Sony unveils Rolly audio player

[144Slaya]

350 for this rotating egg, and 300 for a ps3, which one should I choose? -_-

[ndogg20]

This would be entertaining for all of about 5 minutes.Then end up in the museum of useless artifacts in the back of the kitchen odds and ends draw.

[owner743]

its will very cheap in pakistan

[CrazyRussian188]

I could buy another ps3 for that price

[PeaceMotherLover]

I found a use for this useless contraption, i use it to entertain my dog :]

[Ginounknown]

350 dollors..... that just makes it gay... it should be like 50 dollors max!!

[Spetznaz]

most stupid usseless objetc ever

[ArT1Tuvsho]

its not that expensive!!! but kinda is and its freakin cool

[ogskeetdizzle]

what a useless peice of crap, way to go technology fail.

[sensiroots]

GAY

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

Wait.. you have to PROGRAM the movements yourself?

What is this, the 1980's? No one wants to program something! If they EVER wanted it to turn into a major commercial product..well.. maybe they should have made it "set and forget."

Idiots. And their profits (or loss thereof) reflect that insult.

[lombardo48]

@ORUPRANKSTAZ

you CAN program it yourself, but we live in the future. The software can program itself to the music.

so you can chosse to be creative an make it yourself, or let the computer work for ya.

[SonyRollyBoy]

You can if you want to make your own dance but you do not have to

[biplav91]

u know that its not that complex to program its movements right

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

@biplav91

You say "not that complex." How about "it shouldn't be complex at all?"

[biplav91]

k its not complex

[csithiphong]

GREAT, another thing that i want but way out of what i can afford... Bull.!

[Bay13232]

O ya it sells for $10,000 what does it do just get a ipod

[Heal4World]

It's cute,but for an flapping-egg it's expensive as heck

[stompee500]

pretty cool but expensive peice of chit if u ask me...

[Sahadi420]

Neat little gadet, but who really wants to stare at their mp3 player?? BTW i'd like to know how long one of those things last before they break. I'll keep my nano.

[Bazanteria]

who needs that

[dempster32]

greatttttttttttttttttttttttt

knowone's gunna but it lol

sell it for £100 and maybe you will sell a couple

[Battybribri]

I'm afraid it would run away :P

[dizzee1391]

how ling will this fad last

[lljjbuddy]

Um.... waste of time

[supra796]

no point.....really big waste of time and money

[makstad]

Like Furby and Disco Balls... unless human entertainment is considered... then it's a go!

[TicTacTraLaLa]

If you hear your music from the street, your player fell down to the street.

[rubiks15]

Road trip to tokyo!!

[Manny32V]

??????????????????????????????­?

[Dojan5]

Hmm. I like the concept.

Like, dump the movements, it's just ridiculous. But the way of changing songs and volume. I like it. Add a display and make it less bulky big, more like the size of a rather large pen. Could be cool.

[gunsnroses123456789]

wally!!

[serasgotwings]

bought one , and now i am buying another...lol, i never stop grinning when i turn it on! the rolly that is..well done sony

[tnissirios4115]

this thing is no that point less. it is a cool electronic. but i think its alittle to complex. why would u spend so much money on a small "toy". sony doesnt even have that good of a sound. just buy a bose system.

[SoNiCxBlaCK]

Just incase there is anyone who doesn't completely dislike the song and wants to know the name of it, Its:

Scenario Rock - Skitzo Dancer (Justice Remix)

[JRSTAR666]

This gadget really seems pointless.. and what good is an online community going to do (sharing moving patterns) if the Rolly only has 6 possible moves, as was previously said in the video.

[GlitchBust3er]

all i wonder is that those side look flimsy and could snap by wind, but its probaly quite strong

[toastface5]

pointless... just pointless... buy an iPod :)

[CroatianNumba1]

Dis gon earn sony 1.3 billion dollaz in 3.2 years. I know cuz I am Sony!

[jaw2floor]

lol £200 on ebay :P

[fcpictures]

i want tiny musical football!

