    Does doing this seem too dangerous to you, or would you risk it?

    Why would I bring a DS with me into the bath in the first place?

    Given the risks, I'd say it's a perfectly good reason.

    You can put it in a normal plastic bag. It works pretty well.

    You could sort of lean out of the bath so it's not directly over the water I guess...

    Ah Jesus. Are people that concerned about the time spent in a bath should be time playing games? And if you really did play your DS in a bath you're not taking a bath, jus sitting in a tub of water.

    The steam would not be good for the electronics - so no.  I only have a bout 4 baths a year (and shower daily), and when I do, I like to turn the lights out and lay in darkness, with some good music to listen to.

    Take showers instead. It doesn't take so long that you'd need something to do while getting clean.

    Nope, couldn't find it.  My memory is weaker than we both realise.  I think it was just a heavy duty zip-lock bag though. 
     
    There is this though - for both PSP and DS:

    And you know it is not very safe, nor is it very wise, to use electronic devices not waterproof (i.e. a Nintendo DS) in while in a bath.

    I'd first vacuum seal it, like depicted here, only you'd have to open it up before you do, off course. 
    Then it's perfectly save to take it with in bath. 
    It'll be protected from water, moist, condens etc.
