This review is from: LeapFrog 30606 DIDJ Star Wars Design - The Clone Wars SE (Special Edition Bundle) (Electronics)

I am quite surprised by all of the mixed reviews for the Didj learning system. I purchased this Didj system and my 8 year old son(3rd grade) has thoroughly enjoyed the system. It is true that Christmas morning I could not sync the product with the Internet, but within a few days this issue was resolved. I do disable the firewall associated with my computer (Dell XP) and then the interface with the Leapfrog Learning system seems to work well. Leapfrog has tried to find a balance between education and gaming, a balance that is not easy to determine. I do wish that is was more focused upon education, but my 8 year old son does spend hours playing it. He enjoys earning points and buying things for the game via the Internet, and I do receive e-mails from Leapfrog that describes his progress. I also purchased the carrying case, and I have not had problems with the case flying open - it was initially a little tricky for my son to open it, but he has gotten the hang of it. The screen on the Didj is easily scratched and even though he is quite carefully a screen protector is probably a good investment. The range of games he seems to enjoy, Spongebob, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Nick Tunes, Fosters Imaginary Friend, etc. I do think that this is a good product, and have been surprised by other reviewers who have reported such a bad experience. I did purchase the black Star Wars edition of this product so maybe this might account for some of the difference. Can't wait til the new improved recharger is re-released as this does really go through double A batteries. I am planning to purchase the Leapfrog Crammer as he needs more help with learning multiplication tables.

My children love this toy. It is educational too so I don't mind them playing. My son wanted a DS for Christmas but we didn't want to have him playing mindless games all the time. This has been a wonderful compromise. You can hook it up with the computer to adjust what your child is learning and then look on leapfrog's learning path to check on their progress. I wish that they made more games for it though. Also, we go through batteries fairly quickly. We are getting the recharging station ASAP. Also, our original Didj did not recognize the games but leapfrog mailed a new system out without any hassles. The new one works perfectly.

My son is video game "crazy," like most 9 year olds. I bought this system for him for Christmas and my mother bought him a PSP at the same time. He had been having trouble with learning his math facts, so I took all the other gaming systems away and told him he could only play his Didj. I bought another Math based Didj game so he could switch between the two games. Within 10 days he had almost mastered his multiplication math facts, and he said he had fun doing it! I am more than please with this product and the games. WELL worth the money!!
