Pros: Great value for money as this also includes batteries, a tv cable lead (For NTSC tvs although if you have a modern tv you should be able to use it no probs). Also includes a 10 in 1 games cartridge. Some decent nes games/hacks available!
Cons: Build quality is as you'd expect for this price. The dpad can be a bit fiddly at times. Sometimes a buzzing noise can be heard through the unit and also through the tv.
10 in 1 games cartridge isn't too fun.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: For the money it's worth it (Thanks Dealextreme for free P&P)! Build quality can be a bit iffy but the range of games available for this unit is awesome!
Nice to play these old games again and on the go.

Pros: This is indeed a lot nicer then expected. The game is well build and jst the right size to fit a nice and large colour screen and still fit in a pocket. I showed it to some people and they got quite excited about it, seems many people like to play those old games. The sound is nice and crisp and the screen is very very nice.
Cons: Buttons could be a bit better and when connecting to a TV set, I had to wiggle the cable back and forth a few times before it made a good contact.
Other Thoughts: This system does work on PAL TV sets, it worked with mine at least, so maybe you need a pal TV that also allows ntsc input on it's A/V port.
Bottomline: Very nice portable game system, plays a lot of nice old games, so if you're into that, you really should get it!
Great gadget for "old" people ;)

Pros: - It has a nice large TFT display, very bright (too bright I think)
- I bought also cartridges with NES games, got one of them (99B) worth every penny
- Really cheap compared to what you get.
- Excellent build quality except what I say in the Cons.
- I ordered the white one, and fortunately got a different face-plate - looks better.
- After two weeks of playing Galaga, and challenger heavily, the supplied batteries still work !!!
- The box it came in looks really professional (except for the english typos ;) )
Cons: - The build quality of the buttons needs improvement, in my console the O button keeps on squeaking all the time (apparently friction with with the plastic housing)
- Maybe a headphone jack for when I'm riding the bus and really need to hear Galaga scream..
Other Thoughts: It would be great to be able to download roms and use them with this console. Also if kensington could prepare some MegaDrive (Genesis) cartridges - PLEAAAAASE.. ;)
Bottomline: Worth every penny !!!!!
I think I'll buy a few more..
Also, no way to understand what's the difference between this one and the $1 more SKU: 4812 ..
And if the original oneStation is better or not..
Great Product! Very Cute!

Pros: My Onestation had a pink/purple/black faceplate. Which I prefered over the white and blue one (I'll upload some pics)
It's portable.
The screen is bright and sound is clear.
I like the fact that it has an AV cable so you can play this on your T.V.
Cons: If I had to put one it would be the fact you can't use ear buds with the system.
Other Thoughts: This is a great portable system. The price is great! It comes with an AV cable and a 10 in 1 game cartridge. This is so easy to use. I'm thinking of buying more for gifts.
Bottomline: At this price it's definetly worth it!
