RSS 2.0LeapFrog Makes “Console”, Edu-Tainment a Scam
February 5, 2008
Leapfrog, the company that rips of parents to make a quick buck, has created a new ploy for parents who want to trick their kids into thinking they’re having fun. Meet the Leapster2 and Didj (the Leapster2 is, of course, the follow up to the completely unknown massively popular Leapster). These two “gaming devices” are aimed at children under the age of 10 (who don’t know any better), and are supposed to be an alternative to an iPod, Cell Phone, or more expensive and breakable handheld such a DS, PSP (AKA, everything that isn’t one of these pieces of crap from Leapfrog). Personally, I’ve bought several shipments of them. I don’t plan on playing them, but I do like to use them as bait at the playgrounds… I’m a creep. More picture after the jump.

I bought the Leapfrog Pentop computer for my daughter and what a load of GARBAGE this is! Nowhere on the box, or anywhere on the material does it tell you that it doesn’t work on a MAC…..not until you have trouble installing it (already opened the box, and can’t return it) do they tell you that it only works on Windows XP…..well, I have Windows XP….but, it’s a Mac…so, it won’t work….what a crock of crap! They are FALSE ADVERTISING and it is disgusting! We paid BIG money for this package and even more money for the stupid “special” notebooks ($10 each) for this stupid thing….and it doesn’t work at all. Further, Leapfrog won’t even offer us a crumb of a credit of any kind, towards ANYTHING to even ATTEMPT to make it right. That is a HORRIBLE way to do business…don’t buy products from this company, because they certainly don’t stand behind them and don’t have any customer service skills whatsoever!
