Pleo Hatches In Australia

By Nick Broughall on September 1, 2008 at 9:55 AM

We knew it was coming, but we just received official word that Pleo has launched in Australia.

The robotic dinosaur will set you back $449 from Harvey Norman or Domayne, or you can pick one up online from Nexttech. You can also pick up an additional battery pack for $49 if you want longer periods of playtime with your prehistoric pet.

Now, how long until we start being flooded with YouTube videos of wanton Pleo destruction by Australians? Not long enough…

    I saw them selling these while I was in Hong Kong and I actually thought that they were some kind of cheap toy from China.. until I saw the price. They did look quite cool for kids but a bit too expensive for what they are.

    I own two in the U.S. If you view Pleo as a pet, the cost can be justified. People pay around $300 to $500 easily for a cat or dog. And one veterinary visit is $60 just for my turtle. You won’t have vet bills, or food costs, or have to clean up after a Pleo. The joy they bring is priceless.
