I haven't heard if they will be on sale, but just from personal experience I wouldn't recommend them. They are eduacational and really fun but both our Vsmile and Vsmile pocket quit working after only a few months. The boys were not rough with it, either. First the sound went completely out, then it stopped showing a picture. Unfortuneately, the warranty on them is really crappy as well, so we couldn't get a replacement.
I have heard great things about the Leapster Max, though.
My son received his last year at Christmas and plays with it constantly. We've never had a problem with it, either. In fact, I'm hoping to find one for my daughter (2 1/2) this year for Christmas. I'd rather my 4-year-old play with this than a GameBoy Advance which I've seen other 4-year-olds playing. The only thing I would say about the V-Smile Pocket is that the batteries go out on it pretty quickly, it seems. Of course, maybe that's because he plays with it 24/7.
Vtech Vsmile a possible for BF??
