I think I am the last person to purchase this one, but I still have to say that I think the Leapster is a lot of fun. My kids really enjoy it. I did a lot of research online about the unit and the available games to see what was most popular. I purchased Pet Pals, Kindergarten, and Diego. They love all these games, as well as the activities that came with the unit. I did not buy the Leapster that plugs into the TV because I read that the TV quality was not great, and that there were quite a few people that complained that their units broke.
