Addendum: The warranty is only ninety days, and on the forum an awful lot of people are running into major issues after the warranty runs out, but not more than a year after they bought the toy. For $300. I want something that will last a year, anyway.

Bello!

$300. for something that wiggles, blinks, shuffles and holds a plastic leak in it's mouth? I don't get it.

That because your current judgement is only a fraction of why this impressive piece of technology costs $300.

Not only by what it can do feature-wise, but the extensive research and development that has gone into Pleo.

Technically speaking, this is the most advanced robot marvel you can get your hands on as a consumer for this kind of price.

You think 300 is a lot of bucks?

Try looking for second hand AIBO dogs (as Sony doesn't make them anymore).

They go anywhere from 1000 to 3000 dollars!

Aibo was marvelous, yes. Pleo has more advanced technology than any toy on the market, yes. But it's a crying shame that despite all of the time and money Ugobe has put into it, it still doesn't do anything any flashier than D-Rex, a toy half Pleo's price. Nevermind all of the mechanical problems people are talking about at the Pleoworld forums.

I see where the money went, but I don't think the results were what they could have been.

[Darkwolf1982]

To that I agree.

They wanted to do more and more can be done with -for instance- the camera system.

Still, putting into context it's a good price.

Especially because it's open source, although I am not sure or they have finally released the PDK yet. Something they also promised.

I disagree about D-Rex being just as flashy, since D-rex is more of a toy then a companion.

Maybe it's not "flashier" but certainly it has more features and is more of a companion then any other toy out there IMO.
