Pleo SI
kat:
Lovepleo I believe the rights to build and sell pleos was sold to Innvo when the Ugobe company went bankrupt. This is why there is uncertainty about the China Ugobe products.
The idea of a new type of pleo is very exciting for us but with such a high price tag and not much information, photos and videos available for us to see it is hard to get our hopes up. So far all the pleo products sold by China Ugobe have been extremely expensive. Perhaps it is a language barrier getting in the way but for us international customers there does not seem to be a lot of information that we can easily understand to explain why the products are so expensive.
Perhaps with better marketing these pleo products would sell better? Or a cheaper price. If they were sold for $500 or less I would buy one and test it out just so we can all experience exactly what one of these new pleos is capable of and to show off the new features. Sadly at a cost of $1000 it is too expensive.
As for the batteries sold by China Ugobe, these were originally sold as an item that would give 4 hours playtime with your pleo. I purchased one of these batteries to try it out as 4 hours playtime would be wonderful. Sadly they do not give 4 hours playtime but only 2 hours which is the same amount of time as the Innvo pleo RB batteries and the Egg charger batteries for Ugobes, both of which are much cheaper to purchase. I have tested this battery many times in many different pleos and while it works well and in both pleos it does not run for more than 2 hours. So no this battery is not a fake but the way it is advertised and marketed is misleading to customers. As I purchased it specifically for the extra hours of playtime that it was advertised to give I was a very disappointed customer.
This false advertising has made me and others wary of claims made about the other products being sold by this company.
Pleo Si looks like it could be a very interesting product but without more videos, photos and information it is hard for us to appreciate just how wonderful it could be.

I have commented on one of the youtube videos of pleo si to ask for more videos of what this pleo can do, looks like and what you get in the box. Will let you all know if I get a response.
As this pleo si is very expensive I would like to understand more about why it is so expensive.
Also looking around on the website there are some comments, questions from guests to the site asking about having their Ugobe pleos upgraded/modified to the new pleo si. I'm not sure if I am understanding correctly but it looks like you can send in your old pleo and pay $500 (not sure what currency) and they will send you a pleo si, or maybe they upgrade the mechanics of your pleo and it comes back to you as a pleo si? Not sure which. Don't know if they would accept any old Ugobe pleo or not though or if it would need to be one of theirs or a 2009 or China Ugobe pleo rb. As far as I can tell you are responsible for the postage cost of this interaction so it wouldn't work out to be much cheaper than buying one outright but it got me curious.
I would love to ask some questions about the China Ugobe pleo rb. Why do they use a picture of an Innvo Pleo rb on their pleo rb packaging when their pleo rb looks nothing like an Innvo one. The picture on the box shows a pleo rb with different coloured skin - yellow and green. The pleo inside the box is standard Ugobe green.
I also want to know why they use the Innvo Labs discription of Pleo Rb to advertise their pleo rb on their website? This makes me wonder a bit as their description says they come in blue for males and pink for females but their pleo rb is green and looks like an original Ugobe pleo on the outside. There is nowhere that I have found on their site where they are selling ones in different colours. So do they come in pink and blue?
The description also says that the pleo rb can distinguish different food types using RFID and needs medicine when sick or injured but their pleo rb - as far as I can see from the photos of what's in the box and the list of box contents does not come with any food leaves, or toys, or medicines. So does this pleo rb need different food and medicines to stay happy and healthy? Does it have the RFID capabilities the description states?
The description also mentions an internal clock battery in pleos rear left foot but again there is no signs of this being provided in the box with the pleo. Does this pleo require a clock battery?
Also looking at the pleo si website the FAQ says that there is after service provided and to email issues to lovepleo@126.com. I am assuming that this is you Lovepleo? If so maybe you can provide some of the answers to our questions? Thanks

This is the list of questions I have posted to the message section on the website
Hi can you please show us more video and photos of your pleo si. I would love to see what his belly looks like now that he has a built in battery. Also what comes in the box with pleo si? Is he still an autonomous robot like the original pleo? Does he need special food or medicine to stay healthy? Does he have RFID to recognise food ? Can you please show videos of his two play modes? Also I would like to see him speak. Thanks
Will let you know if I get an answer.
