- SwabTheDeck, on 10/12/2007, -2/+76This thing seems more depressed than that robot from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
- jsd8cc, on 10/12/2007, -6/+72That was boring.
- ScottJG, on 10/12/2007, -3/+57I think I heard it say "Kill Me...."
- t.toe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31this digg title was so misleading...
- Artifez, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30That's pretty impressive although it's essentally a high tech furby at this point.
- Legionnaire, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25Yeah, I can't wait to have a really expensive toy that... sleeps.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15You don't know, maybe it is the first retarded life form.
- drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13DEBUNKED!!!! http://digg.com/videos_gaming/THE_WORLD_S_FIRST_LIFE_FORM_Debunked_Video
- sh0k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14That's really cool, although the "autonomous" part of the description page is a little bit exaggerated ^_^
Good find. What's with the title, though? "World's First life form"? - bitt3n, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14version 2.0:

- drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11it's fake, it's just a routine of scripted motions...
- drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10DEBUNKED!!!
http://digg.com/videos_gaming/THE_WORLD_S_FIRST_LIFE_FORM_Debunked_Video - Tsujigiri, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10It seemed kinda slow.
- Jadix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10that thing is retarded. that would be broken and thrown in the corner so fast at my house. It moves too slow, its uninteresting, i couldn't even finish the video.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8What.. you thought it was a real dinosaur?
- lickmygiggle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Spoken like a 13 year old.
- usherzx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8http://www.robotforums.com/pleoskin.jpg
- Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Yeah, check his account and look at his comments--they're all just the same thing: "Attempt to say something clever. No digg, marked as lame." I recommend everyone just block him.
- MasterGrief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I wonder if it will act the same as a furby if you microwave it?
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -11/+16Well, only if you believe in that evolution jazz. The good book says that jesus created plastic robot dinosaurs 5000 years ago before he created anything else. After he got pissed off at it caue it was so ***** boring, he killed it off and decided to design something else.
^^the word of the lord - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"Some stupid robot, that doesn't even have emotions, will never replace true animals."
Some day you will be very surprised. Just like when they said nobody will ever need more that 1 megabyte of space. - geuisteses, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Might be a better video, but shows kinda how lame the first one was. They're almost the same. God I hate lame product launches.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7CAPSLOCK DIDNT CATCH MY ATTENTION WELL ENOUGH
- arof, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6How, might I ask, do these videos get more diggs than views on the youtube link? This is not the first time I've seen this, either. Do that many people digg stories without a view?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I always ask a Nascar fan to see if something is cool.. oh wait no I don't.
You like a "sport" that doesn't do anything but make left turns.. because that's cool. - stimcaps, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The first company that can make a toy like this that realistically mimics kittenish/puppyish behaviors and doesn't use noisy, whirring servomotors will make a mint.
- Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7^Troll.
- geuisteses, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Better vid
http://www.demo.com/demonstrators/demo2006/63039.php - raid517, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This might be impressive if you are 13.
Depressingly though a large number of Digg members ARE 13.
Hence I guess it's popularity.
On another note, for the slightly older among us, it is easy to program a set of known behaviors and then behave as though you were genuinely interacting. You can write a very simple computer program that will do this.
When this thing does something completely *unexpected* like jump up and bite the guy on the nose - and in so doing demonstrates a certain degree of free will, THEN I will be impressed.
Until there is will be like all the other kids toys. They will play with it for an hour and then shove it in a drawer and probably never play with it again. - MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -3/+6Boring indeed. And a misleading title.. wtf? Marked as lame.
- Fotograffiti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kidding right? LMAO
- drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3it may not be fake in theory, they may be working on it... but it's stupid to display the thing and lie to everyone
- raid517, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Lol, so the whole thing is totally scripted?
Pah... for a $200 toy, what do you expect?
Still it will make a nice in store demo and they will probably sell crap loads.
Although how the guy expects to get away with selling a totally fake toy is anyone's guess. - dyrmsz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The cuter they make robots the closer we are to having them take over!
- webtech, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Link:

- dan4prez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here is the Digg story showing that this whole video was scripted motion. Good Job drapelyk!
http://digg.com/videos_gaming/THE_WORLD_S_FIRST_LIFE_FORM_Debunked_Video - drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I took a video of 2 videos of the Pleo side-by-side to prove that it's fake take a look.
http://www.digg.com/videos_gaming/THE_WORLD_S_FIRST_LIFE_FORM_Debunked_Video - DeezKnots, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A great start at something that could be awesome. His processer seems slow though.
- radioactivesmrf, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I think that is amazing and I love what they are doing with these robotic animals now. It would be nice for someone who is allergic to most animals and thus cannot own a real pet.
- Warpling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I think I read it would be about $200
- raid517, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Until then it will be like all the other kids toys."
Dumb digg editing... - bonked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Caps Lock - CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME!
/sarcasm is fun - solidsmoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If I had one of those, I would skin it. Then it would actually look kind of cool.
- artman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dino on ludes?
- funkychikensays, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3This could be fun to 'create' in spore.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Which god?
- Ental, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ha, we all know how it feels to be woken up before we want to. Pleo seemed a bit cranky.
- lickmygiggle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3bited? And why are you thanking Jurassic Park. Sure it has dinosaurs, but that's the only correlation.
