I’m going to do this too. I’ll try from the top of my head, but I may forget some.
Gray Game Boy (x2), ice blue Game Boy Pocket, clear purple Game Boy Color, gold Game Boy Light, silver Game Boy Light, arctic blue Game Boy Advance, silver GBA SP, Famicom edition (red/gold) Game Boy Micro, silver Nintendo DS, pink Nintendo DS, cobalt blue Nintendo DS lite.
I think that’s it. I still want a DSi XL and a 3DS — not sure what color, though.

Let’s see if I can do this…
Gray original x3, clear purple Game Boy Color, glacier GBA, colbalt GBA SP, onyx SP, graphite SP, black DS lite.
Of those, I have all of them around somewhere except 1 of the originals and the cobalt SP. I also have a handful of devices around that were my kid’s but have now been abandoned because they’ve moved on (between the three kids, they have a 3DS and two of the DSi).
I’m still thinking of getting a DSi myself at some point, but not until the DSi gets real homebrew support instead of just running DS homebrew.

Hi, my name is Carl, a.k.a vitzie629 or Carl G. I have a Game Boy Play it Loud (same as the original but different colors). My Game Boy is like a Relish Green, I used to have the usual one which that’s off-white, which two of the screens broke from dropping it and sneezing on it. But my Relish Green Game Boy doesn’t break! Woo-hoo! I’m happy! I got that at the flea market in Eynon, Lackawanna County, Peensylvania. I can play my original Game Boy games. Like Tetris, Super Mario Land, and more games.
