It's a variable pricing scam by Amazon. I checked the price of Pleo over a 24 hour period and it started at $99, increased to $149, then increased to $199 then to $220 all within a 24 hour period. This was clearly an intentional variable pricing experiment on Amazon's part at our expense. I plan on filling a written complaint with the FTC for false advertisement.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[maryland]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2009 8:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ugobe expects Pleo IP to fetch a pretty penny]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</guid><description><![CDATA[make it rideable and it will sell gangbusters]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Uncontrol]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2009 7:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ugobe expects Pleo IP to fetch a pretty penny]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</guid><description><![CDATA[At first glance it looks like the two in the picture are getting it on.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Casey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2009 7:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ugobe expects Pleo IP to fetch a pretty penny]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</guid><description><![CDATA[Pleo better watch out.

Many people bought Pleo based on the idea of AI, but Pleo was just a programmed toy and when it's neck or tail snapped, the skin wore down to the skeleton beneath Ugobe would not repair or replace them. When the teeth chipped or the colour of the skin flaked Ugobe recommended buying craft paint for a do it yourself repair.<br><br>When Chung released his now notorious furby he made claim to it learning from it's environment and people all around the world were convinced their furby was unique and intelligent. When Chung released Pleo he admitted in an interview that indeed furby was just a pre-programmed toy incapable of anything really. He'll do the same thing with his next toy in years to come except it will be Pleo in the firing line from Chung.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2009 3:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ugobe expects Pleo IP to fetch a pretty penny]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd buy that IP for a dollar!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Galley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2009 8:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ugobe expects Pleo IP to fetch a pretty penny]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/ugobe-expects-pleo-ip-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/</guid><description><![CDATA[i'm one of those fiscally responsible ones that loved the idea of one but $350 for it just wasn't a smart play this year.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tom Boucher]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2009 2:38PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
