Thanks so much for the tip! Does anyone know if software comes with it?

[BargainMama]

We bought an earlier version on clearance about a year ago and while my kids love it, the software is a pain to find. All the usual stores (TRU, Walmart, Target) have sold it out. (Atleast in my area.) It will be interesting to see if the "new" cartridges work on my older machines.

Oh, and assuming that this model is similar to the older ones, it comes with several games/activitites already loaded on the machine, then you can buy extra cartridges that are themed. (Cartoon characters, Math, etc.)

UPDATED: I just checked and this is exactly like one of the two units that we have. I also checked the TRU BF ad and noticed that they are not offering any of the cartridges on sale. Don't get me wrong, this thing is fun and my kids enjoy it but I STRONGLY advise you to look for the extra games before you buy! It may not be such a great deal if you can't ever get any extra software.

Thanks FOr the heads up on the Games I didn't even think about not being able to find them!!! Is the TRU one NEW or OLD??

I bought 2 of these...one for my 8YO nephew and one to put up for my 3YO son. I have already been to Target & TRU looking for games/software and they don't carry ANY. It was still a great deal but I hate that I'm now giving my nephew something he won't ever be able to find games for. That said, there are TONS to be found on eBay!

I was talking to the Mattel rep yesterday in Meijer and she said that she was sure that picster is a private lable now for ToysRUs...kind of explains the sale ?

My kids would LOVE that... too bad they're not getting it.

I'm fairly certain that it's not "new". It looks exactly like one that we bought (on clearance at TRU) almost a year ago. If you search the site you'll see that it comes in Black, Purple and Blue. Ours is the Blue one. We also bought a less fancy version on clearance at Walmart at about the same time. All of our games were purchased on clearance from TRU, Walmart and Target.
