Scout Gaming Backpack or Mission Bag

[Gremlin]

I wanted to know where the ASTRO community stands on this matter of opinion. Which would you rather have, the ASTRO Scout Gaming Backpack or the ASTRO Mission Bag? Why would you choose one over the other?

I was going to settle for the Mission Bag, mainly because I just needed something to safely transport my Xbox 360, but when Severity brought up the idea for a backpack I jumped on board for the cause. Not only would the Scout Gaming Backpack serve as a great way to haul my 360 from LAN to LAN, but it can also serve as, you guessed it, a backpack. When I first saw the Scout Gaming Backpack here on the website early Sunday morning, I knew that I had to have it. Its amazing looks and spacious capacity locked in my decision. That's my reason, so what's yours?

I would go with the Scout Backpack for sure. Much more practical.

So many of the pockets are all velvety inside, iPhone / blackberry / glasses friendly.

That's one of my hundred reasons.

I prefer backpack style bags for travel, which I do frequently.
So much more convenient, better for your back, and not quite as bulky.

My MLG Scout Backpack should be arriving today! Can't wait :) Though.. I ordered it Wednesday before 1 PM PST, and maybe it's just 'cause of where I live but it hasn't arrived yet:P Good thing I have patience.

I think I will get a the Scout Backpack so when I'm not hauling around my 360 it can double as my laptop backpack, with all the pockets for all my other gadgets.

I would go with the backpack, riding on the train or out in public it's safer and is less likely to get bumped around.

the mission bad is good and well made but I'd have to go with the backpack for practicality and versatility.

I'm slightly torn between the two. The backpack doubles easily as an everyday use backpack and with it's high quality materials and stylish look with interior it'll be my choice for day-to-day use. I guess if I ever did move my console from place to place it'll be within my car or other form of transport. A mission bag provides plenty of room to travel especially if you want to go and carry some clothing/accessories with you.

Eh still feel torn between the two.