[ellybelly125]

bahh £217 to expensive

[Dshmokiez]

Cheaper then in USD I want one :>

[0815tobey]

we have problems with rubbish dumps, and now rubbish is beeing produced, just to be rubbish.

omg

[SuperMoo332]

it would be awesome in ur pocket would feel so funny lol

[maitsepolitsei]

omfg robots take over the world i think!!!!111

[BonAquak]

hey you just miss the point

its just fking sweeeet! i tell ya, if this have voice recognition and can be connected via bt like handsfree, imagine yours kids making calls with you, its like small pet what can play music and talk..

i certenly like it and if i had money to burn i will buy it

[MrToadMaster]

All I ask of my stereo is to stay where I fucking put it. Idiotic idea.

[anarhy09]

u don't buy this to replace ur 400W system in the first place.

[Zyphon400]

u suck

[Abbycrombie708]

that is soooo stupid.

[yellownapeamazon2]

xsactly

if it would follow your around that would be better

[OLSchoolFan]

This thing responds very very well ti Michael Jackson music such as the remix of "Wanna Be Startin Somethin" with Akon.

[MeebleMeeble]

really too bad they felt cornered by the iPod and decided to release this instead of developing Qrio

[NinjaWorldProd]

They Kill Aibo and make this, what are they thinking, The ERS-7 played streaming music and was a heck of a lot more fun. I give 10 minutes of play time with this before you get board.

[pspslim]

THIS LOOKS LIKE SONY QRIO

[eddyfunkboy]

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. I'd rather just listen to music than have my listening pleasure interrupted by SOME LITTLE BLOODY ANNOYING FUCKING WHITE THING SPINNING AROUND ON MY TABLE.

WHAT'S THE POINT???

[36016]

Any advancement, even if perceived to be pointless or stupid, might somehow spark an idea to the creation of something very useful... That's how progress works...

[eddyfunkboy]

In my opinion this isn't progress. It's a waste of time.

Oh, and don't be patronising.

[36016]

I understand what you mean, but what I'm talking about is something like "Miuro". It can fallow you around the house. I think it's still has a few bugs to work out, but give it a few years, it'll be something very useful. Imagine your cleaning the house. Even if you have a top of the line system, it's still stuck in one part of the house. With Miuro, it can follow you everywhere. I've heard it has very high quality sound as well.

[skilletpanhead]

just as u said this is YOUR oppinion not THEIR oppionion

[eddyfunkboy]

lol I don't understand what your point is? 'Opinion' only has one 'p' by the way.

[skilletpanhead]

nvm lol

[fuckinreload]

Охуеть можно

[MistiiClips]

id rather sony re-release QRIO again

[pspslim]

QFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lakepccd]

i can imagine trying to pick it up with that mad shouting song playing. i'd be like "ahh! holy shit!"

[chatqueen31087]

you can play football and when you make a touchdown you can have a vistory dance with music!!!!!!!!

[juan193]

baila.. lo programas pero solo esta en japon y ese es su unico idioma ocupas widnows en japones pa hacerlo

[swishxx]

y eso que hace ?¿

[a123shlene]

You guys are boring. When you see an advertisement for a smaller version of this, the iPod rings a bell? You love it because people dance with it making you feel it's the best.

Now when someone plays on another idea which is even more practical from a less interesting company, you cringe and say it sucks. People today suck.

[cholo11]

WTF, I get nothing from my damn mp3 dancing, it takes the fun. besides its a ridiculous price for that, I'd rather buy a Microsoft Zune for a lower price and the best quality mp3 in stores. Btw that thing its huge and non practical.

[ArashixArashi]

you should go buy a zune then. I dont think this is really supposed to be compared to mp3 players. its someone of a stereo or a toy or just a conversation piece i guess... something to collect? buy yeah, and i dont know why you would want it any smaller than that.

[cholo11]

Maybe not to carry something as big as your head just to watch it go around?

And a 400 dollar toy? Insane. Something to collect? Its not some fucking piece of art you know? It just spins. Thats it, no big deal, why get all crazy because I say the truth about it? If you want to waste your money, go ahead buy it, I bet you will get bored of it in a relatively small amount of time.

[ArashixArashi]

meh its like an "upgrade" in technology

not many things do that as of right now

[cholo11]

True, its somethin inovative, i agree. But isntead of doing that, why don't people research a new energy source? a way to ecologically dispose of wastes? controll population growth maybe?

Thats a waste of time, but anyways , well done. To behonest, if it had more Gb's, were a little more practical, and its price reduced, I'd gladly get one.

