Nice! But unfortunately, I don't think this Pleo will be programmed to give... hem, sexual satisfaction, you know?

But, anyway, this little dino is sooo cute, but with that price, I don't think I'll buy one... Really interesting though.

There's something sad: I don't want the future to have much artificial pets to love like this one. I mean, nothing can change a "real" pet, even if dinosaurs or dragons don't exist. Robots aren't "alive", they don't have "emotions". They have, however, some kind of artificial emotions, but... you know, I don't think it's the same feeling. What would you say about that?

Of course a robot toy can and must not replaceme a real animal. Just as a pet's emotions can not replace a human's ones although many use them for that.

As for the pleasing... well it IS some sort of dino plushie, not?

Pleo is super cute, and therefore must be twisted around to nefarious purposes.
