Really; it's for him, I swear! Needless to say, we have a blast playing "hide and seek" with R2. He also makes a great room alarm with his IR radar and sonar. He does eat batteries faster than a Bantha eats Sand-People and he doesn't work well on carpets at all. Keep him happy and he listens well, but don't piss him off: he can get tempermental!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kevin C.

My brother has one and it's pretty damn cool. It's pretty good at understanding you and can manage a lot of activities.<br><br>Is it something I would shell out the cash for? No. But for Star Wars fans, I would imagine they would really enjoy it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Patrick Bennett]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Voice-Activated R2-D2 talking, dancing companion]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</guid><description><![CDATA[They are actually quite fun, and they do quite a bit for a toy]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Voice-Activated R2-D2 talking, dancing companion]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</guid><description><![CDATA[I got that for Christmas 2 or 3 years ago.  Comes with a pop-out cup holder for drinking servering too, woot!  Pretty fun little droid really.  It even plays the "help me Obi-wan..." message, sans the hologram though.<br><br>Our R2 unit seems to be in a bad mood most of the time though, but a light bop on the dome gets him back in line (seriously, it was in the instruction booklet).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Voice-Activated R2-D2 talking, dancing companion]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</guid><description><![CDATA[It *IS* the same robot from a few years ago.  They re-released it.  If you want to save a few hard-earned dollars, this is available at CostCo for $69.00.<br><br>R2 has easter eggs too - you can make him sing the  Imperial March by asking him about Darth Vader, then Anakin...<br><br>Great way to freak out your dog is put it in follow me mood and have him chase your dog - it's too bad he isn't speedier tho... :P]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vincent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Voice-Activated R2-D2 talking, dancing companion]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/28/voice-activated-r2-d2-talking-dancing-companion/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I got one of these a few years ago for around $50 on a special sale at KBToys or something.

You forgot to mention one all-important feature: a cup-holder! Yes, on the front of 'lil old R2 is a little compartment that has a fold-out extension perfect for holding soda cans! Pretty nifty when you want to transport a Mt.