[ArashixArashi]

research a new energy source? no major companies care about that... they just care about making money and i agree with you too

[cholo11]

"research a new energy source? no major companies care about that... they just care about making money" a clear example would be this. Its very sad how for the sake of having money they forget about their sons and the people that will live tomorrow.

[Whildcard]

dont be so damn depressing lol. they arn't oil companys they are electronic companys. it isn't there job to find a new source of energy. plus we arn't even running out of oil. thats just a load of crap

[cholo11]

I'm not depressed don't worry. Most probable when all the shit happens I will be dead.xD

[Whildcard]

omg its people like you, who make people like me look stupid. SONY IS A ELECTRICAL ENGENERING COMPANY! ITS NOT THEIR JOBS TO FIND A ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF FUEL! ITS THEIR JOBS TO BETTER THE ELECTRICAL FEILD OF SCIENCE! WE HAVE WAYS OF GETTING RID OF WAIST! WE HAVE ALTURNITIVE ENERGY SOURCES! WE ARE JUST SO DAMN STINGY WE WILL NEVER USE THEM UNTIL WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF THEM. Population control... taking that away would take away our freedom. also the sony roll thing looks stupid anyways lol.

[cholo11]

Sorry if I made you feel like you looked stupid. And I know what Sony does, don't worry. I was talking about people developing new things in general, not just Sony. Btw you got some serious grammar and spelling problems. xD

[Whildcard]

very few misspellings

[SIP100]

This has FAIL written all over it.

[kingtubenino]

i find this somewhat pointless. because the little flaps on the side willnot direct the sound to be listened to comfterably. but thats just my opinion.

[isenwald]

Anyone know the name of the song in the beginning?

[fallenpedalz]

that thing is so cute!

[lil0egy0kid]

wtf lol

[Hoerentoeter74]

To my opinion, it's a complete waste of time and resources. And for those who say it innovative, well, it's not. There is a plethora of thingies that move to music.

I don't see anything usefull.

Besides, I bet the sound is terrible.

So, there.

[metlmickey]

what would be the battery surge regarding the movement ? A big budget on the constant buying of batteries

[SwhereNthing]

Thats a big idea! Cute! :D

[sapphire2200]

I don´t want my stereo system rolling through my house, wtf, what´s next, a jumping 42 inch tv?!

[drmagix42]

A gig and it dances, thats a fucking joke, 1 GIG, WTF and 350 dollars, thats fucking retarded peopele, IPhone retarded

[Amishman35]

It could be worse, instead of developing something useless, they could be developing digital restrictions management to treat the user like a criminal because someone might steal a song...oh wait...Sony already does this. Those short-lives could be developing an alternative to petroleum, but no, they're too busy writing updated firmware for the PSP so I can't use my homebrew Oscilloscope that I legally wrote with my own ideas...

[Gsnickets]

you sound like a pissed off nerd.... go back to playing world of warcraft

[saifulcorner]

apasl la x der lg kat sini ....

[02browns]

What the fuck is this shit?!

The ps3 was bad but this....

I can not think of a practical use for this other than throwing it at the makers.

Sony should really think before they make.

[aemputra23]

kolo ko rase ko pwr buat sendiri ar cibai..

[carter102]

Man what the hell is Sony thinking?

That company is wayyyy off track with this thing!

Looks like a football, cause thats what I'd use it as.

[cretufan]

what a junk

[cyeh3]

they couldn't play better sample music?

[Bichoicho]

I love japanese tech, but this is just another completely useless "tamagotchi".

[Dantendo1122]

Cool but costs too much.

[saknoto]

wow, that is cool

[RaiderX]

too expensive, but a really cool idea. Would make a very cool toy or gift for about $100

[palibhasalalake]

400 something canadian for i gig??fuck you self sony

[SnakeInLake]

1 GB ??? SUUUX... 400$ for 1 GB.. madness..

[kenbuang]

jst gives off 3d sound and dances... thats all, nothing special!!!

[DarkestElite]

Obligatory "OLOL Sony" post.

[starvedsanity]

sony's answer to halo 3, a sony hand grenade!.. that plays music.. also.

[Donelop]

lol sony hand grenade. but its a cool idea

[Bichoicho]

LOOOOOOOOOOL
