Is that a Vita in your pocket or...?

Where do you go that has had multiple shootings? Virginia Tech? Northern Illinois? It usually isn't THAT prevalent.

I go to the University of Texas at Austin. In 1966, a former Eagle Scout named Charles Whitman barricaded himself in the UT Tower, killing 18 and wounding 31. It was the deadliest school shooting up until Virgina Tech. A folk song was even written about it. In September of 2010, a student using a modified AK-47 shot up the campus (didn't kill anyone) and then committed suicide in the library. You might say UT has something of a history with school shootings.

If someone had a concealed pistol, they could have taken out that gunman and ended things more quickly.

I bet I could fit my PSP AND PS Vita in the same pocket on my fairly tight jeans. Seriously, this thread is non-sense.

I'll be getting another DS Lite eventually. I don't think I could fit all 3 in the same pocket. :P

I'd be too afraid to put that many in one pocket, I wouldn't want to damage them :lol:

Edit: And by the way, that picture is exactly what it looks like when I put my psp in my pocket.

Is it comfortable though? Seriously, would you walk around with that thing in your pocket?

If we want to get technical, I'm sure I could squeeze a GameGear in mine.

(Edit: Probably not, Kindle Touch does though. :lol: )

It's perfectly comfortable. But it's something I would NEVER do under normal circumstances. Also, whether it fits in my pocket or not has nothing to do with whether it is portable. Perhaps that is your standard for a portable gaming device, but it is not mine.

Like I said earlier, if it doesn't have a clam shell design there's no way it is going in my pants pocket... unless it's to take a picture to show you that I can easily put it in my pants pocket. I don't care if it's a Game Boy Micro or Game Boy Pocket. If the screen can be scratched while in my pocket it just is not happening.

How would it get scratched in a pocket with nothing else inside?

I have carried my Game Boy Micro, iPhone, digital camera (with huge lcd screen) in various pockets, front and back, and have had no scratches.
