I have been thinking of buying one of these for my niece... has anyone any experience with them? I've heard mixed opinions...

I genuinely felt sorry for the poor thing on the latter part of the clip... I need help

Cheers!

I saw this earlier, I agree its sad at the end.

Tibbs · 23 Sep 2008 at 22:56

I was nearly in tears.

Akira · 23 Sep 2008 at 22:58

I was nearly interested.

I was on the verge of ending my life after watching the last bit of that. Cruel world.

That was really sad

The video keeps crapping out on me at about 1:40. It won't let me see the end.

Delvis · 23 Sep 2008 at 23:05

That thing is actually amazing...

Made me sad

It could be kinda bad I guess for your niece...depending on how old your niece is? As they might love it to bits on minute, then leave it alone next month, only to come back and find its a grump old dino who want's no friends

That thing could have some serious health impact issue I think :|

Does it need sex?

I feel sad now

apeZ · 23 Sep 2008 at 23:13

Wow, incredible technology, really sad video ending though, aww.

Anyone know how much these are, and if they are availiable to purchase yet?

I am going to warrant a guess that they could be near the £500 mark, but might be more...

danza · 23 Sep 2008 at 23:14

~£200 and you can get them in Argos.

Glad I'm not the only one who seems to have sympathy/empathy for inanimate objects. It makes no logical sense but meh!

LOL!

She's 8, and she's a really good kid. I can see her "bonding" with it, which may or may not be a good thing? Mind you, a lot of kids have a favourite toy that they won't leave alone. :confused:

I'm sure she's of the age now where she will know it's a toy and a bit of fun.

She's had a bit of a rough time being picked on by some little chav ****s at school and is now going to move to a different one. I also will be in Aus for a few months and won't see her, hence the idea to cheer her up.
