Pleo Back From The Dead, Just As Expensive As Ever

If you wanted a Pleo but were wary of purchasing one since Ugobe went under last April, the good news is that new ones are (finally) back on the market again thanks to the acquisition of Ugobe by manufacturer Jetta. The bad news is that they’re exactly the same as the old ones, which means that all of the original Pleos that were available on Amazon for below wholesale cost have shot up in price. Still, this is good news in general for the Pleo community, assuming that Jetta manages to avoid the same issues that Ugobe had and actually make some money… If Pleo does well, we can hope for some accessories and software upgrades and maybe even some new models. Like maybe a carnivorous one, you know, to keep Pleo in shape. Wouldn’t that be fun.
