I learned a little, had fun with it but never went after it really hardcore.

So recently I realized the need for learning Spanish and I turned to Rosetta Stone. I was poking around their site and it turns out, they just began offering a program for learning Irish. I just ordered the Latin American Spanish program so I'm going to hold off on pulling the trigger on the Irish lessons. Either way, I thought it was pretty cool that Rosetta Stone now offers Irish!
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on Rosetta Stone and how effective you feel the program is once you get into it for awhile. I've been thinking about getting the Spanish but don't want to buy the hype. I want to hear the pros/cons from someone who has used it, not commercial marketing.
