It would seem to me that accessories are the carrying case, the headphones, things of sort. You pay this much money for a video game system and it doesn't come with the cord to plug the thing into the wall. Very upsetting. HOW STUPID, when you buy a battery radio or tv they still give you the cord. why does this company consider this "an accessory", SO THEY CAN BLEED PARENTS FOR MORE MONEY. The game system is a good one but I'm sick and tired of being taken advantage of.
I put the cord away and the kids don't miss it. The only reason we have the L-Max is because we couldn't find the regular Leapster and the guy at Walmart said they were phasing out the regular Leapster. The only way to break it is to have an elephant step on it, but it might even survive that. We did that maybe a few times, but we find that it really defeats the purpose of a handheld game.
My kids have learned math, spelling, science, critical thinking skills, art and more from Leapster games. It's supposed to be portable so we can take it everywhere. Hooking it to the tv is too much hassle and doesn't really add to game play. My 4 and 7 year old kids have the Leapster L-Max and the regular Leapster. If you have a choice between Leapster and Leapster L-Max, I'd go with the Leapster just to save money. Our Leapsters have been dropped and thrown in fits of anger and they are still working like the day we got them.
All the Leapster games work on the L-Max. It is a terrific educational tool.
The L-Max feature isn't worth the extra cost. The selling point of the L-Max is it can be hooked to the television.
It is the best investment I've ever made in a toy. It is in every other way exactly like the regular Leapster.
If you're worried about durability, don't. The only drawback is the cartridges we have to buy for them but even that is worth every penny.
I'm sure they are phasing both out now in favor of the Leapster 2, which connects to the computer to show the child's progress.
we have 4 very active children and they use this all the time. my daughter even dropped this in the bathtub and we took it apart to dry, when we put it back together it worked. i love the fact that they are learning while they are playing. they have dropped this many times and it still works. that was a year ago. i am going to buy the boy version of this for my son.
We love it. My daughter is 3 and she can operate the toy and takes it everywhere.
So I got another green one(for grandson), thank goodness it comes in pink for my granddaughter. So, out shopping I saw insulted lunch bags on clearence, they work perfect. They loved their uncle's games so much I have to get two more to prevent a lot of fighting. I have two young adopted sons, and some grandchildren the same ages. Top of lunch bag is plenty big enough for game wallet and charger. Next I needed a carrying case, I read at www.healthytoys.org that Leapfrog's cases are full of lead.
I got them all, plug in power and game wallets.
I would hate to have 4 green ones.
Brand I got was Artic Zone.
I got green ones for my sons, and now have to buy two more for my grandchildren, whom I babysit.
Well padded, nontoxic, and cheap.
So far they love them.
I went to Leapfrog website and you can find some bargins there.
It has a square bottom with zipper (for sandwich) game machine fits perfect in here, even with a game left in.
I haven't gotten headphones yet, so don't know if they would fit or not, but they might.
