My husband and I are thinking of getting the Leapster2 for my daughter (4) and it is more expensive than the Leapster. What is the difference? Is it just the new model?
Yes you are right its the newest modle..Our daughters have a leapster, but we are getting the new one because the are no games coming out for the old one anymore.. Plus the games that are out for #2 are the most up to date as far as characters like (Littlest pet shop). Good Luck!

Since it's been explained for what the differences, let me tell you some of the deals I found. Costco has (Costco in Everett no longer has this package, but they might be at others and they do have them at costco.com) had the L2, a game (green L2 with a wall-e game or pink L2 a pet pals) and the case for $79. Broken down the game is usually over $70, game about $25, and the case is $15. All can be found on sale at one time or another. I also saw on Cyber Monday on Wal-mart they ran a similar package deal, so you might watch to see if they do it as well. It was the L2 and 2 games, no case for about the same price ($69). Leapster.com will run specials and if you are watching can find bank up deals, I've picked up other products as well.
Good luck and have a fantastic holiday!
me again! the Leapster2 can be connected to the computer. You can download pictures the kids draw to the computer. they get rewards, their are two extra games you can download to the L2 off the computer. Their are extra option on the internet for the L2 and you can also download the child learning progress so you can see how they are doing. You do have to add an SD card to the Leapster2 about $10.00 additional purchase unless you have an extra laying around. I also love that their is a recharge station that you can get for the L2 because I can see how quick they go through batteries.
The Leapster 2 is the newest model but can also be hooked to the computer, they can play games and parents can get updates. The games work for both games, but with the Leapster 2 you will be able to get some things online. We bought the Leapster 2 for our 4 year old daughter. I missed the after Thanksgiving sale, so the best deal I found was actually on leapfrog.com. They have packages that are 25% off with free shipping. One more thing, the 25% off is only through today, the 5th unless they update the offer. Good luck.
