Yes it comes with a pen attachment. You're quite right, it is like the other coloured ones only it has the image of Yoda near the bottom left-hand corner.

does anyone know if there are any games suitable for a 3 year old for this? My daughter is 3 in a few weeks and was going to get her the pink one, but reading the spec on the argos site this black one is age 4+ thought they'd be 3+

The Leapfrog website recommends the Leapster 2 for 4-8 year olds, I think they are basing that on the age groups covered by the games (you can check them here).

Only had a quick go with it . To play the 1st stage for example you need to be able to recoginze numbers quickly between 1 and 10. Even if you get them wrong you still progress forward.

I am really impressed by the learning side of it. But the test will come once he gets his hands on it!

she can recognise her numbers and letters but think from looking at that website that there are adding games and stuff like that and she'd be clueless lol

I would imagine the secret of this learning system is to let your child play the games that are just ever so slightly more 'advanced' than their current level of comprehension. Help them first initially, get them interested enough to be motivated enough to play the games and learn as they go on their own?

DS was given one for his birthday on Monday. He was 5 and, having played a friends regularly, knew exactly what to do.

DD, who was 3 in July patiently waited her turn and, never having played on one, happily picked it up, got on with the Finding nemo game (from Leapster 1) then asked me to help her change it to the drawing.

the game that comes built into the system is moving around maps, line up the cursor with the number (when a letter is going past as well). DD figured it out pretty quick, so am looking to get some harder games to keep 5 yr old DS amused!

Don't forget you can access all the existing leapster games, but they just don't have the online capabilities that the leapster 2 games do. She can start on the easier ones of these and progress to the harder leapster 2 games the more she gets on with it.

I would say for £20 its well worth the money and the risk she wont play with it for a few additional months!
