My sister got her Gameboy for her birthday from our grandmother. A few years later we pooled our money for a Gameboy Pocket, I've bought a GBA, SP, DS and GP2X with my money since, and will be getting a PSP in the coming week(s).

I got the original Gameboy from my uncle when I was like 8. It came packaged with Tetris and headphones, and I couldn't put it down for like a week afterwards. I kept using it until the screen became corrupted, then got a GBA a few years ago. I've also recently purchased a DS Lite.Handhelds were definitely a good addition to video gaming.
