My DS who is 5 in K has lost interest in his Leapster. I was looking at DS, but thought it might be too much of a gaming system for him. Then I came across the new Didj and wonder how that will be. Comments anyone?

julie, i saw a demo of it at the store and tried it out myself to see if ds1 would like it. it had the Star Wars game in it and it seemed easy enough to play, more video game than a leapster (at least SW game was) at the end of every board i played there was 1 or 2 math questions, then the next board was all side scrolling video game.

for the price of the system, plus games, we're just getting charlie a nintendo ds. it didn't seem as educational as i'd hoped...if we're going for video games i figured i was better off getting something that would last much longer...heck, i have a ds and love it.!
