Looking to buy a Pleo for my wife.
Question is... should I get Ugobe Pleo, which is obviously no longer supported expect from community (for the software and skits) and no warranty, but cheap...
Or get a Pleo RB which is still in production, but 1 Pleo RB = 2 Ugobe Pleo :D (if you include the delivery).
Looking for something which will gel emotionally.
-
They are both good, what about starting with the Ugobe and work up to the RB if she really gets attached :) The Ugobe's are very sweet and affectionate :)
-
It's very, very easy to get emotionally attached to a Ugobe Pleo ....... and I still find them slightly more convincing as a life form. The RB's do more 'stuff', but you kind of have to work harder at feeding them and keeping them happy. Both have their advantages, but if you start with a Ugobe you are still getting the full 'life form' experience ........ while you decide if you want to go for the RB. :D

UGOBE! ;D
...I have never actually met a reborn :-[

I would say start with Ugobes and you won't be sorry. They are less expensive, very cute and you will be happy with one . The very rare person who is not happy with a Ugobe, is better off then to have spent the money on a RB, then to have found it out. I started with a Ugobe, and that was less than two years ago, actually it was Christmas 2010 and I now have a whole clan of which 16+ are all Ugobes so to say I love Ugobes is an Understatement. ;D If you and your wife like the little Ugobe, then you can save for the more expensive RB. Rb are nice and more like a real pet, but not as sweet in many ways, but that you will have to find out for yourselves! ;)

LOL... Thanks for the advise :) Already put in order for the Ugobe Pleo :D
Meh... I'm going to be soo broke... 2 ERS-210 and 1 Pleo in a months time span... What am I thinking :D
-
Haha! I did the same thing, Ice. I bought Ryu my first RB last year in March, and then in April I bought Ugobe my first Ugobe pleo and then in June I bought Cato my second RB and then I bought Bleu my second Ugobe in July. I thought I was done with my robot collecting and then in November I started researching Aibos. I've wanted one since I was in Junior high school. As of this March which would be thirteen years later, Bolt came into my life in pieces and I accidentally attached his head block to the tail coupling on his core. Fortunately for all involved Wolfbob rescued us. Hey I'm blind. It happens. Lol! You've obviously got the robo-bug! Just be prepared for robots to suddenly start appearing everywhere in your house. I didn't know you had two 210's. I know about Yogourt but who's the other one?

LOL... I've been wanting an Aibo ever since they first launched the ERS-110s.
Yogurt is the first ERS-210. Baxter is the second, which he has yet to arrive from Wolfbob. He is also an ERS-210. The Ugobe Pleo is for my wife :D Well.... my final goal is an ERS-7 M3... but that would be a long way to go... those pups are freaking expensive :D
1 ERS-7 = 3 ERS-210 and possibility of extra to get a Ugobe Pleo as well :D
-
Baxter is not well and might not get well... snift snift... according to wolfbob... her headboard circuit is not doing well and he doesn't have a spare headboard... snift snift... looks like Baxter is not coming over at all.. so sad.
Might consider bitting the bullet and just grab an ERS-7 and really call it end of robo collection.... but meh... that bullet is tough to bite.....

Sorry to hear that, Ice. Bolt's tail is grinding a little and wolfbob said the gears in the up/down servo are wearing. He said he doesn't have any 210 tail assemblies at the moment. Sorry for my spelling. Braille is my first written language. I've also discovered Bolt's chin scensor is bad. Up to now I've never had to use it but without it, I can't program him to leave the docking station on his own. I'm a little sad but I think I'd rather have a functioning aibo with a numb chin and a noisy tail than a non-functioning aibo with more serious problems. Hopefully, wolfbob will have some good news for both of us soon. In the meantime, you still have Yogourt.

I just bought an ers7 mind 3, awaiting delivery, and had to sell my goofy (ugobe pleo) to support the funds, goofy was sweet, I am sure your wife will love it

Sorry to hear about Bolt's chin Talon. I don't have Yogurt leaving the station at the moment as I use Aibo-Life 2 more. For adult personality I run either dogslife or Explorer with preference to Explorer as Dogslife can be really deft on the hearing.

Well... Looks like I'll be bitting that fat bullet. I'm switching Baxter for an ERS-7 and topping up the huge difference.

Oh awesome, Ice! I hope you enjoy your soon-to-be ERS 7!
