So, me and my assistant manager were talking about this new toy..

Basicly, a remote control dino.. but it seems its easily hackable and you can change all its routines and make it more violent and what not..

Anybody here own one or screwed with one? thinking about going and picking one up

If it is made by teh same company that made teh robots you cuold get at best buy..the white and black ones, I'd avoid it...my dad got a free one of those robo-sapiens from the company and let me try it out (his company provides funds to import shit like that)...it was not much fun.

It's a piece of shit 100 dollar toy shoved out onto the market to cash in on aeibo or whatever the fuck it was called fad without destroying parents wallets.

Nothing more. It's no more advanced than Big Trak.

I've seen some videos of that thing in action, and i don't see how any amount of reprogramming would ever make it even remotely fun. They claim it can run realistically.. looks more like an extremely slow waddle.

Everything else about it looks like it would be boring as hell after the first hour or so.

i guess if you can't make any real friends this shit is fun...

I played with one in the Discovery store here for a few minutes.

It was on a stone floor and the thing couldn't even move. The chick working there told me it does a lot better on carpet.

I was far from impressed. The coolest thing about it was that it would follow a beam of light you could point with the remote.
