I have my Furby gifted by my friend after I had met by chance in his existence and had enthusiastically looked at a couple of videos on youtube. For me as an adult the whole mess about with a feeding and game app is of course somewhat exaggerated, I do not really talk to the part. But it's funny when my purse go hinplappert right. In times of ubiquitous mobile phones that comes I do not think so weird - it could be a fancy ringtone :) And what the criticized "bad personality" is concerned - that was the decisive argument for buying: a droning and danaben be behaving Critter, wow! Almost like Alf, hehe, just that it imitates no cats. The evil Furby I would want to permanently adjust :) Even though I know that it is a primitive robot and a toy for children, I start to like him. I think I will not come around to peek into his inner self, and the matter of the IR / Audio Protocol pursue, that was the second reason to buy ... :)
