Downloaded a few apps the other day. Why is their an app centre as well as cartridges? Are the cartridges for games that are too sophisticated or are the cartridges simply for the console before the tablet?

No idea, I thought it was that you could get one or the other with more Apps available online than cartridges.

Must say my wee lad loves his and has had great entertainment from it, will get him a few more games/apps down the line.

Same here, she thinks its class. She will get a lot of use out of it over the next few years. Thanks to Santas little helper in Monaghan.

My wee lad was 4 in November. He hardly looked at it xmas morning but that evening when the dust had settled he disappeared into a corner for a hour or so with it and had a good play with it and knows his way round it now. Some great tools and stuff on it.

My wee girl just turned 3 and we just packed it back in its box to re issue again for her birthday. She gave more attention to the other toys on christmas so maybe she is a bit young for it

Perfect I'll get it for her birthday, cheers.

Aye they are a great job (Leap Pad Explorer), my wee girl is 5. Leap Pad Explorer is hard on the batteries though, as i believe the Innotab is too. If you have an old AC Adapter kicking about the house it will also charge it.

These machines are poison. Let them go and watch TV in their bedrooms.

My 10 year old nephew ended up in A&E three times, with pains in his limbs, turns out he was cramping up with the intensity of playing one of those war games on ps needless to say he is restricted to the amount of time on the playstation now.
