I got these for my twin niece and nephew. It kept them busy all morning on Christmas. It's almost 2 months later and they still love them. It's helped my niece alot with reading and spelling. Great buy!

I bought this for my 7yr old daughter so she would have something constructive to do on those long trips in the car, she loves it!! it's the best hand held game "i think" for a child so far, and this is the cheapest place i found one. she learns as she plays and as she progresses i can increase difficulty so she continues to learn and i can keep track of her progress along the way. there is a decent amount of games and variety to choose from so finding something she will enjoy is pretty easy if you know where to look for them, i have yet to find them at wal-mart but target has several as well as the internet.

Bought this to help separate 2 Didj so that the siblings don't fight. But they said that they can differentiate by looking at the login name.

i bought this for my soon to be 8 year old as a replacement for her leapster 2. i would be nice if they made more games but i like that i can personalize the games they do have. i will definatley be ordering more as my other children get old enough for them.

If you're looking/considering this system, STOP! You're looking at the wrong system. The Didj has just become obsolete. Look instead at the LeapFrog Leapster Explorer Learning Game System (Green) or LeapFrog Leapster 2 Learning Game System - Green

Leapfrog has just discontinued the Didj, and just came out with a brand new system, the Leapster Explorer. The Didj was not a success for Leapfrog. From customers reviews (both on Amazon, but also on the Leapfrog site itself) it appears it was flawed by bugs, and needed constant patches to fix the problems. Some customers also did not find the Didj games very educational. In comparison, Leapster 2 games get much higher rating for being fun and educational.

In contrast to the Didj, the Leapster2 was and still is a success for Leapfrog. It gets overall good ratings from customers. And kids and parents like the games for being fun and educational. The Leapster2 is NOT discontinued, and Leapfrog informs it will continue to support it and to develop games for it. I'm thinking, perhaps Leapfrog will discontinue the Leapster2 in the future too, that is if the Explorer becomes a huge success. But for now Leapfrog will continue with the Leapster2. So it's still a good and proven system to get. You can read my review on the Leapster2.

The Leapster Explorer is the brand new system (released on 1-july 2010). According to Leapfrog the Explorer is not a successor to the Didj nor the Leapster2, but an entirely new system with much better specs and functionality. It's too early to tell, but I expect the Explorer to become a success too, because I take it Leapfrog has learned from experience to make a much better system now. You can read my review on the Explorer.

We have the L-Max, Leapster2, and now also the Explorer. We don't have the Didj, but I have read a lot about the Didj when researching the other systems. I felt compelled to write a review when I saw pretty recent reviews posted on Amazon.

I hope this information is helpful to someone. Thanks for reading.
