WALL-E Roomba Sucks Up Cash
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 17 of November , 2008 at 7:18 am
I guess that Hello Kitty special edition Roomba we saw back in September must have actually suckered in some poor hapless obsessive fans, because iRobot is kicking out another 400 unit special edition Roomba 530, this time with a WALL-E theme. As huge a fan as I am of WALL-E, I have to say, the $875 pricetag is just ludicrous. For $875, you could get yourself like four of the superior 535 models and have change left over. For that matter, you could buy one 535, and then commission Pixar itself to paint some WALL-E artwork on it and still probably come out ahead. If I haven’t convinced you how dumb of an idea it would be to buy one of these, you’ll find them at the Disney Store in the Tokyo Disney Resort on November 20th.
Incidentally, WALL-E comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow. And if you didn’t catch the BURN-E vignette during the appx. 2 seconds that it was up here, you’ll be able to catch it on this DVD.
