    When i had the GBA when i was 6, i could have played when i wanted.
    When i had my now fuse blown DS lite when I was 8 i could play when i wanted.

    Now about 7 or 8 years later i can play my Wii when i want because i have my own TV.

    Well, although I live with my parent (not for much longer, I hope!), my mother works incredibly long hours, leaving me a good amount of time to myself while my brother is at school. Since I only go to uni 3 times a week, I can safely say that I get pretty much as much time as I want. Alternatively, I could move half of my consoles to my dad's, and I play without interruption for a good 12 hours of the day. But, I don't think I'd have the patience to move my stuff over there, lol.

    Whenever I want. The joy of being old enough to do whatever you want, priceless. Well, priorities always come first, though.

    Aww, I remember when I was a kid and I was only allowed to play Gameboy for an hour a day on weekends. >_<; Man I do not miss that.

    I live on my own so I can play whatever I want, whenever I want--the only obstacle now is making sure the TV is free and my roommates aren't already playing something on it. But that's not difficult because I'm the only one who typically wakes up before noon so I just nab the TV then if I'm gonna play.

    I have PC games, PS3 Nintendo DS (original), and older GBA system.

    All in my room, so I can play whenever I want.

    I can play whenever I want, for as long as I want, including school days. As long as I get my work done and other important things finished, my parents don't tend to care much about it.

    I can play whenever I want, and I have 4 main console in my room. I'm excluding handhelds cause like...I take my Lite and 3DS everywhere with me and handhelds are for travelling haha. Anyway, I can play whenever I want, but I don't play console games a lot. idk why! I don't like playing late at night, because I'm easily spooked. Other times, I feel like I'm being unproductive so I feel guilty for playing. This doesn't happen with handhelds that much, or at all, though. idk why. :( In fact, when I still lived with my mom, if I was grounded, my handhelds were taken away, but never my consoles. It's like they knew lol.

    Whenever I want! :D

    In fact, I spent last night until 1:30 this morning working on a Monotype Challenge in Pokemon Red.

    I can play my DS whenever I want, though I don't much. My mum would prefer I don't when it's late or I should be doing something else, but she considers me old enough that she can talk to me about it and then let me make my own decision, rather then prying it from my hands.

    As for the xbox, it's new and no real 'rules' have been laid down for it yet. I just only play when my parents don't want to watch something on tv and only when I dont have to do other things.

    Always been like this, I don't think mums ever forced me to stop. What always happened when I was a kid, is I would just listen the first time she said something (I was ok with eating dinner without my gameboy in hand), or she would just yell at me and make me feel like I should stop playing, even though she wasn't forcing me to, because I didn't like it when she was angry haha

    I can play any of my consoles whenever I want, with the exception of my PS3 that always seems to have some problem or another. And, of course, a lot of times I have to do things that are more of a priority than playing games.

    Any time I am not studying. The problem is I wonder too much what I want to play and end up wasting most of my time on the internet. >.<

    I play with my DS during my free time (which is whenever I'm alone or at home). When I'm with my family, I sometimes bring it, but don't use it much.

    I don't play consoles much but I can whenever my mom isn't using the TV. As far as handhelds, whenever haha.

    Pretty much evenings and weekends. But I don't do consoles very much right now, and usually end up using that time to look up games that are close to release.

    I can play whenever I want - seeing as I'm a big person now. :P

    I tend to not play nearly as much though... and I have to fight my husband for use of the TV.
