Guide Review - VideoNow Color Player by Hasbro
The VideoNow Color player plays 4.25 inch VIDEONOW COLOR Personal Video Discs containing approximately 25 minutes of programs. One issue about this player is that it only plays a special format disc called PVD also marketed by Hasbro. The discs can be expensive, a typical new release retails for about $8.99. A limited selection is available for viewing. The upside about this issue is that parents can be sure that their kids are watching supervised and non-adult safe content only.
VideoNow offers shows such as Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Odd Parents, Fear Factor, Trading Spaces Boys vs.Girls, as well as exclusive discs from Hilary Duff, Tony Hawk and Raven Symone to name a few. The old VideoNow Black and White discs will still work on this player, although you will see the shows in Black and White.
This portable player is a great buy in case you are looking for electronic forms of entertainment for your kids. I have given it a 5 Star Rating, the highest possible.
