Editorial Review
Sure, you can let your child use your laptop to watch movies or play games on a long car ride or airplane trip. But do you really want risk losing valuable work data or have sticky hands touching the keys? Hasbro's VideoNow XP is a durable 8-1/2-by-5-1/2-inch handheld video system on a smaller scale for a smaller audience. The system only plays personal video discs (PVDs) specifically designed for this player, which limits the viewing choices and gets a bit pricey as they are not rentable like DVDs. Among the viewing choices are cartoons, young adult shows and movies, and music videos. This XP model also offers interactive gaming PVDs. This mini-laptop opens up to reveal a 3-inch backlit screen, which is just big enough to follow what is happening in the show. A 180-degree rotating hinge adjusts the screen to a comfortable angle for watching on the go. Video controls are along the front of the keypad area and feature play, stop, forward, and back buttons. A four-way directional pad for gaming is located on the upper left side of the keypad. Just as with an adult laptop, the VideoNow XP has a high-quality speaker, volume and contrast controls, and DC power and headphone jacks. This system runs on three "AA" batteries. The previous incarnation of this toy was awarded the Best Toy of 2004 at the Ultimate Toy Awards Show. --Cristina Vaamonde

 video now player XP April 24, 2007
Terri (Crescent City, California United States)
All three of my kids travel a lot out of town because they are on a team. They enjoy watching their video now players because they can watch it to kill time while waiting for their turn to swim. The picture quality for adults isn't very good, but kids really don't care. They have all the cartoons memorized from when they aired on TV anyway. They love the screen being bigger than the older version, and they like the color picture. It's a small price to pay for cheap entertainment. If you want great quality, buy a real DVD player for your child, this is after all a toy!
 Not A Good Buy! January 16, 2007
Sonia (Bethel, OH)
I bought this item for Christmas '06 and I am already having problems with it! The picture quality is very poor! Also, I've had difficulty finding many of the PVD's which it uses. I would not recommend this product!

We purchased this item for our 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son for Christmas. Within the first few weeks the batteries were dead. They liked it at first but have not even asked to change the batteries since. We bought 8 different disks to go with it. It really does not hold their interest they get tired of watching all the same shows.

We received the first one in time for Christmas, but the Granddaughter upon opening couldn't get it to play. Neither could any of the grownups. So we had to return it in exchange for another one which arrived well into the 1st of the year. The second one played well and had a good pictue quality.
a good use of money February 6, 2006
u r an idiot if u read this name. (Oakland,CA)
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
I think that the toy is wonderful because you get to make your own PVDs(personal video discs) but the screen is not so big as they make it seem to be. I got mine for x-mas and I was happy. Some people say that you would be better off buying a DVD player, but face it, what idiot buys thier 3 year old an DVD player. (...) You should think about what I just typed up for you.
