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

 Not worth it. March 22, 2008

My kids wanted this for Christmas so I got them one. It played good, but buying the movies that you could only watch in this machine was a money waster. You can get a dvd player that you can watch any movie on and you would be better off.

Are you a child who has always wanted a portable video player? Well I am! And thanks to the XP, I can take my fave shows almost anywhere!
I've had no problems with it so far, its way better than the other VideoNow Colour (Color.) It keeps you entertained when there's nothing on TV, you can watch many cartoons such as SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents!
Its also backwards compatible, which means it can play discs from previous VideoNows!
I love this item!
Buy it today and you'll love it!
good, good...some cons April 18, 2006

I love it! it's really light weight and portble. The batteries do go dead without the charger and the PVDs should have more then 30 minutes-60minutes. I like this video now alot. Calling it a toy is a little far fetched but it's wonderful. I hope you buy it!

Happy with the system, but frustrated with finding appropriate videos for my six year old February 12, 2006

My 6-year old son received the VideoNow XP for his 6th birthday from my sister. She also bought him the Scooby Doo interactive movie. He enjoys the movie, but gets frustrated with getting past each point. Overall he enjoys his new toy.
My frustration, however, is that I have looked online for more videos, and it shows them, but says they are currently unavailable. That I have seen for the past few weeks. Target has a very limited number of the PVD's and most I don't feel are appropriate for my six year old ie, the older kid shows. I would like to see more educational interactive movies, because after getting through the Scooby show, I think my son has become bored with it..............
