We're not afraid to admit it: at the height of the
Tamagotchi craze we received a cheap imitation digital pet for Christmas and have never recovered emotionally from that pain of that day. Now that Tamagotchi is getting ready to celebrate 10 years of keeping small children from their homework, we feel the tears rushing back, but they are good tears -- tears of healing. Bandai is releasing a limited-run Special Edition of their addictive digital pet to celebrate this joyous occasion, and are producing 1000 each of three different-colored versions. They've tossed the thing into a snazzy Japanese-style box and are selling them in Japan for what we're sure will be prices just as confiscatory as the original.

i want the passswords and body
wooooooooooow
i love this game

I sadly admit that I had a Tamagotchi once...
Confiscatory? Is someone using their thesaurus widget?
I love those things! Has it been ten years already?!
why are these things still shipped with greyscale screens? we can get 16 million colors on a postage stamp, but cant get like 16 into a tomagachi?
who would pay for this honestly? oh.... girlfriend...
(walks away with tail between legs)
I can't wait to use these to pick up girls at the playground :rolleyes:
those things piss me off
I don't suppose anyone on here has seen one of the second-generation (or whatever they're on now) Tamagotchis. Well, now kids can download game items from a huge tamagotchi at certain department stores in Japan. Two different tamagotchis can also get married and have babies. So basically, these things are even more incredibly annoying than before.
I can't believe that about six years ago these were really big and 'the thing to have'. I found mine a few weeks ago and actually tried to kill it!!!
Our virtual pets are attacking! Run!
about ten years ago, i bought one of these for one of my college girlfriends... ah, memories....
Wasted time??
You mean like reading your blog???
I heard that the longest one lived for about a year.
It finally died alongside its battery.
id rather have my kid playing with fake battery powered pets then on the street.
Wow... special edition Tamagotchi. Thats pretty sad, the first version was bad enough but this is just crazy. Next it could be Tamagotchi conventions! Or did that already happen? I wonder...
This girl at work had some kind of Tamagotchi back in the day when they were all the craze here in the US. She let me watch it while I was on lunch. I kept giving it a snack and every so many snacks it would gain a pound. She would have been heartbroken if it died, but I was addicted and kept feeding it. I was scared that every press of the button could have killed poor little Tamagotchi.
When she came back I had left the Tamagotchi where she sat and I didn't say anything. I quickly left for my lunch.
By the time I got back she was asking me why her Tamagotchi gained like 100 pounds lol.
