New AIBO Demo'd

I still dig on AIBO, but until it is smart enough to home in on its base station and recharge itself when its batteries are running low, it's hard to consider AIBO ready for prime time.

    ... that Sony's AIBO policies suck!

    I'd never buy an AIBO. Sony blew it. I'd rather build my own robot out of
    Lego Mindstorms stuff.

    Thank you voice of reason. I would hate to not be like everybody else and by something from a big bad company. Another life saved here. What is the total up to now?
