V-Smile Learning System

Anyone have one? Worth the money or piece of crap? Oldest is too irresponsible for hand-held video game and I figure he can play this with his little brother.

I've heard several mixed reviews on this one before I actually got one, but my 3 year old has one and absolutely LOVES it! She got it as a gift, but I would still say worth the money. The games are very easy for her to navigate.

Do you know if they have games for an older child, like 7 yr old, or are they just for pre-k kids?

I want to say yes - but I'm not 100% sure. If you look at the game on Toys R Us.com you will see hundreds of reviews and they will show you some of the games. I'll be honest, I don't actually know of a 7 year that has one - my nephew got a Wii for his 6th birthday.

Ok.. I'll look. Thanks.

Not really. My son has had one since they came out.. he is 8 now. They do make another V-Smile that is for older kids, I just can't remember the name of it right now. If you look at the V-Smile games it will tell you what ages they are for and only 1 maybe two games goes past 7

Yeah, I just looked and it seems like they are more for younger kids.

We have been through 3 Vsmiles. Bought one and recieved two as gifts. The kids loved them but, they continue to break. The biggest issue I have with them not working is that they are contained units. There is no way to get into them to try to troubleshoot them problem. Very frustrating. As much as the kids enjoyed them, I would recommend looking for another unit for little ones.
