I HIGHLY recommend for you to purchase the Pixter. It is wonderful. My husband and I bought this last year for our then 4 year old son. Not only was it his favorite "Christmas Day" toy (and trust me he received about a million other toys that day!) but it has been his most favorite toy all year through. He will pick it up constantly and just start playing it. We definitely always bring it with us shopping and on trips. I found that designating a special backpack for his Pixter, game cartridges, GameBoy and its cartridges works out better than a regular specially made case, but that's just my opionion. We purchased the hard shell case for the Pixter also, and it is very durable, but I have just found the backpack to be more convenient. As for Pixter's durablity, my son has dropped his several times, tosses it on the couch, you name it and the thing still runs as brand new. Batteries last long also. Not only is this a FUN toy, but it's educational as well. My son has gained many, many fun-filled hours from the Pixter. It is one of the best things we have bought for him that has been so well worth the money. He is 5 years old now and continues to have this as one of his all-time favorite toys!! Buy it...you will be VERY happy you did! And so will the child in your life!

Pixters have been keeping our 4 children entertained for years. We bought the original system for our kids when they first came out and have continued to upgrade as Fisher Price has released new systems. My (at the time) 3 year old son got a Color Pixter for his birthday and it never left his hands for the entire year. We decided to purchase the Multimedia Pixters for our 3 year old twins (as we found them on a clearence sale after the holidays). They were such hit with them and our 4 year old and 6 year old children that we went back to buy the remaining clearence MM Pixters for their upcoming birthdays.
The battery life has been surprisingly good and they have survived many drops and crashes. Occasionally we need to recalibrate the screen by using the stylus tool to press the button on the back of the toy. The personalities of our four children range from "laid back and quiet" to "one who rarely sits down" with the others falling somewhere in between, but each of our kids are very entertained by their Pixters for very long periods of time. We highly recommend it!
Best Deals for Pixter Multi-Media System: Purple
We were looking for a substitute of the likes of the Video Now or some the other mindless electronic toys on the X-Mas must-have lists. It isn't much cheaper than those others, but we felt that the options for creativity were greater with the PIXTER.
Like the other systems there are built-in functions: a tetris-like game, a drawing page, word games, dot-to-dot pages, and more. The stylus tool is fairly easy to use and the drawing functions have many stamps, backgrounds and other methods to enhance artwork. The PIXTER will save selected works, also there are many accessories to extend PIXTER interest, additional cartridges some with licensed products like Sponge-Bob, Barbie, Walking with Dinosaurs, Teen Titans, each allowing real-time clips and editing of TV scenes ($20 each). One of the most interesting accessories is the digital camera for even more personalized creative play.
My 8 and 5 year old were hooked by the PIXTER. The only problem is the batteries, some systems come with chargers or AC ports, the PIXTER DOES NOT. We bought rechargable AAs for the toy.
Honest reviews on Pixter Multi-Media System: Purple
I bought this for my daughter's sixth birthday. They reel you in with the game selections, however, the games are ridiculous. You can't really do anything other than draw on the screen. The icons are confusing. I would not recommend this item to anybody. Don't even THINK about trying the digital camera you can buy as an accessory for $40. The pictures are terribly unclear and fuzzy. I say put your money into a Gameboy or Leap pad. This is a terribly outdated toy and not worth $5.00.

We bought the Color Pixter for our daughter for her 3rd Birthday! (After we would spend hours using the demo one in the store) Her older cousin finally broke that one (throwing it on the ground a few times too many.. boys :-( So we bought her the new Multi-Media one for Christmas. She is now 5, and it is still her favorite! While the base system does not have many educational games on it, there are a lot of educational ones you can get, and the games are a lot cheaper than the Leapster cartridges! (Just do NOT get the digital camera!!!!!!!! it doesnt work at all with Multi-Media, and didnt work well at all with the color system!!!!) All the other games have been great so far! Better than DVD player in the car! Best thing ever for plane rides! I would not trade this in for any other toy!
