Our 8 yar old wanted a Game Boy for Christmas again this year (fourth year in a row) and we knew we could get a VFlash system for the same cost. For the past three years, we were able to keep him entertained with the Leap Frog Leapster system (which we described as "an educational Game Boy") but this year, we had to move away from Leap Frog because he already had all the Leapster game cartridges and there were no new games for his age group. We bought the VFlash system because of it's educational features.
Both of our sons absolutely LOVE the VFlash and so do we! I think they had low expectations because it was an educational system but once they got into each of the games (Scooby Doo, Spiderman and Sponge Bob), they kept saying "Mom, this is FUN!" They even like the Jumping Bean game, which had gotten so-so reviews. The thing I really like about the system is that they can play together in a NON-COMPETIVE way. The VFlash system determines whose turn it is (player 1 or player 2) and the corresponding controller becomes active/inactive so there is no arguing between the boys over whose turn it is or that one "played" the other's turn. And the way the games are structured, it is advantageous for the players to HELP each other because the scores are cumulative based on each player's contribution to the overall score.
This system is a WIN-WIN for both children and parents! I am already planning to buy the "Incredibles"and "Cars" game cartridges when they are released in early 2007.

My 2 girls ages 7 & 6 played with this all day on Christmas. I was pretty impressed with the graphics from a system at this price. I also really appreciate the discs being in a protective plastic case so they cannot be damaged by little hands. I also love that the controller can be switched for right or left handed players, or however you prefer. I even loved playing along with the kids. The girls are already asking for another game. It comes with a game called "Jumping Beans" that helped them with spelling and math. There is also some games that deal with geography and creating a dancing cartoon character and a 3D vehicle...all enjoyed by my kids. Of course the graphics are nothing compared to a Sony Playstation or X Box, but for younger kids its just the right.Best Deals for VTech V.Flash Home Edutainment System
My four year old saw the advertisements for this game system right before Christmas(2006). I wasn't sure if I should get it for him because of his age but was willing to give it a try since he has proved me wrong before. My son absolutely loves this game system as much as his V. Smile. He plays both of them and still wants more game for each. I was very surprised at the type of things the children learn with this game system. Imagine my surprise to see my four year old locating the continents on a map of the world while playing this game. I highly recommend this game to all parents.Honest reviews on VTech V.Flash Home Edutainment System
Even if this thing has been discontinued, I'm still happy with my purchase. My 7 year old son received this for Christmas last year and LOVES it. To this date, he nor his 9 year old sister have asked for an Xbox, Playstation, or the like; they're happy with this. It's been through a move and has been used and abused by the two kids as well. It has held up very well! The Spongebob game was too difficult for my son and he gave up on it quickly, but Scooby-Doo has been a hit and the kids are really excited to point out that the game teaches them as they go. Hopefully by buying this system, I've managed to also buy myself a few more years before they start asking for the $400 systems....!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for VTech V.Flash Home Edutainment System
I received this about 3 weeks ago and my 7 y.o. (who is a computer and video game wiz kid) loves this!! It is quite educational and it has held his interest for up to 2 hours at a time. I am very pleased with the design and durrability of the discs is unmatched anywhere in the industry.
