The PlayMG only connects to WiFi as opposed to cell phone service and (as far as I know) there isn't any difference in WiFi between the US and the EU. So, it should work the same in Germany.

It will work anywhere. Think of it as an ipod with the Android operating system instead of Apples IOS. You can play it without wifi, but some games may require wifi so those will only work when you have the device connected to a wifi connection. Have your grandson load up a bunch of games from the Google Play store that don't require wifi before he starts his trip and he'll be able to play whether he has wifi or not. My kids LOVE theirs. And they bought theirs back when the price was a lot higher (they are learning how electronics don't hold their value). They are a GREAT deal now.

Hello Rease, Yes it successfully works with foreign operators. I used it in 3 different countries and there was no problems.

yes it works globally. for the sim card, you,d better use local operator's because of low internet fees.

I don't see why not. This system is functional in all aspects that any laptop gives you. Other than connectability in other parts of the world, that would probably be the only detail that might not work well because I have not traveled or lived in Europe yet.

Yes, it does work in Europe. You will probably have to download the Europe data base though. Navigon made in Germany and very popular there.

yes it does work, it is new with closed box, but the warranty only works in Korea, in other words, if it breaks, you can only fly to Korea to use the warranty.

Since you insert the mini card when you arrive in Germany, I really can't tell while trying here in the US just now. It worked great for us from Berlin down to Frankfurt with intermittent detours along the way, including cities in France. I would expect it to work in Luxemburg also. Sorry I can be more definitive

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

My undertanding if you activate it outside of germany, it won't work. If its helpful, activating it folling the directions was not a big deal.

Yes, I would like to know this answer too. I am a flight attendant and I travel to other countries. I was wondering too if this works in other countries so I can keep track of my runs on my layovers

Yes, it works great wherever. My grandkids have this and they love them. Ages range from 9 to 4 years.

Tablet is wi-fi based, therefore it works fine overseas. There are some applications that may be region restricted, but this will happen with any tablet.

Yes, there are no issues using it worldwide. It is easy to add multiple language support and the power adaptor is multi-voltage. I have already used it on one trip to Europe with not difficulties.
