Update: Dream Cat Venus Now Available For Pre-Order, May Read Your Brain Waves
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 7 of July , 2009 at 3:40 am
We wrote about Sega’s Dream Cat Venus back in January, when details were still sketchy about the robotic pet replacement. Looks like details are still sketchy, but it’s confirmed to be shipping by the end of the month, and for less than we thought, at about $110. I’m sure it will have all the artificial mewing and purring and yowling you can handle. Oh, and the brain wave thing? This picture showed up in the Sega Toys press release:
I have no idea what it means, but that woman has a Dream Cat in her lap, what looks like some EEG sensors on her skull, and there’s a weird graphic to accompany it. My entirely baseless conclusion is that the Dream Cat Venus can read, and possibly feed off of, your brain waves. It is also possible that the Dream Cat Venus can in fact alter your brain waves and make you buy more Dream Cat Venuses. Is it likely that any of this is even remotely true? Nope. Should you panic anyway? Sure, why not!
You can pre-order Dream Cat Venus from GeekStuff4U for about $140. Yeah, it’s a mark up, but that’s what you pay to get these robot goodies from Japan here in the states.
