PSPgo vs PSP 3000. What should I best consider as a gift for my 8 year old son. Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

I say the psp 3000 because you save money on games you get for it and plus you can get the games for it with UMD disc or digital download game, but on the psp go everything got to be digital download which cost way more then getting it on UMD disc

The Leapster is a good substitute. Both of our boys had Leapsters first and my oldest son still played with his until he got his DS on his 9th birthday (granted, he was getting a little old for it...). I have a 3 year old and she's still a little young for the Leapster, but she can use the drawing feature and will mess around with it. Definitely by age 4.

Well:) My review is like two years old but yes. My son still uses the same computer and yep,he plays Diablo 3 with it. It has been a great machine and I am happy that we bought it.

I suggest buying a Structure that is easy for him. Kinda like this this one right here. If he is familiar with the show, then he'll love mighty Blue-Eyes and the next gen of Blue-Eyes Azure EYES! For you see Duel Monsters is a tad bit complicated at times to understand. So I also suggest let him play the game online. If I helped then right on. Here's the link for the game http://ygopro.de/en/ and as for the item here I bought it as well, still love it and good buy.

When we purchased for our son in early January 2014, it did not come with anything but the Vita and just enough memory to try a few games. It came with a charger and that's it. He likes his Vita, but I wouldn't say he plays it any more than his old iPod or the PS4. The light blue color was a huge hit among his friends at the time, since it was only exclusive to Japan. I think it is cheaper now that it is available in the US. He changed all of the settings to English and he's 9, so I'm guessing it's easy and kid friendly.

Thanks. The graphics seem better with Leapfrog compared to our Baby VSmile, and I'd like to buy the VSmile for the game compatibility but can't afford that and a Leapster.

This device has a dual core CPU; the second version of the device has a quad core. I would suggest going for the Archos Gamepad 2 or Wikipad instead. While the hardware looks nice on paper the device overall has pretty lack luster performance when compared to equivalent tablets on the market.

They came out with farming simulator 2015 which is a lot better. I think once he knows the controls he's in good shape. For games like this, you would need a good processor and graphics cards so the game in simple terms is not choppy, blurry etc. Hope this helps,

I'm according with you. There are many electronic gadgets to say wich is better. My sister and me was checking between DS, Playstation, Tablets and vtech Innotab and finally we decided by the Innotab because we think that have characteristc more appropiated for my 4 years old nephew. For example, we think that a DS is a smaller toy for a 4YearsOld hands and we was looking for an resistent educational toy, but I'm sure that we, as women, consider more important the educational aspect than for example a father, who maybe consider as a priority the graphic quality of the toy and the type of games. Good luck!!! I'm according with you. There are many electronic gadgets to say wich is better.

I think we all underestimate your daughter, my 10 year old son also wants one and does not knows how to use it, but he know what is, this is fad, they use famous DJs of electronic music, there android app that simulate the launchpad and are very easy to handle. Does your daughter already has a smartphone Android? It would be an excellent gift! I will not buy my son's because in the end if he does not manage, it will put aside and expensive for that. I'll buy a better smartphone with the same budget to download the app. Luck!

I have the first generation PS Vita, it looks good; for the second generation I think it would be a great thing because that version is a little thinner but you should have no problem using it.

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

My mom told me she wanted to get my older girls these [ages 5.5 and 8.5] I told her to get the Leap Pad since they have games to age 9. I would think my 8 year old would be bored.

Go with the DS all the way. There are plenty of educational games out there for it plus a ton of regular games he/she would enjoy playing!

I don't know. It would depend on how good or experienced he is with electronics. I bought it for my 6 year old grandson because his older brothers hogged the computer or had I-Pads. He was always using his mothers phone for the simple games on that. Bought this for him last Xmas when he was almost six and he still uses it on car trips. As he is a bit hyper, bugging his brothers to get attention, my daughter loves this as it keeps him occupied for long stretches. If your 11 year old is not experienced with computer games, x-boxes, PS3/4's and such, it may keep him amused as it has LOTS of games. The question is for the price will it keep him amused long enough. I have never seen my 10 and 12 year old grandsons try to get this from their little brother to play with, but they are big on the computer and really smart. X-boxes and PS3/4s are good because they have many games you can play. The PS3 I bought for it's blue-ray capability came with a game they play endlessly when here called "Little Planet". There are "educational" games for all these systems, but don't call them that. Good luck!
