|Released by the 3-Plus circa 2005. DVD-Kids is a rare Icelandic console that plugged into your DVD Player. It's unknown how many units were sold, how many game were made for it or when it was discontinued.
|-
|style="background:gainsboro;"|Hasbro Ion
|-
|Released in time for the 2005 Holiday season, the Ion is basically a PS2 Eye-Toy turned into an edutainment console for preschoolers. At the time, the Ion was turning heads at toy fairs, hype was building, and the console was looking to be a real hit for Hasbro, but for whatever reason, the console flopped and disappeared into obscurity faster than the refunds could be made, it's unknown how many games were made for it, how many units sold or when it was discontinued.
|-
|style="background:gainsboro;"|Interac TV
|Old edutainment console released in 1988. It featured a robot-type character called Socrates and had wireless infrared controllers. The same company would later release the V.Smile and V.Flash systems many years later.
