We got this for my 6 year old daughter just before she had surgery, thinking it'd be something quiet she could do during the long car rides to the hospital and back, and during recovery. It was a hit! She loves it. We've stressed that it should be kept in it's case while she's not using it as the manufacturer suggests, and she respects that. The cartridiges don't offer a big assortment or variety of things to do per cartridge, but how much would you expect to be able to do on a small screen. My daughter loved doodling on her Dad's Palm Pilot but he always worried she'd accidentally delete important files. Now they can both doodle at the same time! I researched the Pixter before we bought it, most people complained of the noise... while I agree that a headphone jack would have been nice, with me up front and her in the middle of my van I'm really oblivious to it. It's a noise you learn to contend with since it makes your child happy. The light makes a great addition for night time use.

This was the number one toy my 5.5 yr old daughter wanted for Easter. She loves playing with Mommy and Daddy's PDA and this was to be one of her own. The new color one might be better as the Barbie Black and White is too hard to see and not much fun to color. (Hmmm, shall this be black or...white?) It was also very difficult to figure out what the games were. I got her the Dino cartridge, which she did play with, but since the second day, it's been on the bottom of the toy box.

I bought my daughter a Pixter Plus Christmas before lasr ( not Barbie) it looks cute and I like it but it was hard for her to do? So she didn't really play with it! I bought a pixter color this birthday and she plays with it all the time. It is much easier to work with. Big price difference I know but I would hold out!!!! You really do not need any games. It is fun by itself.

I ordered this toy for my niece's birthday. She lives 1500 miles away. I took Amazon's combo suggestion of the Barbie Pixter and the Barbie color fashion show cartridge. Lo and behold, when they arrive, they don't even WORK together. The cartridge is for a completely different system. Now my sister has to go through a return process because of this and my niece has no birthday present. THANKS AMAZON.

I bought a Barbie Pixter, black and white format. I have tried to buy expansion software, but have been told that a black and white format will not support color software. I am so disappointed that Amazon and Toys R Us sell a product that has no software available to expand the unit I purchased. I feel that items like this (including the basic systems) should not be sold if they cannot support any available expansion software, they are basically obsolete.

I bought this toy for me niece. Amazon asks if i want the Color Barbie Fashion Show with it, so i repied yes. When it arrived i was disappointed to see that the the Barbie Pixter and Barbie Color Fashion show were incompatible even though Amazon pushes them. Terrible job Amazon!

I bought 2 of these for my daughters (4 and 6 yrs old) a few months ago and they both absolutely LOVE it!! They like the fact that they can "send" pictures that they created to each other (the systems need to be almost directly in front of each other but they don't seem to be bothered by that fact). The disadvantages that I found as a parent are that the systems are black and white (although my kids never seemed to care about that) and it is getting harder to find games for this. I was fortunate in that when I bought these, I was able to find many black and white games still available at the Walmart and Toys R Us stores by us. So my suggestion is do an initial search for the games and see what is available (you may be able to get many of them on sale) before purchasing this unit or spend a little more money and purchase the newer color ones (I can't review those but I would assume they work simliar to this but in color).

From a kids prespective, my 4 year old actually prefers this Barbie black and white pixter over the color Leapster she has and my 6 year old, will play with both equally.

This toy sux! I stopped playing with it for 11 months and its already broken, I wouldnt recomend this toy for ayone over the age of 8, so if you wanna save ur money dont buy this annoying hideous terriblr toy~

This is a really boring toy. I fyou still like babrbie this may be fun, but when you grow up you will hate this toy!! I recomend this to 4 year old trough 8. This toy is so boring (if u r older than 8)

If you buy this for a Holiday and the next year the girl will be turning 9 I would not buy this toy. Say you buy this for Christmas and your daughter is 8 years old the next year she will be 9 and she will hate this toy! I got this when I was 8 but I only played with it for 2 months! I already stuffed it in the bottom of my toy chest!!
