I’m sure most of you have already heard, but for those that didn’t:

 

I must say I’ve always wanted an AIBO, I’ve been close to buying one so many times, just never got around to it. Now that they are stopping I really want to pick one up, except I’m pretty sure my dog will destroy it…she hates electronic things, it freaks her out. So torn. :(

Got mine a few days ago. I guess theses little marvels will seriously increase their value over time.

Highly recommended ! Grab one while you can

I bought a black second hand ERS-210B for a really good price. I do prefer their look and shape over the latest ERS7 smile (moreover there are a bunch of freeware applications and utilities available for them)

I suddenly decided that I want to mess around with one of those before they are completely gone and impossible to find, so I ordered the ERS-7M3/T from Acroname (sony dealer). Let the games begin :D

Why? Don’t want to be rude; but why the hell would you want a really expensive toy dog?
