Download card's Mystery solved

I am very sure I have not been the only parent trying to get to grips with the exact value of the Leapfrog download cards. As we fall in to the "Other Countries" heading in the App Center, and the cards being sold in the shops have no displayed value, it can be hard to gauge exactly what you will be getting for your Buck.

Thanks to the amazing staff at Take a lot .com  I can now answer this question.

The Download card,  that looks like this, is worth 20 LeapFrog Dollers. So you will need 1 of these to download an Ultra eBook for example. Or you can buy a few cheaper  apps. 

20 LeapFrog Dollar Card From Takealot.com will cost you R172  

That is the best price I have found in SA.

(They have stock right now and if you ask nicely they will email you the code so you don't have to wait)

  

Best Buy on App center Download Cards in SA.

Being able to download apps and games was one of the big selling points for me when deciding to buy  LeapPads for my kids. 

Since the download cards are cheaper than the cartridge games and you can put downloaded apps on 2 LeapPads at once,  for me it made a whole lot of sense, as I have 2 kids and 2 LeapPads and really don't want to deal with fighting over who gets to play what game. 

As I mentioned in My review of the LeapPad, I was disappointed finding out that,  living in South Africa, my choice of downloadable apps and games was limited and that if I wanted to access the full range of downloads I would have to source imported download cards. 

Well thanks to Take a lot .com a not so little South African online store I can get the imported cards at a very reasonably price.
