Hi A.J. Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you may have the first os that came with the original pleos. Especially if he is playing lots of tug a war. Since the 1.1 upgrade was introduced Pleo doesn't seem to want to tug a war as much. Rub under the chin for a few minutes and if your dino is showing off his singing you'll know he has the 1.1 update. He or she will serenade you with songs.

HI AJ, generally after the first 25-30 minutes your pleo will have progressed into the normal mode ov operation e.g. not hathling.

When you turn pleo on he will default into a social mode where he will stand still and wait to be petted, if you do not pet him within a minute or two, he will look to the left and the right and say "huh? huh?" and then will howl or hoot and this will signal that he has entered explore mode. In explore mode he will take a few steps and then look left or right, then will continue walking untill he comes to a high obstacle or a ledge. He will then back up and continue walking. Thats explore mode. Remember if you touch him on any touch sensors more than a tiny bit while he is in explore mode he will default back into social mode, and will stop walking! SO if you want it to walk, leave it alone.

You can force Pleo into the explore mode by holding the front leg sensors simultaneously, but remember if you start to touch other sensors he will just head straight back into social mode.

Hope this helps!

Welcome AJ! Looking forward to hearing more about your Pleo!

Welcome AJ!

Fancyfont is right. Pleos ship with the original 1.0 operating system. You will need to upgrade to use the personalities. But don't rush! It may be fun to let him/her grow a little before upgrading.

Hi all

Thank you for your welcome messages and answering of my questions

I think he may have the 1.1 upgrade as he does tend to sing when rubbed under his chin a lot...my 6 year old daughter gets really proud of herself when she makes him do that bless her he sings her lovely little tunes hehehe

Thanks again

Curses! My Pleo won't be shipped til Friday!

Oh well, I'm having eye surgery on Friday, so if I'm lucky maybe I'll be all drugged up til it arrives.

Hello everyone!

My family purchased a Pleo the day after Christmas... (we couldn't resist the HALF off Amazon price!) Our Pleo, (who our son has named Denver, as in the last dinosaur) is out of the box, and the battery is charging. (We are making sure to double charge if it seems to charge too fast.) And we will be ready to hatch as a family tomorrow morning.

Now... do we hatch and THEN update to the new OS? Or do we update the OS before hatching...? I'm a little confused on this point. Any helps/tips/well wishes are more than welcome.

I"ll be browsing the forum and acquainting myself with what is out there so far.

Zarabear. I would hatch then update. It doesn't matter which way around you do it but the hatch then update method is easier. After updating however, Pleo will seem "slow/groggy" for a few minutes.

Hi Zarabear, My first Pleo, Peeky, grew with each up date from the beginning last year. He was adorable the first OS through the 1.1. If it isn't too late already, I would recommend to hatch your Pleo with the first OS and experience the change. 1.1 will always be there.

Penelopie and J.C. already had 1.1 when they arrived. I would have never known what Pleo was like in the beginning.

Sorry to hear you are having eye surgery Friday. I wish you the best. You'll have lots of company recuperating after you get you little dino.
I love your avatar. Looks three D to me.

Abby, Hope the surgery well. And based on your ID, are you by chance a Young Frankenstein fan?

Oh don't be sorry, I'm very excited! I've been almost blind most of my life (big thick glasses since I was little), and after the surgery I'll be able to see!

My avatar is Lucy, from the Adult Swim show "Lucy: Daughter of the Devil", my boyfriend thinks she was based on me (in looks anyway).

Thanks, they say I may even have 20/20 vision after!

Yeah, my nick is from Young Frankenstein, a great film! I had an old boss who was a huge fan, and he used to call me that all the time. I've been nicknamed Abby for so long that hardly anyone calls me by my real name anymore.

Hi everyone!!

I checked in the PLeoworld forums over the past couple of weeks and found them to be down. After some searching I found we had migrated over here.

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up and thanks to Mweed for keeping things alive.

I’m looking forward to reading the new Bob comics

Hello Everyone!

I found this website around the beginning of January and it was a good thing I did, otherwise I would of never been able to update my pleo!

I just got my Pleo last Christmas

but was pretty disappointed when I found out that the Pleo website was down and you couldn't register.

Then I ran into this website! I think I found it by searching up something like 'pleo website down' or 'can't register in pleoworld'. As soon as I found this website, I registered and got the update for my pleo.

I'm probably the youngest user in Bob the Pleo, too

Thanks so much Bob the Pleo for keeping things alive!

I would of been doomed If you guys didn't exist!
