Both of my boys have got them, they don't use them all the time but they seem to go back them every couple of weeks, also very good on journeys, stops them getting bored in the car.

Most my family have them They're not only good for kids. I haven't used mine for a few months, but I haven't been in a gaming mood "Can't really be arsed to play me PS3 either).

The multiplayer option using 1 game cartridge in 1 console, but can have upto 8 players is very good

The "Brain" games are very good, which is why most adults buy them. My son and Nephew have been playing Lego Batman on multiplayer for the past few weeks

Me and Kai have one, they are great Peter, I have a Nintendogs game that I got last year for Christmas but I've never played on it, it's the Labrador one and it's still got the cellophane round it. You can have it if you want, I won't be playing with it

to be honest there are better card than the R4 - i had this and found it would not support SDHC cards and will only support upto 2gb SD cards.

I got rid of my R4 card and bought a nintendo edge card which can support upto 32gb SDHC cards.

http://www.pinpointgames.com/nintend.../prod_112.html

or

I recently ordered one for a friend from amamzon with a 4gb card for 32 quid delivered

derekd - that is cheap.

RSToy - you want to buy the card in the link by derekd - thats cheap and she will never lose games again as she will not need to remove the card anymore.

I assume you can you put more than 1 game on each microSD card using these R4 and EDGE adaptors?

If you had say 5 games on 1 cartridge, how do you choose which game you want to play?
