Hey I was thinking of getting a Sony AIBO dog, since I cant get a real dog as my family is allergic. Anyone have one of thse or know anything about them? Ive checked out the sony site, but Im not sure how life like these robots are.

Well my dog certainly doesn't recognize voice commands, let alone 75 of them.

Well I wouldn't know as I've never owned one, but I'd expect it to be less like a dog and more just like a pet robot. A cuddly, brightly colored robot.

seems like a poor substitution for a real dog to me, but if you cant get a dog...

... then save the money.

I played around with one when I went down to Disney World for the family vacation, and, personally, I believe you would be better off with a new state-of-the art computer. Of course your computer can't chase a ball, roll over, or walk around the house, but I believe it'll do a lot more for you in the long run.

I can make my computer roll over just as easily as those glorified mechanics make that plastic shell "roll over."

my computer can dance, and sing. (yodel occasionally)

One question: Why?

The entire point of having a dog is the love and care, and the emotions that the dog puts back. All you'd have is a hunk of metal making motions.

I'm a huge dog person keep in mind.

get a furby and teach it naughty words, it will be a lot cheaper and more entertaining then buying an Aibo dog.

Rrrright... whatever you say.

Hehe, search for Furby Prank Call on Kazaa, it's a prank call to a department store's toy department. It's prolly one of the funniest that I've heard so far.

oh... my ... God



Jadam ... oh ... my ... God

after researching it all day, and reading some message boards i think im gunna get the aibo. They are a lot like real dogs.
