My six year old wanted this toy last year, and we held off in hopes that they would make it color and improve it. He got it this year and it is color, but I have yet to make it work. The first one that we got did not work out of the box. It jumped and skipped so badly that you couldn't watch it, so I returned it for a second one. The second one has a good picture, but no sound! We also got the headphones to go with it, and we can't get them to work either. I'm going back to the store one last time, and not leaving until they prove to me that the one I leave with will work. I'm not anticipating that this will be a toy that lasts long.
