It's a Sony product. It's not a TV. Therefore, by default, it sucks balls and ass.

Both hands on the stick, lift up on tip-toes as you swing the head back and up in a graceful arc, and then everything in you pulls down...BANG!!

I like it.

But I'd love it if it had some hydraulics on it, some 18s and blasted some old school snoop dog with a gucci paintjob.

As a robot lover (interpret that as you wish), I think this is cool and like it's got a unique form. I can't see actually using it much, but that's the case with most toy robots (I certainly don't see it as a music player)... Wonder how much you can control it's movement?

This would be cool if some random maker had put it together. I mean, as a one off nifty hack, it's great.

But for a company to actually devote millions to develop and market it? That's just stupid.

I look at it and say.. "Why?"

Does this thing take 32 D-Cell batteries or what? I bet if they marketed it as "Cat Terrorizer" instead of Rolly, it would sell out immediately!!

At first i was afraid...
I was petrified...

But then i just burst into laughter.
I want one. Just to hide it in a friends room in the middle of the night and program it to wonder around randomly and play loud music. Its HARD to catch fast moving things late at night, you know. Also, it sort of looks like it is trying to fly.

leMel — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:42:38 EDT

This appears to be a kind of free-range Leslie speaker.

(The B3 fans will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.)

Everyone is so focused on the goofy appearance - I'm thinking that being in the room and hearing the sound might help people 'get' this.

Pegleg Joe — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:37:10 EDT

Yeah I don't really get it. It seems to mess with the sound quality by rolling and flapping things over the speaker. I guess I'm supposed to watch it the whole time and be entertained?

leMel — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:35:57 EDT

Okay, this might be interesting - the 'cups' are modulating the speaker sound, right? - especially when it spins.

I think you have to hear this in person to understand. Imagine a few in a room synchronized...wow.

They've basically invented a free-range Leslie Speaker.

Thats exactly what I want. My stereo to dance like my Aunt Margie. Great. I am fulfilled. Thank you Sony.

Lemme ask; does it come with a pack of razor blades so you can end your life after you plug it in? Do the razor blades sing and dance too? What the hell is the problem with Sony? They dont have anything better to do then make a speaker dance like a retard on Ritalin?! GOD!
