I am thinking about this for my 5 year old son and was wandering what all he needs for it and where are the best deals for this system
Any help is much appreciated
 
He just needs the TAG pen and whatever books. You will need a computer to hook it into to download the content onto the pen (it can hold 5-6 books at time). It is a really neat system. Do a search on here, and you will find all sorts of coupons and deals right now.
 
Right now (expires tomorrow) Target has a $10off coupon in their christmas toy book and Leapfrog has a $5off coupon on their website. These would make for the TAG reading set a good price.
 
There are three "versions" of the regular Tag reader:

1. Comes with the "Ozzie & Mack" book. It has 16 MB of memory and holds about 5 books. This was the first released. It is available in pink and green. This version will also read Tag Jr. books.

2. Comes with "The Cat in the Hat" book. It has 32 MB of memory and holds about 10 books. It is a more recent release. It comes in pink or green. This version will also read Tag Jr. books.

3. School Tag reader. Only available online from leapfrogschoolhouse.com. Has about 80 MB of memory and can hold about 25 books. This one requires different software to use and will NOT read Tag Jr. books. It is also considerably more expensive and there is a lag time between when books are released and when they can be put onto the School Tag.

I have all three versions. I would recommend choice number 2 (it is a good mix of holding quite a few books and lower price. If you want to hold more books at a time than 10, it is cheaper to use the coupons and buy two readers than to get the orange one. I bought my School Tag before the 32 MB one was available or I probably wouldn't have gotten it. As a previous poster mentioned, there is a Target coupon for the Tag reader and there is also a $10 off coupon for it floating around (do a search on the board and you should be able to find it).

There is also a Tag Jr. reader. It will only read the Tag Jr. books and will not read regular books. It looks like a two snowball snowman. This is NOT the one you want.
 

Darn! I didn't know about the Cat in the Hat tag version! I just spent $70 on the school tag version because ds has 2 tags and both are out of memory. I just figured I was better off buying the school tag since he enjoys the books so much. Oh well. Live and learn.

this is the one they have in Target/TRU(matched it in an ad) for $39.99.

normally its $49.99. The Disney one from TRU I posted is about $56, but now is for $49.99
