The kids may leave your phone and tablet alone with the MG! (Giveaway)

play mg android based gaming device giveawayAttention parents! You may get your smartphone back– without having to get your kid their own!  Play MG (M=More G=Game) is an Android based gaming system designed for young people under the age of 18. It’s got a nice-sized 4 inch touchscreen and over 60,000 apps to choose from.  Kids can use their own money to buy more apps and games, or maybe, if they get lucky, a little of mom and dad’s money instead. The MG has a sleek, modern design and will definitely fill that tech-lovers need to have a cool new gadget- at a surprising price that won’t break the bank.  The reason?  There is no contract for service.  No data plan to pay for each month.  The MG uses wi-fi.  It’s kind of like a little tablet that fits in your pocket.  It’s got photo and video capability with a 1.3 megapixel camera.  With the wifi and the camera capabilities, I think this does work more like a pocket sized tablet than a gaming system.  I think the “big names” are going to have some serious competition on their hands!

play mg with charger and protective case

The MG comes preloaded with 11 games.  Eleven.  That’s not too shabby.  The unit alone sells for $169.99 although it’s marked down to $149.99 right now AND it comes with some extras- including $10 of premium games already loaded onto the unit, an 8gb micro SD card, plus a $10 credit on the “BillMyParents” SpendSmart prepaid with Mastercard on deposit (which is where you can have your own money or the kids’ money loaded to add more games to their MG). The charger isn’t included with purchase because the device can go into any standard USB charging port.  That’s good for our earth! (And in my house, one less thing to lose track of…)

Not sure you want to have all of those games already loaded when you gift the MG?  No problem- there are 2 other options for purchase right now- one is the MG unit with a case plus charger, priced at $159.99- which comes to a $15 overall savings. Be prepared because there are 5 case colors to choose from.  Not adult colors and definitely not little kid colors- perfect for the teens and tweens who will be using this device!  The 8mg micro SD is included on all of the MG models!

The last option for purchase right now is the MG gaming system with 2 cases. This would probably be my first choice- if only because I love cases and view them as accessories first and protection second.  This runs for $169.99.  This would be an awesome holiday gift and if you wanted to add something else, you could add some cash to a “BillMyParents” card!

 

The $10 worth of top EA Mobile games ‘Need for Speed Hot Pursuit’ and ‘NBA JAM’ preloaded
• Eight Com2uS popular game titles preloaded; Slice It, Swing Shot, Homerun Battle2, Tiny Farm, Tower Defense, 9 Innings Baseball, Super Action Hero and Derby Days
• Proprietary MG Origins Avatar System: as gamers use the MG, they gain points, customize and unlock the origin= story of their own personal gaming companion
• 1.3 Megapixel Front-­‐Facing Camera and ability to shoot and play video
• Stereo Headset Jack
• Operating on ICS 4.0

Did I mention? The MG fits in your pocket!  This is going to get parents their smartphones back, my friends.  Just you wait.  Of course, I have a feeling that a few parents may start playing with the MG themselves….it’s a pretty cool device, after all. Parents can also rest assured because of Remote Trust that all MG units come with – parents can access and view anything their child is looking at, downloading or playing on the MG.

Play MG is available for purchase on their website and also on Amazon.com. This would make a marvelous gift.

Now the exciting part: one lucky reader will win a PlayMG of their own!

About Brett

I'm a 40 something lifestyle blogger living in Connecticut with my husband and our 3 kids, plus our two rescue pups. We love to hike, travel, play games, watch movies, and just be outside together! Having 3 active kids makes for a hectic schedule and I try to share content, recipes and other things that can help to make today's busy family life simpler, easier, or just plain more fun!

I started working full time at a local middle school in fall 2021 and some of my students are insistent that I am mean.

    On taxes – I keep a year long file on all important papers so everything is in one place. I feel fairly organized when I start putting things together in January. Since we usually get money back, I like to have our taxes filed by the end of February.

    I hope to win this and recover my phone from the kids! I love that the card comes with it to load THEIR money to! It has so many cool features I jut know my kids will love it!!

  40. Eileen says

    Well my relevant info regarding tax organization is to by an accordion folder to place important info in each month. We also have a med file and a farm account that is NOT so organized. Sometimes you have TOO many organizers and then that defeats the purpose. Having a bigger one with compartments for receipts, bank or medical information, donations, etc might be better. Keep it all in one place.

    Next best tip…DONT procrastinate!!!!!!!

  50. Jackie says

    This is something that i have never seen before seeing it here…I would LOVE to have this for my 10 year old as he is always asking me to play games on my laptop, tablet, or phone and i am always afraid he is going to mess something up…This is an excellent idea and i hope i win!!

    This sounds great that its pre-loaded with 11 games for the kids. Its funny how the young ones (mine anyhow) seem to know more about tech stuff then I do LOL they seem to have the phone more than I do. Keeps them busy and occupied on busy trips to the doctors or the stores so that sure helps . Would love to win one. THANKS

  82. thuy vu says

    Last year I was pretty unorganized with prepping to do my taxes, and so it took about a week to finish.

  93. Adella Gonzalez says

    I can’t wait to play Need for Speed Hot Pursuit! That’s my game!!!! I can’t wait to check out this systems speed! Woohoo!

  101. Michelle.A. says

    I love that the kids will have their own device to use. This is a great idea. I also love that it comes with games on it.

  102. Molli Vandehey says

    i am not even a teeny bit organized for taxes but am determined to be VERY eearly this year!!!!!

  107. Molli Vandehey says

    wow! i did not know there was a way to let the kids have all the phone fun without a phone! looks so much sturdier than my very expensive phone , too!!! cool!

  111. Leslie Galloway says

    I think my daughter would love that it has a camera. She loves taking pictures and videos of herself!

  113. Aimee C. says

    I love its specified for young ones and has NBA Jam preloaded, awesome for my youngest whose brother is always on his machines and hes left with nothing 🙂

  152. Eileen says

    • Eileen says

      Just noticed you ask for user name. Is it not our email already in the form? Mine is always the same. Sorry

  229. Jenny says

    I love the fact that it comes with 11 games already downloaded…..and it’s small and has camera capibilities……..Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

  242. Trisha W. says

    Tax organization tip ~ put all tax related documents in a file folder throughout the year. That will save time trying to find them come spring.

  246. Trisha W. says

    I like that there is no service contract for this device and that there are 60,000 apps to chose from.

  251. becky barrett beitzel says

    i like that it can go on an usb port. i have lots of those around here! one less charger to try and remember what it goes to

  256. Leah CB says

    I like that it has a camera. Both of my girls would love that, plus that means no more playing with mom & dad’s phone!

  268. Heather S says

    I like that they thought ahead and included the case with the system. It seems you get nickel and dimed with accessories when you buy a new piece of electronics.

  271. Heather S says

    I love that it’s on a droid platform. My kids constantly want my phone… perfect substitute!

  287. debbie jackson says

  313. Laura Miller says

    I love that I can load the phone with his allowance money. I can also use it as an incentive to doing well at school…more A’s more money!

  315. Estelle S says

    The feature I love is the prepaid cards! Especially since my son just bought a 76 dollar in app purchase in iTunes on my iPad!!!!
