I have purchased the old black and white one for my 2 daughters and they loved it, I could take them places with me like to get me hair or nails done and they would sit there and just watch it quietly until I was finished. I am so glad that they came out with the color kind now, I will be purchasing them one next month I know I will have to start their Video Now CD collection over (they have over 15 CD's from the older one) but hey, it beats spending the money to get a T.V installed in the Explorer, they can each watch what they want to watch. I can't wait to surprise them with the color Video Now. As long as they keep make them, I will keep upgrading

I have had a black and white video now for a year now and I love it. I know it seems like it is a little expensive but it is like a t.v on the go. I am young and i love videonow. I can't wait to buy a videonow color. Even just buying one video for it is good because kids can watch it over and over again. It is good for when you are with your mom or dad and they are doing boring errands you can quietly sit there and watch them. I mean even you can get 3 pvds for under $20.00 and watch it over and over again. I advise for anyone from the ages of 6-13 to buy this videonow. It's great for a Christmas gift too and it's just in time for the holidays!

I brought this toy for my son and after plugging in the batteries after 5 minutes guess what? A black screen. Sound but not picture.

I contacted HASBRO and hopefully they will credit me or fix it or something. Wish me Luck!!

This is just great for kids. My neices love this toy and love the numerous choices of videos, especially Hillary Duff. The clarity of the picture is tremendous and the unit is compact and fits in a back pack and is not too big for small hands. It's great in the car on road trips as well. I highly recommend this product.

Against my better judgement I recently purchased 2 video now colors. This toy is not something I wanted to buy due to the limited amt. of disc to view. I pictured the toy collecting dust soon after the puchase. My daughter played with the toy on the first day, shortly after the screen went black! I changed the batteries and within a couple of minutes it happened again. My child is disappointed and I have to buy this toy reluctantly, again! This time I will keep the package it comes in. Don't buy until they improve the hardware. I gave it 2 stars due to the fact that one out if the two do work, for right now.

I bought my son(who is 5) a VideoNow and my daughter(who is 2) a VideoNow Jr. for Christmas. THEY LOVE THEM. I have never had a problem w/ either of them like other reviewers. These things have been dropped and banged around too and still no problems. It is now Februray and I replaced each of their batteries only once and there are days they don't use it and other days its on for an hour or more. Also they can watch each others dics which is great. Did I mention I bought the Video Jr. on clearance at Target for $8.66 and the Video now at Toys R Us for $12.50!!!!!!!!!!!!! BARGINNNNNNNN!!!!!

Highly recomend them, they are GREAT for a car ride but get a few sets of head phones! :)

WE PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT YEARS AGO FOR XMAS FOR OUR SON WHO IS 7 NOW AND HE STILL LOVES IT! HOW MANY TOYS CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT? IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL ON LONG CAR TRIPS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE EAR PHONES AND CAR CHARGER. WE USED BATTERIES MOST OF THE TIME, AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS WORKED WELL. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR 2 MORE FOR MY COUSIN'S KIDS. I THINK THIS TOY IS GREAT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I purchased this on clearance for my son. It was the last one and the spongebob theme, he was very excited to see what it was. Well, after 3 battery changes and even plugging into a wall adapter, there is still no screen, at all, not even a blue screen. The sound works, but unfortunately, that failed to hold my son's attention for even a minute. I can't exchange it for another, because as I said it was the last one, so I'll be returning it, and debating whether I should invest the money for a game boy advance. I just wish it had worked even for a little bit, it was heartbreaking to see the look on my son's face when there was no picture. What a piece of crap.

I like that I can take it in the car wit me and that i have headphones too.

We bought two video now Colors, and a video Now Jr. for our kids, thinking it would be fun for the car. However with standard batteries not one of them lasts for more than 5 minutes. I spent money on the more expensive (M3) batteries, and they seem to last longer. However at $9 a pack that seems a bit pricey, even the rechargables don't hold up well in the players.
