Toys and Games Reviews of InteracTV DVD System Compilation In-Pack
Customer Review: A break you can feel good about!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched this item a great deal before purchasing it. My daughter is 2 going on 3 in a few months, and she likes all of the nickalodeon cartoons and watches them often. But I wanted her to have someting a little more interactive, instead of just dead tv time. This system is super easy, she can practically do it herself. Sometimes I need to help her through something or if she doesn't understand the question she tells me she needs help and i can just rephrase it for her and then she is agian on her way. It is a great break to get a little done and not worry about what she's in or what shes up too. She plays the games over and over again. We have only had the game disc it comes with and the Barney's Birthday party. Both are great for her age and I think they helped as starters to get her used to what she was supposed to do. For her birthday in March I am planning on buying a few more to go along with it. They come with their own hard case to store it in, what a reliever. That's part of the game for my daughter, putting them back in the case and on the shelf when she's done. Great toy, great price!!!!!!! Very educational!!!!!Customer Review: NOT COMPATIBLE

BEWARE before you buy! While this looks like a great toy for 3 year olds, it only is if it works! I spent over an hour trying to program this toy to my Magnavox dvd player (just a year old). I followed all the instructions in the book, tried every code listed twice, then used the manual search for over 30 minutes. All the while with my 3 yr old asking, "is it programmed? Can I play yet?" Nothing worked. I tried over a dozen times over the course of 4 days to reach their help line. No help. They aren't accepting calls due to unusually high call volume on this product (that does not bode well). I also tried their online help which was also no help. It basically tells you the exact same thing that is in the book, then tells you to be patient. I think I as more than patient investing over 3 hours total trying to program a 3 year olds $40 toy. There is finally a link in which you are told, not all dvds are compatible with this sytem. You can then get directions to return it to Fisher-price for Fisher Price vouchers. I don't think so. I will return it to Amazon where it was purhased and then get my daughter something that works.Customer Review: Won't work at all with 4 DVD players and....
Summary: 1 Stars
even playing the "make it work" crap on their website. FOUR different brands of DVD's and two different TV's.
I even had two different neighbors try to get it to work. With no luck at all.
Don't waste your money. And of course, I ordered well ahead of Christmas(2004) and it was already too late to return it and the 2 cartridges I also bought before I even opened the box. Live and learn.....
It's now August of 2005 and as yet more than 6 families have tried making this device work with no success at all. I don't think it's broken. It shows up on the screen...it just doesn't "interact" at all, no matter what you do.
Again, I would not waste your money. Stick with self-contained devices. What ever happened to Fisher-Price and reliability going hand-in-hand? From the comments I've read on several of their products, the name brand certainly doesn't mean what it used to. On the other hand we have self-contained V-Tech machines that have worked for years with no problems whatsoever. And yet there was a time that given a choice, I would have chosen FP over VTech in a heartbeat. No longer.

Customer Review: Not all kids react with toys the same way...
Summary: 4 Stars
I was going through reading a few of the rewiews others had made, and my conclusion was that not every kid reacts to or responds to toys the same way. My son Just turned two years old, right before we got this for him for christmas. He is a wizz with this toy. If your kid can follow instructions such as sitting down, and their attention span doesn't break easy, and mommy and daddy are there to encourage him/her (with right or wrong answers) HE CAN SIT STILL TO PLAY A GAME. (as one parent questioned earlier 'how do you expect a 3 year old to just sit there?') You just have to make it seem fun and like a game. My son had absolutely no problem understanding. At first he would just point to the items on the screen when the question was asked, but after a few tries of realizing he had to push the button to go on he had no problems after that. He still has a little trouble with the spanish with Dora, but that's it. All of the others he's got down pat. And if all this states is that my son can work a toy that your four year old kid can't one- I'm really pround of my son and two- (no offense) but spend more time with your kid...Customer Review: Shouldn't Even Be On The Market!!

It's Christmas morning and I've just spent 2 hours trying to get even ONE of our DVD players to work with this thing that I ordered through Amazon. Our Go Video DVD Player/Recorder (less than 4 months old) doesn't work at all. Neither does the Toshiba. The $300 Samsung DVD-HD931 works, except for button "A"...So only 8 of 9 buttons work. This thing is worthless! [...] Meanwhile, I have two 4-year old boys who keep asking Daddy when they can play SpongeBob. Thanks alot [...] for putting me in this situation and ruining our Christmas morning. I'll never, EVER buy another product from your company because this product was obviously poorly designed and tested before it was put on the market. I have the top-of-the-line Samsung DVD Player with High Definition upconverter and this stupid product won't even work with it! I can see I made the wrong choice deciding between this and [...]. If I'd gotten [...], we'd be playing right now. Don't even waste your time or money on this product...Get something else...ANYTHING else! Thanks alot [...] for ruining Christmas for us...It won't ever happen again in our house!!
