I have stayed away from the leapster devices because I had bought one on clearance but this one attaches to the TV and becomes a computer/video game but DD didn't find it nearly as exciting as the computer. Go figure! But for her last birthday I did buy her the new explorer and she loves it.
DD is reading now and I have considered the TAG system but decided against it since it might make her go backwards. The system could become a crutch and she could use it to read for her which defeats the purpose of her reading on her own. I think we will stick to the old fashion way of doing things. I did buy her some Bob books and another style but she likes the other ones a lot better. So I'm back to the bookstore to get the next level.
