Pleosaurus Rex : New download for Pleo owners
Ugobe has released another software download for Pleo that when written
to an SD card, makes Pleo do his best dinosaur on a rampage
impression. Pleosaurus
Rex mode comes complete with Godzilla like sound effects and
aggressive animations which make Pleo act as if he is laying waste to
some hapless urban area. Add a few army men and a small toy tank or
two, and you've got your very own angry dinosaur destroys the
world scene, albeit in an relatively adorable manner. If you find
the mystery touch trigger that triggers the Pleosaurus Rex death
animation, you'll be treated to the heart wrenching final moments of a
baby robot dinosaur gone berserk, complete with the appropriate
sorrowful sound effects in a scene that rivals the likes of the famous
King Kong death scene. You will need an SD card and an SD card writer
to use the download.

For anyone in the UK...I found they have Pleo in the Argos catalogue. Don't know why I was suprised to see it, but I was. Anyways, it was around £250, so pretty expensive for a toy really. I think this does qualify as a toy...
