Unfortunately, you can't use the USB slot as it is because you have to take the battery out to plug it in, and you need the Pleo RB to be running to run the updates.   %)

Also, because of that (I guess) the only updates available are for micro SD card only.   :(

I'd buy a 2GB micro SD (not SDHD) card and adapter or Micro SD USB reader.

You can get them quite cheaply online - they're cheap to post as they're so tiny.

Then those readers I posted probably won't work either ....... your cheapest option is likely to be to get a plain old 2GB Micro SD card, I think ........

This has me confused as well  ???

I was looking online to find some cheap micro SD cards but I am afraid of buying them too cheap as I have experience with buying "name brands" and receiving fakes. There are a HUGE number of fake "name brand" SD cards such as copies of Kingston and SanDisk. Be careful where you buy from and be sure to check comments/reviews! Especially on Amazon! Still gonna keep searching around though for a decent one.

What size is best?

Also, what exactly has been updated for the RB?

I'm by no means techy enough to understand all the ramifications ........ so to keep out of trouble I've always bought plain 2GB SD cards and Micro SD cards and not had any problems.  I don't think smaller than 2GB will run in a Pleo RB -  the 1GB one I tried in Belle didn't work.  There are people on here far better qualified to explain - so I can only tell you what works for me.  :)

The updates have mainly (and most obviously) changed the sleeping position on shutdown to a semi-standing position which puts less stresses on the skin, and it seems there are a few new noises as well.  There are two versions, one for male and one for female, but any Pleo RB bought recently should already be running the updated version.

In that case, it sounds as though she already had been issued with the lastest software ....... on the main points, anyway.  No point in updating then, just for the sake of it.   I believe the updates that went up on Pleoworld had been in existence for a while before they were posted. :)
