crix101 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This thing is really cool! It is an mp3 player for kids that plays videos too! My daughter wants an mp3 player like my 30gig video zen. This is really close for alot less money. Hasbro has it for 79.00 and I have a code for $10 off $50 or more. I have the magazine at home and will post the code tomorrow. Go to Hasbro.com and search for media player. They have some neat colors too! My only complaint is the space, but I was considering the fp3 player and Im sure it is sufficient for a 7 year old.

Looking for one for my 7-year old. Thanks for any info.You can use any mp3 or wma(windows media player) files. This means you can put your mp3's on there or rip the songs off of cds and put them on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
