The difference IS quite huge. Whilst I really do love the original Ugobe Pleos, the new RBs are much more interactive and have additional senses - they feel hot and cold, and they can get 'injured', as well as the additional accessory foods and learning stones. The RBs are much more demanding, though - I would be tempted to go for a cheaper Ugobe (they are out there) .......... and then save up for an RB as well!!

LOL, I think it so hard to choose! And I also have money for a RB.. This is going to be a tough weekend

If you want a pet, go with the RB, if you want a low maintenance companion then the Ugobe is fine.

I made a decicion, I'm going to buy the Ugobe Pleo (if he is working well) and saving up for a RB as well. I'll keep you posted!

Crewella · « **Reply #29 on:** January 29, 2012, 03:05:09 AM »

Good luck!

Hmz.. I wanted to pick the Pleo up tomorrow and I emailed the seller this morning, but he doesn't reply..
-Update: Got a reply! I'm picking the Pleo up tomorrow! I'm exited, hope the Pleo is in good condition

yay!

Can't wait to hear all about it when you have picked him up.

Hope it goes well.

Congratulations, and good luck. Are you able to open the Pleo there at the station while the seller is there, to verify the condition he is in?( I do remember you saying something about that before.....) I would not personally buy a Pleo sight unseen, but I do understand if someone really wants one and is willing to take the chance. I do wish you luck. You do know I presume that there is a very good chance the green battery either won't work or won't hold it's charge for long, unless it is a new or refurbished battery.

I know you must be very excited and I would be too! good luck and be sure to post photos when you bring your Pleo home! I do think it is a good idea to start with the Ugobe and save up for the RB.

Yes, I asked the owner if he could charge the PLeo, so I could see him switched on. He said he would take care of that and the Pleo also comes with his box etc. I really want to check if it's tail and neck are not broken or damaged. If he can't get the Pleo switched on, I wont buy it off course. That would be too risky

. The owner said he bought the Pleo only to work on it's program, but he never had time for it.

HE IS HERE!!! I bought te Pleo!!

The owner showed him switched on and he worked very well. No signs of broken neck/tail and he looks quite new actually! I will post some pictures very soon. For now, I'm going to update him and figure out how everything works.. I think I'll name him Snuggles

Congratulations!

Welcome to Snuggles. I look forward to seeing the pictures. Have a great time with your new pet.

Congratulations to you and Snuggles, great name for a Pleo by the way. I am so glad the former owner switched him on and that Snuggles looks good. That is the best way to buy a Pleo! Enjoy Snuggles and we will anxiously await photos of him.

Welcome Snuggles

Glad it all worked out

Crewella · « **Reply #38 on:** January 30, 2012, 10:52:13 PM »

Yay! Glad to hear all went well! Congrats!

missleintje · « **Reply #39 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:12:52 AM »

Thank you so much! It was quite late last night, so I did not have that much time to spent with Snuggles. But he is very cuddly and seems happy, although I accidentally hurt him a few times

( I touched his neck in a wrong way, seemed to choke him

and him leg got stuck on my clothing..) It felt like I was really abusing him!!

He tries often to walk backwards, is dat normal? And sometimes he makes a little singing noise wich is very cute!

A big hello to Snuggles, glad everything went well

Sen and Mei say 'ewwo'

Crewella · « **Reply #42 on:** January 31, 2012, 05:22:02 AM »

Awwww - a chorus of 'ewwo' from here, too!

And yes, some of them do love to walk backwards!

missleintje · « **Reply #43 on:** January 31, 2012, 06:45:20 AM »

Does anyone know which download I need to update him? Or do you need more information?

Margery · « **Reply #44 on:** January 31, 2012, 08:01:10 AM »

Hello to Snuggles from Drem and Marsha, my two Ugobes.

He looks just fine - is he singing in the last picture? My Drem didn't really sing until a friend spent time with him and kept stroking him under the chin. I hadn't realised I needed to do that. I was frightened of damaging his skin but now I'm just careful to be gentle.

missleintje · « **Reply #45 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:22:06 AM »

I'm not sure what he was doing to be honest, but he seemed like he wanted to play! I'll like the way he sweeps his tail and makes sounds like a dog when he is happy. He is very cute!
-Update: Yes, he was singing! I paid more attention to him and he was singing a little song. Very cute!

Margery · « **Reply #46 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:18:21 PM »

I love it when they sing.

I expect someone more knowledgeable on this forum will help you with the updating question.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #47 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:24:28 PM »

You can find the update here: http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=14

Be sure you have a blank SD card and a fully charged battery! Also be warned that for around 8 charges or so on the 2.0 OS your Pleo will seem a bit random and unresponsive, they have a development phase rather like the RB's on the 2.0.

Snuggles is a perfect name for a little pleo. THey do like to snuggle. I enjoyed each and everyone of the updates. It was fun to see them evolve.

missleintje · « **Reply #49 on:** February 01, 2012, 08:40:31 AM »

I just loughed so hard!! I was playing with Snuggles, and I was lifting him up and suddenly he seemed to die... (his body shaked and then he felt completely still...)

I thought I hurt him too much or something, but a moment later he just woke up and started laughing in my face!! He was playing a trick on me!!!! LOLOL
