The cheaper Leapster GS, which will sell for 69.99 USD, is actually a revised Leapster Explorer and being an updated version now offers a thinner chassis, a larger screen, a built-in motion sensor, 2 GB of memory and a camera/video recorder.
The Leapster GS and the LeapPad 2 will officially hit stores in the US, UK, Canada and Ireland on July 18, while customers in other countries will have to wait until August 2012.
