Here it is, Sony's Rolly which looks (and appears to act) just like a mini robotic Miuro. You'll know as much as we do about it once you disco on through to the video.
[Thanks, diogo]
I'll buy one only if I can program it to chase my cat.
It's a brainwashing device by sony, look at how the guy started dancing by the robot's command.
My take on all the people that showed up in the end: "Can't you dance like a normal human?"
yeah, but will it run linux?
glad to see more robots that aren't anthropomorphic.
i'd rather hang out with R2-D2 than C3-P0 anyway.
I'd rather have an AIBO.
WTF? No wonder they're losing money (Spiderman sequels aside). And they should fire their agency for coming up with such a useless ad that doesn't even give the viewer and indication as to what the thing is.
It's a teaser ad. It's not suppose to tell you what it does, just get you interested in it.

Its the new sony walkman - seriously
couldn't they have got people who could dance in the video??
Wow...mp3 player with a battery life of what? 4 minutes? Thanks, but I'll take my music without the dance.
Seems like Sony has invented the jesus egg.
Anyone know how much it costs? Beuhler?
The video would be much better without the guy spazzing out to it. Just show the product.
That's a singing egg. I don't trust singing eggs.
This is only a part of the full video.. before this you see him strap on those "belts" on his torso and hip,, maybe you can control it "disco fever"-style ? when it is not following you around with those cameras that is :) looks cool :)
There will be 128 different models. Kids will be encouraged to "battle" them and collect the set.
A few reasons you shouldn't buy this:
-As soon as you bring it in the door, it will use built-in Wifi to hack into your PCs and install rootkits.
-After dancing for a few hours, the battery will explode.
-It will cost some obscene amount.
-It will only read music from a proprietary memory card format that will die a year later.
-Some of the buttons won't work - this is a feature, not a bug.
-When you want to bring it into another room, you have to first "uninstall" it from the current room, then "install" it in the new one, which requires an Internet connection. If you install it in two rooms, you won't be able to install it in another even if you uninstall it from the first two.
-Nintendo and Microsoft will make products that do basically the same thing but better at a lower cost.
-Sony will sue and shut down eBay for providing these to Europe.
Dance*Dance*Dance *!*CRUNCH*!* Fu******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note: Accident Warranty not available for this model.

Drove me crazy looking for it as it's a remix.
thanks so much for the link mate
who the hell want to buy a freakin Ipod with a set of wheel. I cannot remember where i put my key the last time i came home. Imagine if my mp3 player is moving by itself. Instead, Sony please, produce decent games for our PS3!!!!!

That's great if this egg has two cameras at both sides..I want this to be somewhat self-recording spy gadget whenever it sensors odd movements inside the room specifically speaking on top of it's master's bed and can be accessed remotely by our PDA..What do you think Sony?
ok so what is it still think maybe im just too buzzed to understand
can see the headlines clearly now , breaking news : aussie nabbed and arrested at international airport on terrorism charges , what the federal police thought was some form of a homing nuclear bomb device turned out to be a sony rolly , the investigation continues , aussie liable to sue sony for damages lol
