*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods.

They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. | *Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client.
