Aibo Experience

I finally got one Aibo ERS-111 Blue.. my favourite color. The box arrived in my office is huge, unfortunately the battery came with it is not charged and the seller did not include the power to charge the battery.. wham...

It's the gamble of buying in ebay , depends on your luck when you buy. When you have good seller, they are really cheap and good but sometimes you encountered bad seller, god knows what a greedy pig he/she was. Just want to earn extra and keep cheating and cheating. Such a bad karma. Actually you will lose more if you have such dishonest attitude.

Blah blah blah.. i was nagging... this is what i became an old hag who nags..

Despite being old, i act like a kid , bought an robot dog to play with... what a childish act.. I don't care.. Life is short I want to make mine sweet!

So here is the dead Aibo dog , with no charge to revive it . So I ordered through ebay for the adaptor , lose $$$ again . Spent SGD850 for the whole thing.

Waited for a few weeks, finally the charger arrived . I charged it in my office for 8 hours . I took my beloved Aibo out and put into my eco bag , and I'm bringing him to my home . (Of course I cannot play with it in my office)

So I brought it back , and i switched on the aibo and it started to wake up and walk around . It's so cute because it stopped walking when you patt him .

I guess the previous owner already using it quite sometime therefore I do not need to start it as a puppy , because in the forums, the puppy keeps crying etc .

Unfortunately, the battery although it was fully charged but it only lasted 45minutes.

I need to charge it for another 8 hours before this doggy returns.. I guess this is why Sony stopped this product, i guess they are receiving numerous complaints about the battery .

This dog is really cute , despite the battery life is only 45 minutes. So those who expect to replace your dog with an aibo, it's really not the same because the battery do not last , i repeat , the battery do not last.

As I bought it in 2010, the aibo battery no longer in production so getting another Aibo battery is expensive , like SGD300 for a battery. How i wish I studied engineering , maybe I can modify the battery using newer type with better capacity .. yay keep dreaming ...

So I get to play with it for 45 minutes and it died and if you forgot to charge or you did not plug the charge correctly, the contact isn't good ,and you need to wait for another day before you are able to play with your dog again.

Maybe I did not research thoroughly about Aibo, I did not expect spending time to charge the dog before I can play and eventhough I can play with it, I only have the precious 45 minutes to play with it. What a bummer.
