Amazon.com Product Description
Looking for the perfect Barbie Girl? Be sure and check out our full selection of Barbie Girls and accessories at Amazon.com. The world seems a lot smaller these days thanks to connective technology such as MP3 players, cell phones, PDAs, the Internet, and more. So what better way for girls to go global than with this Barbie Girl device? Barbie has been at the forefront of trendsetting for nearly 50 years and now she's offering today's young girls a way to share their passion for fashion, music, and chat with their bffs. At barbiegirls.com girls can create their own, personalized online space—everything from designing a "room" to creating a character—where they can then play games, chat with gal pals, watch videos, and even shop with earned virtual money. Word filters, moderation tools, and other safety features ensure that the virtual world stays friendly and fun to all visitors, but the added security and benefits of this Barbie Girl device are ingenious.  | | Create a look that's all your own -- from hair, eyes, and skin tone to clothing, accessories, and makeup. |
The Barbie Girl device is basically an MP3 player with attitude. First, it offers a range of customizable fashions and accessories, delivering the next generation of fashion doll play. Second, it is a music device with 512 MB of on-board memory (able to hold about 120 MP3 or 240 WMA-file songs). Third, the Barbie Girl device acts as a "key" for girls who have a room on barbiegirls.com. Girls who have this device and who have physically connected them into one another's computer docking stations can become "best friends" and chat in "secret." It adds a more personal touch to the site experience and an extra layer of safety for parents. The device comes with a secret code, as well, that once entered on the site can allow its user to unlock additional pets, games, hangouts, fashions, and more. To get additional secret codes, girls will have to buy more Barbie accessories, hunt them down on the Internet, or possibly ask their new online friends. Barbie Girl Gold comes with two hairstyles, two faces, two tops, a skirt, a pair of pants, boots, and wedges that can be interchanged to match the owner's current mood and style. The tech gadget also includes adjustable earbuds, a belt clip, and a durable storage case so it's easy to take everywhere. Extra packs of fashions, pets, and accessories are sold separately and offer the ability for girls to make their Barbie Girl as unique as themselves.  | | Dazzling Nails is one of three games you can play online to earn B bucks. |
The online world of Barbie Girls offers plenty of time killing fun and lets girls earn more B bucks to spend on virtual accessories. There are three games that can be played over and over, each one taking about 5 minutes to complete and rewarding players with 10 B bucks. Dazzling Nails lets you paint and decorate a set of nails (you can even select rings to go on the hand's fingers), and then allows you to print out the design so you can wear the nails, too. Mix a Music Video lets you choose one of five songs then add in an animated background, icon, and character to create a unique music video. Give Ken a New Look lets you makeover Barbie's boyfriend so she'll notice him again. There are plenty of outfits, cars, careers, and more to choose from for his new style.  | | Barbie's world is chock full of places to visit and things to do. |
Also online is a small town filled with things for your Barbie Girl to do. There are boutiques, a pet store, and a furniture store to shop in. There's a salon for beauty tips and a café for a quick jolt of caffeine. There's even a movie theater where you can see trailers for upcoming movies -- and earn 20 B bucks for every one you watch. Or you can just stroll around the park and see what other Barbie Girls are up to. Whether it's an introduction to online communities or old hat to your 9-year-old, the Barbie Girls world is a friendly, fun, and safe place for girls to spend time. Tech Specs

 Great multiple use mp3 and gaming device for the "tween" set September 10, 2007
A Parent (Bristol, TN)

I read the reviews on this site (and several others) before I cautiously purchased this item for my 9 yr old daughter's birthday. I even saved my reciept, anticipating a quick return to the store. I must say I am VERY impressed with this toy. The software was easy to install. I had over 50 songs in the device (without buying a memory card) and my daughter was playing on the Barbie Girls website in less than an hour. The mp3 player uses Windows Media Player and the installation CD basically walked you through music transfer. It is not compatable with iTunes, but any mp3 files transferred with no problems. The controls on the device are similar to an iPod shuffle - but, I like the elongated, "remote control" looking shape better for her age - it will be easier to find the first time it is lost in the couch! My daughter loves the Barbie Girls website - it is similar to Webkinz with games, clothing, room design, etc. There is a chat feature on this site and parents are able to control the amount of privacy. She has still not been through the entire website - there is a lot for a girl to do. Where else can you get a computer game, an mp3 player, and a dress up "doll" for around fifty dollars? I thought the price was very fair.
PERFECT! My daughter loves it!! July 31, 2007

My daughter just turned 5 and she got this for her birthday. She LOVES it! It was easy to set up and transfer music (instructions were helpful and easy to read). Very easy to turn up/down volume and switch back and forth to different songs. She always liked to use my iPod, but it was too difficult for her. This Barbie Girls MP3 player is going to be a hit with many, many girls! My daughter is still alittle young to go online to the Barbie Girls website, but older girls will love that too!
Very happy with Barbie Girls MP3 Player January 9, 2008

Both my daughters wanted this item & I refused to pay the original price tag. When the price went down, I immediately jumped at buying it. I gave it to my 6 & 10 year old for Christmas & they love it. They had been playing on Barbie girls website for awhile & were not having any fun not being able to do all the things available. Now they love the site & play on it all the time. There favorite is having a pet & doing the makeovers :)
As for the MP3 player it is very nice. The software is easy to install & it was easy getting songs uploaded to it. I was able to put all the songs they wanted on it & they still have room. My oldest uses the clip & clips it right to her jeans, it has been holding up well so far. It seems like a nice durable product!
6 Months after Christmas and it still gets the most use! June 4, 2008

The Barbie Girls MP3 player is a great way to introduce small children to electronics. I purchased two of these for a 5 year old and a 6 year old, and they both LOVE them.
Some of the complaints here I think are directed at an older audience, such as the volume being low. As a parent, I'm GLAD the volume is low because I don't want my kids cranking up the tunes too loud anyway. It's true that you can't see what song is coming up next, but really, my 5 and 6 year old don't care.
Plus, 6 months after Christmas, when most of the toys are broken or forgotten, these MP3 players are still in constant rotation. This was the best buy this past holiday season
Totally Fantabulistic!!! December 28, 2007
Gina Ice (Snellville, GA USA)
Santa brought this for my 9 year old daughter who is a Webkinz fanatic. She had this on the top of her Santa List! For me, the software is easier than I-tunes (uses Media Player) and we had her CD's burned in no time! She also got the 'deco pak' that you can order and has decorated the ear buds. It is so cute! You can't beat the deal with having an online play area that is safe with parent controls and an MP3 player to carry around! I even sat with her and we watched the 'movies' and listened to the 'songs' on the Barbie Girl world----all totally age appropriate and Barbie-like such as the 12 Princesses and Mermania! You can't get a better toy they will play with all year long!
