    I have loaded a couple of mp3s to try and they play fine, however, I have not managed to get it to display any JPEGs. Do they have to be a particular resolution or put into a sub-directory or something?

    Click on the help button on the Juice Box software for an excellent step by step guide to download picture files (or let your children read it and tell you how to do it like my eight year old does!)

    also, I have emailed Mattel to see if they can help, I'll let you know the outcome of that.

    Thanks to the OP for the heads up about the free media chip in the instore clearance leaflet. After pointing out the offer to member of staff, they checked inside the box to see if it came with the free media chip, it didn't, so they went and got me one :T

    I have reserved one of these, I know there only a fiver, but whats the point if you can only get 1 or 2 video disks?

    My daughter got a MP3 player for Xmas.

    Can you not make your own videos for it? does it come with software for converting this?

    Is it on the flyer instore? what is the media chip thing? does it come with the memorycard reader and stuff in the box?

    thanks

  • Just to let you know, these have been discontinued by Mattel and there are no new chips for it. The only videos you can get for it are a few Cartoon Network shows, a few obscure music videos and some even more obscure sport/wrestling videos.

    my DD loves hers, and for little 6yo fingers the big buttons and colour screen make navigation for her easy, but, to be honest if you already have an MP3player then dont bother with one of these.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!:mad:
    Cos if you do it today and like it...You can do it again tomorrow.. :p

  • Depends on what you are after, forget the video's. But my DD lovers hers for the photo's and mp3. Looks like a will be adding a bigger SD card. But for 6 quid you cannot go wrong.

    As a matter of interest what video have people found, this machine would have been ace if you could have downloaded your own video.
