Which is better for playing with kids?

The Fizz Creations unit is cheaper and its separate wireless controller is easier for small hands to hold. The Connect and Play has more games, so it keeps kids busy longer, but costs $74.99.

Is the Pac-Man Connect and Play worth the extra $50?

If you will play more than PAC-MAN, yes: you get 12 games and no battery costs. If you only want PAC-MAN, the $25.23 Fizz Creations unit does the job.

Which one lasts longer?

The Connect and Play has no batteries to replace and fewer separate parts to lose. The Fizz Creations controller depends on AAA batteries and a wireless link, so it has more to go wrong.

Do either need batteries?

The Fizz Creations controller takes 3 AAA batteries, not included. The Connect and Play draws power from the TV's HDMI port and needs none.

Which is easier to set up?

The Connect and Play plugs straight into HDMI. The Fizz Creations set needs the HDMI dongle plus the USB-C cable for power, then pairing the wireless controller.

Can I take either to a friend's house?

Both are small, but the Connect and Play is one piece with no batteries or cable, so it travels more easily. The Fizz Creations set means packing the dongle, cable and controller.
