 
Hasbro Nerf Showtime Hoops Interactive Indoor Gaming System
Rating:  -
Just purchased this indoor hoop for six year old son's birthday (although his 9 yr old brother plays as well). I was worried about the height of it after reading reviews, but it fit in our basement fine. i wish that somewhere online it had said the minimum ceiling height requirement. Sure enough, that measurement is on the instructions so here it is: 86 inches
The box it came in was gigantic--way bigger than what i was expecting. Anyway, the hoop was quite easy to assemble and didn't require any special tools or expertise. We had it assembled in less than 15 minutes for sure. Then we plugged it in and we started to play! My boys LOVE it!!!!! I've never seen anything like it. The spotlight feature is really unique and makes it a ton more entertaining. The man's voice who speaks on it can get annoying after awhile, but my boys think he's funny. (Thankfully, you can turn his voice OFF.) I think NERF really thought about the details when designing it. Volume controls, many games to choose from, optional MP3 player, drink dispenser, ball holder, adjustable hoop, non battery operated, etc.
Only drawbacks: ball doesn't really bounce and apparently will wear out quickly. Also, it has a place for 2 balls to be stored and it only comes with one. I hope they come out with replacement balls that can be bought separately.
Overall i'm a big fan of this hoop. And when my boys have friends over, that's usually the first thing they want to play with now instead of gameboys/playstations etc. YAHOO NERF!!!!! Thank you!

We did experience, after 5 days, lose of scoring mechanism. Also, the ball split. Amazon was 110% helpful with the exchange. We kept our box, re-packaged and were given a new one. So far, 2 months later, scoring is working. Ball did split, even on carpented surface. 9 year old boys have a blast with this game! Our son says it's the best gift ever!

This is a great indoor basketball hoop. It is perfect for the winter time when your inside more. Both my kids love it. I have a son that is 8 years old and a daughter that is 5. My husband and I even play. Enjoy.

I bought the showtime hoops for my daughter for Christmas, she absolutely loves it! We live in Ohio so when it snows she can't practice her basketball outside, with this in the house she practices her shooting skills practically everyday, especially with it being interactive...different games, music, etc. she doesn't get bored!! Great item, I highly recommend for any kids (even adults) that are active with basketball.

We had the same experience as another reviwer. Our system stopped keeping score after 3 days of playing. It was very disappointing to have to wait around for the manufacturer to send a mailing label to us(10 business days) to send it back and then they wanted us to wait another few weeks to receive the new part. They can't expect a young kid to wait that long for a toy that expensive. We finally took it back to Toys R Us and bought a new one from Amazon(eToys). So far, this one is working well. The shipping costs plus the price of the system were still less than the Toys R Us price.
