Niebski Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Johns Hopkins CTY has this 6 CD set for sale for $150... has anyone used it or heard tell if it's any good? This is WAY too much $$ unless it's spectacular! We're in need of new educational computer games... Thanks, Sue http://cty.jhu.edu/cde/cove/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I haven't seen them, but I do see mention of them occasionally on the TAGMAX list. The reviews are always good, even given the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimseycat Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi, My son (11) is using Descartes Cove right now for enrichment. They are really well done and certainly make you think! I highly recommend them. There was a promotional code going around that you could use to get the CD's for half price. I will dig around and see if I can find it for you.

KAR120C Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Everyone I know who uses them thinks they're great... except DS. He tried them out briefly and hated them. *sigh* Fortunately it was at a friend's house, so I wasn't out the $150 or whatever. The odds are greatly in your favor -- seriously he's the only kid I know who hates them (although I've heard of a few who got bored before a year was out) -- but if there's any way you could try out someone else's first it might be worth the effort.

Niebski Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks! I'd LOVE the half-price code if you could find it! My kids will want something on the computer for the summer :) Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimseycat Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi Sue, Here is the code for you to try to get Descarte's Cove for half off. The code is LAUNIFIEDGT. I don't think it works for an online order. I believe you have call to use the code. There is a phone # on their website to phone in orders. I hope this still works for you! Good Luck!

Niebski Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Great, I'll try it! Thanks :) Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen in SEVA Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I am considering these... are any of you planning to sell yours in the next year or so? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanM Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I thought this looked really cool, but we just don't have the $$ right now. If for some reason the 1/2 off code doesn't work, it is available at the homeschool buyer's coop for 1/3 off. https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/index.php?option=com_epp_offer&Itemid=689 Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annika Thanks, I was about to purchase this through the Homeschool buyer co-op for $45 off, but half is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
