This is a toy, not a pet. Artificial intelligence is an oxymoron. The organization of chips, mechanics, thermoplastic material, and electrical energy, however “life-like” they may seem, do not constitute life any more than do a collection of tin cans in the sunshine. Life does not come from a battery, life comes from life. To those who think that “no cleaning up” after this so-called pet is a plus, I ask you, “Just what exactly is your quarrel with reality?” Reality, or life, is messy. So what? The rewards (such as love, generosity, and compassion) more than justify the work involved. Try it some time. And teach your children to try it, too. (A puppy would help, or even a baby brother or sister.) We all might become better humans for it.

It’s very pricey for what it does . Now if it could fetch a beer like the dog I saw in a commercial then maybe it might have been worth it . Was not amuse for what it does and they could have at least make it a little bigger . Takes long to charge and charge doesn’t last very long . It’s a very expensive toy that people have to shell out for their kids . I actually bought it for a nephew and I think I must have been high at the time I bought this through Amazon . All in all I should have gotten a Wii .

at 300Plus Dollars I expected Pleo to do something. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter who was thrilled to get it. All it does is wake up and go to sleep and turn it’s head a couple times. It doesn’t walk, communicate or do anything else it was claimed to be able to do. It supposedly had a “hatching period” in which it would wake and sleep and then do things-well-never happened. The biggest waste of 300 Dollars I ever did!

Its probably early days in the product cycle. We expected more diversity of experience. The user guide on the internet is not downloadable or printable.
I am not recommending it to anyone yet.
