Does the LeapsterGS have an SD slot? How about a headphone jack? Thanks!

Yes on the headphone jack. No on the SD, but it has a proprietary slot for Leapster game cartridges which are backward compatible with the older Leapster handheld. It does have a mini-USB cord for connecting to the computer.

Has slot for games and has head phone jack. I ordered the bundle and it actually came with the headphones

OKAY! Thanks. We're due to receive it on Wednesday so I'll know in a couple days. I just need to get my kid off my phone, wanting to play apps all the time. So, I hope it'll at least be good for that. It would be cheaper than the leappad systems/tablets if so!

I am also having the same problem, as I'd like to buy a Leapster for my grandson who is a lefty. I bought my granddaughter the original Leapster two years ago and he wants the same one. However I'm afraid there won't be any games available after about a year. Yet with the Leapster 2 doesn't look to be lefty friendly with the stylus on the right backside. The only thing I can think of is to cut the cord.

Did it work? I hope so. I tried emailing Leapfrog and they just gave me a generic answer that didn't help. For anyone else needing help with this just click on the "Storybook" game and play through it all the way to the end. It unlocks all the other games. Hope I helped.Also, regarding batteries... I recommend the AC adapter for when you are home if you can use it. Leapfrog.com sells it for under $10.00. (Depends of course if your child will sit still to play it.) Take care!

I have a leapster gs and it works for that system! Honestly I now go to store to buy them. They r very misleading on what game system to use. Confused me! I'm am prob not a huge help but all that aside my 4 yr old loves this game!

There are some videos on the "web access" that are free, but all games are extra, and some of them really are expensive. However, they make great Christmas gifts/birthday gifts AND you can find the LeapFrog Explorer game cartridges (which fit the LeapPad Ultra) at garage sales and on craigslist! HTH!

We have a Leap Pad and it works with it. The box says it works with Leapster Explorer but since we don't have one I cannot confirm 100% it will.

Hi H. Sexton-Which leapster do you have? It looks like each new game is $20+ for the Leapster 2. Thanks.

Hi Ted, Unfortunately this model doesn't comes with SD slot, it's something I still don't understand why. Though mine came with 1 year free Dropbox included. I got many apps and songs and still have 3gb memory free. Is up to you how much memory you need to use.

If you look at the picture of the box it says "Leapster GS" so it should be fine. Most of these games can be used by various systems. Hope that helps.

I don't see why not, as long as the leapfrog has a standard headphone jack. My girls use these for several media devices, and we've never had a problem.

You probably already got one, but my concern would be the dropping. My 4 year old has dropped his leapster so many times and I wouldn't get him a DS for a few years because of it. If they could be responsible I think the DS would be cool. I will upgrade probably when he is around 7ish and maybe get one for his brother depending on if he can do it when he is 5 or just get another Leapster or pass brother's down.

we own the original leapster but from any knowledge that ive had I am about 90% sure they made the leapster two so it can still play all the old games. but a leap pad and leapster are two different components all together so a leapster2 yes a leap pad im gonna say no.

I called Leapster with that question and they do not rec rechargeable batteries b/c they aren't as strong as reg batteries even when they are new and thus the game may not work properly. Logically though, I'm wondering the diff. in the batt pack and rech batteries. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is the one or not,but if you check the leapfrog website directly they DO sell one...but I don't want to buy this one until I find out for sure its the right one. It says it does not work with leapster explorer...and since the leappad and the explorer seem to share everything else...I just don't know! Someone please help us!

Hi. I have both handheld versions, which I love both. Though I do have to say that my vpocket is doing something funky, and that disappoints me because neither systems get used enough to be in poor shape. I really take care of them. I was looking to by the vflash, but read some terrible reviews, and then again, they just did a toy review toy special on TV and gave it a thumbs way up high from all the kids and teachers who played with it for over 2 months, kids were engaged just watching other kids play - and of course, teachers loved it because of the educational value. I think looking for kick butt graphics and the like is hopeless in the educational department. Between my two handheld versions, I would call them close to equal, with Leapster being ahead.

No they have different battery packs.... So it won't work for the GS. Leapster does have a charging pack for sell. Do a search for the recharger for leapster GS. Amazon does have one for sell just under $30
