Difference Between Leaplet and Download Card? Can anyone tell me is there a difference between buying the Leapster Leaplet and the Leappad Download Card?

download card can be used right away while you have to wait for the leaplet to arrive. The download card has the set price while if buying from amazon the card prices actually change I bought one for 16$ the last time I ordered and today its 17. They both are 20$ credit and are used to buy the same items. It would however be neat if you were allowed to buy different amounts instead of 20 at a time

Plug the leap pad into your computer. Make sure you set up account with Leap Frog. Go to the website that's on the card. You order the games through the website that's on the card. There's a code on the app card. Put that code in the promo code box when you're in your shopping cart. This is after you select the games/books you want. :) Games range in price from $5 to $25. Hope this helps!

I cannot say for sure one way or the other. I bought this for my Grandson who lives in another state. I know that he has the Leappad 2 (I think that is what it is called) and it works on it. So sorry.

The leapsters need sd cards,...and you can also erase all the info in them...try to insert the sd card...it goes behind the barttery pack

I read your question wrong. I would definetly upgrade from the Explorer to one of the Leappads. They are much better to play then the explorer and do have the cameras and a bigger screen. We updated from one device to the other for our boys.

I just tried a 256mb SD card in my daughter's tonight, and it is not recognizing it either. The connect software says SD card required, and the SD card selection is faded out on the unit like there is no SD card in it. The card is fine though. I am able to view it and format it and save to it from my computer. What's the tech support number for Leapster products?

I would say probably not. The leappad2 is pretty much the same. It does have a little faster processor, little more memory, and the camera is a little better. It also has two cameras. But if you have the first one its not really a big difference.

I can't say 100% how this works with Leappad 2 as we have the Leappad 1, however it is simple to use. Once you have the Leapfrog Connect software installed that comes with your leappad, you chose your device and go to the "App Center". Once there, it's just like shopping anywhere online - you add items to your cart. At checkout, enter the code that is on this card and the amount is applied to your order.

The benefit of the wifi is that you can upgrade it without computer. The biggest benefit, for me, anyway, was that I was able to download ALL of the games and apps I had purchased for other LeapPads, so the apps were finally shared instead of one app=one machine.I don't remember anything being free except the promised choice of one app to start out with.

Yes. The LeapFrog® App Center offers a code on the included card to download learning games, eBooks, videos and more to your LeapPad1™ & LeapPad2 learning tablets and Leapster Explorer™ & LeapsterGS game systems.

you dont have to use the leap motion device. it doesnt do much in terms of pc functionality, it only works with special games/apps

The stylus comes with the leap pad. And I am extremely impressed at whatever method they used to attach it. I am constantly telling my son to stop dragging the leappad around by the "string". He drags it by the stylus as if it's a dog on a leash, and it has yet to break, fray, or show any signs of wear. We love our leap pad ultras! Both of my children have one, ages 4 and 5.

Apps are purchased online from leapfrog and downloaded to your child's leappad. A game cartridge is a small removable cartridge that you insert in the leappad. You have to physically have the cartridge in the leappad to play that game, whereas apps are stored on the device.

I'm not sure if this is the one or not,but if you check the leapfrog website directly they DO sell one...but I don't want to buy this one until I find out for sure its the right one. It says it does not work with leapster explorer...and since the leappad and the explorer seem to share everything else...I just don't know! Someone please help us!

I have twins, too. Whenever I download an app for one LeapPad, it loads it onto the other as well. So, no, you won't have to purchase apps twice unless you buy the cartridges.

see: http://shop.leapfrog.com/leapfrog/jump/View-All-Downloadable-Apps/category/cat950005some games can be downloaded cheaper than buying the cartridge. but - they take up memory on your leapster then.

The only time I use the internet is for orig setup of ur leap pad & updates required. I have a leap pad 2. My daughter has the Cinderella leap pad ultra reading game & all we did was put the cartridge in & it worked. I hope this helps.
