To all gamers out there and anybody else,

Have you guys ever share your consoles (PS2, PS3, Nintendo DS, PSP, Xbox, Wii etc) with other people? Personally, I think that sharing the big consoles (PS2 and Xbox) or playing together can be real fun and I think its even mandatory should you want to know how good / bad you are.

However, things change with it comes to handheld like DS and PSP. I saw a lot of people here saying that they lend / give the handheld to their siblings, bf/gf or other people. For me, I will not tolerate it.

Siblings, well if they are careful person, I don't mind at all. However, if they are those that who play your console until got problem just give back to you one or those who doesn't know how to protect one, I will definitely not giving them my precious. I am a single child, so forgive me if I sound very skeptical.

Friends wise. It's the same case. But, I might be more selective.

Bf/gf - Again, I am single. (I am pathethic aren't I?) I do not have the idea on when your bf/gf request to borrow your console what would you think or react. For now, I will also judge her first then just decide on my handheld fate. Most probably I will not borrow to her. However, if I got sufficient fund, I might buy a new one for her so we can play together .

Siblings - Do I really have to say it out loud?

So, boys and girls out there, what do you think? What kind of situation you had before and how do you response? Also, do you have bad experience putting your consoles' "life" at other people hands?

Thank you in advance.
