to write our own games on that thing.

Then moved up to the C64...sweet days!

The first console system I had was a ColecoVision. That was the shit back in the day! Still have it too..but the graphics card is kinda shot so it only sometimes works now :(

I won an NES about a year after they came out, so that started me on the road to being a Nintendo kid.

I moved on to the SNES and N64 from there. I have an original Gameboy as well.

I skipped the GameCube, I have a Wii, and I picked up a DS this year for my trip across the world. (17 hours in a plane I needed something to do! what better then trying to play Trauma centre while experiencing turbulence? :) )

I also have a PS2 and Xbox which I picked up over the years.

Across all of them, I'm mostly into RPG/strategy/sim type games, but I also enjoy some of the action and sport type games. The Wii is fun for so many different reasons...

Oh yeah, back in the day I also played with a Turbo Graffix 16 and the Sega systems that friends had..never picked those up myself.

I could almost open up a museum in my apartment to old consoles and games since I sitll have them all in storage haha....

oh crap, how could I forget that up in the loft I have an Atari 2600 in the box and also a C64 but I dont mention that one.

I remember thinking I was the coolest kid in the word when I wrote a dice rolling prog on the C64. Unfortunately it wasnt really that random.

@salmontickler:
Oh, dear. What do you want for it, if you're truly willing to part with it?
I'd disappear from the internet for a while, reveling in the games.

To be honest I had totally forgotten I had it, I will never play with it and its never going to be worth enough that would stop me selling it.

I will go up in the loft shortly and check it out, and I will PM you with a price,

The only things I have really held onto are my Lego Technic sets. They are all listed on Briskset and some are worth over £200 quid which aint bad for a lego set.

I was one of those kids that kept all the manuals and boxes, and when I left home my parents stored them in the loft, which is why I still have the Atari and C64.

I also have a good collection of smurfs if anyone knows what they are.

We all know the smurfs, and their filthy filthy natures. (Only one female and an army of men.. Can you say orgy?) But that's beside the point!
I used to have so many consoles and things. I try and keep my PC fairly good looking. I need to be able to play games! I have to be able to do Red Alert 3 (Multiplayer beta right here baby) and then Warhammer online (Closed Beta for me!) these things are REQUIRED!

I have a 360 and a Wii, both collecting lots of dust. I just got the Wii, though, and then I moved, so I just haven't gotten around to hooking it up. I'm selling the 360 to my brother, because those games are just too hard for me. Yes, I'm getting old and I have to admit I'm not the hardcore gamer chick I'd like to be. Tennis on the Wii is actually pretty fun, though.

The funniest thing I have seen recently is an exercise game for the Wii. That made me laugh,

I would imagine most People that play on consoles and gamers in general dont go to the gym much. So why would they play an exercise game.....

Let's see... currently I've got... an Atari (still works not hooked up to anything) a Sega Genesis to play my favoite game of all time... SONIC SPINBALL, an N64 and an X-Box as well as a Gameboy Mini in banana yellow! (I lost my original Game Boy somewhere >.>)

My sister has a Wii and an X-Box 360 so I never bothered buying either of them and when I was in Uni, the boys had Playstations and well... Game Cube and Wii, so again, never bought them to play.

I want a DS but haven't gotten around to buying one. WoW dominates most of my time anyway. Not a huge fan of console games in general, not anymore at least, I don't have the attention span to finish most games XDDD
