I want one !!!
Ive seen this in action before but was pessimistic, now ive seen it in action im pretty positive about it and the cute movement and light effects make it a real nice thing to have. the only bad thing is its price really, i cant see myself paying that much for it.
Looks really cool. Would love to play some Drum & Bass or Dubstep through one!
メタルおたくmetalotaku, Same here. But now that its become so useful, I'd probably buy the Rolly 2 if it has tons of upgrades. Unless Sony decides to give me another one ^^; Having no headphone jack is a downer.
Rolly seems pretty cool, I would love to have one, but no way would I buy one! Holy cow those things are expensive. They're still pretty sweet though.
hahaha man i can see my self investing in that Just to clarify it does actually work with Leopard if you bluetooth it? It would be great to use this with my macbook, as I don't really use my pc anymore
I'm sure this thing would be fun to watch but I guess that I wouldn't use it for listening to music that much. I prefer my stereo and its bass and use my Ipod while I'm not at home :D *cough* typo alert *cough* I'm sure you meant clockwise ^^"
Asian_Ethics, Works well with Leopard, Tempest, Yikes! Thanks for that (phew) ^^;
What's the size of memory's on the rolly? And you should really play some funk music next time you dance Danny. I'd suggest Jamiroquai... maybe his song "Little L"?
Rolly follows you everywhere lol, nice; especially into the bathroom. I'm not sure if I really want to get it, it would be fun, but probably lose its favor with me for something else in the future. Pretty cool how you get awesome gifts like this though, wish I did lol.
I was about to buy one until I saw the price.. A little too much for me.
You can attach it to you suit and it actually matches the stormtropperness style.
The Rolly is the cutest thing ever. WAAAAAAANT. D:
Hey I remember something like this, you showed us a peek right? Didn't one of your friends or colleague create this? I do like how it is though. Over in America we have little animal robots that move around to the music you hook up to it. However, Rolly takes the cake. IMO it's pure win. Rolly get. I'm a Mac user too, I'll find a way..
Nifty design. Rolly was trying to look up Fauna's pantsu from the underneath ^^; By the way, is that you in your new office?
Against my better judgment I picked up a Rolly a few months ago. I agree that it has vastly exceeded my expectations for utility. Mas particularly pleased that it will sync with most of the bluetooth enabled devices I won, including my Logitech Freepulse transmitter dongle. Now I have a battery powered portable speaker system that plugs into anything with a headphone jack (including my ipod!). If I could only keep my Aibo from constantly trying to take a leak onto it tho...
Man, the Rolly looks so cool. I can just imagine the time I'd waste watching it.
ok, so when is it coming out in the States? or who do i threaten to make it come out in the states? I want one... would sure make work more interesting...
The lighting effect on the Gundams looks good. I remember looking at this one a while back, Interesting to see if it does well. Personally, I like huge speakers, and my whole house is wired for speakers with my remote, so its redundant if I got something like this. I havent used the surround sound in the bedroom in a while though. Does it get loud? Loud enough for a party?
When I first saw this, I just glanced over it and thought it was another dorky gadget. Now that I've seen one in action... Oh heck yea, I want it (^_^)
Because he's holding a thermal groovinator! heh^^; But seriously me want, that looks like such an amazing little thing, it's like it's living in the music and showing you the sounds. But that price is a little eek inducing, hmm but maybe if I introduce my father to it, he loves stuff like this. I wonder what kind of attention you'll draw when pulling that from your trooper suit? Is it ok to play your personal music in public? I heard there was some sort of public performance ban there too, or is that just for large crowds of people?
The Song!!!... is in my head!!! a can't take it out of my head... burned forever!!! (@.@)
An egg on the dancefloor. *laughs* I wonder what happens when some Haro joins the party... Must be quite a team. XD I also LOLed at the video with the cat. However and sadly it was not about some energetic song (wonder what would have happened if it was trance that was played) and the feline was a bit too lazy for my taste. At least no probable damage from the "meow-meow~" uttering creature. Finally, I'd like to comment on the last picture: "Should I report my newest finding to Lord Vader? Nah. I will keep this artifact for myself, which seems to be an advanced music box".
D blade, LOL, this stormtroopers is going to get lord vader really angry if words on this.. treason, reach lord vader's ears ^_^
@Benjamin Takeyo: Stormtrooper: "My Lord, this was not treason, it was beta-testing. Like servants of the Pharaoh assuring that the food was not poisoned."
Ah! Wicked cool Danny. How much did it put a dent in your wallet? I've heard they've announced it to release in the US at the CES. So there is a glimmer of hope for us over here stuck in the state side.
Lord Vader: "Your failure is complete!" *choking sounds*
That's awesome! LOL @ When you hold it, it looks less like a dancing thingamajig and more like some sort of grenade
ChiisaiRamen, link that to the post below... I guess you'd be in real trouble with zealous police officers with that in hand. ^^;
thats really cute! plus, love how you take pictures with fauna around.
I suppose its cool for those who live in Japan, but Amazon has it listed as "Not able to ship outside of Japan". Shame really.
While I think it's cute and all, I still can't see Rolly as nothing more than a gimmick... One that will be fun to have for some time, but after some week tops, it'll just go to the back of the drawer... Would be an interesting piece to have on determined ambients though. Also: I still don't know what are it's full capabilities... is it just a MP3 player that makes some movements and blinks some lights?
"Ah, Fauna in the lounge again." *snikers* Actually I like the one where she looks like she has her knee on the rolly
looks very cool. i'd definately pick it up, but unfortunately i'm a mac user, so i'll probably have to pull it up on my parallels windows XP on here... the video with the cat was funny.
Yeah the Rolly is really cool =) use it all the time. I got it when it first came out i couldn't resist at all! Its really cute too.
ohhhhhhh. yes please.
I'd have to listen to the sound quality first, but might be a neat gizmo to play around with for a bit. It would need to be a decent portable speaker after all the flashy novelty wears off. Then again, who knows when it'll get here if ever. Filed under maybe.
i would only use it as portable speakers
DOes it come with a strap or something so you can bring it around and not hold it all the time? I'd have to hear it first before I'd say a yes but its got potential. Plus side is that it's small.
That'd be a pretty awesome thing to have. Plus for only 39,000 yen that's pretty cheap. Shame it'll only last 5 hours.
The Rolly was doing some panchira action on Fauna LOL! It looks really cool, I like how it dances... Me want one...
omg i must have the rolly O[]O i wish there is a black coating for it also lol XD
is rolly aware of it's surroundings or if i had it on a table would it jive straight off the edge?
I can see any purpose of having Rolly around. Basically, it's an MP3 player ( lousy one apparently as it has crappy software support), that "dances" around while playing music. I was hoping for some extra features but as far as I can see, it has none. Does Rolly only plays music while spinning and glowing in blue? If so, it's nothing that attracts me to buy one. I am sure tho, it was fun to play with it for a little while.
@D Blade: haha i suppose, but then again you wont have any much more trouble compared to someone who has this one their backpack and is 1. Wearing a Bandana 2. Has camo pants 3. "Looks Weak" ya get my drift XD
yeah its price is way too high. rather get bose for ipod
Polyrhythm~~ EARWORM!! OMG. I'm so severely tempted to get a Rolly now! Danny has poisoned us! I'm more intrigued by the way it dances to the beats and stuff!
I thought the song is sing by Miku o.o
Cool gadget.. A speaker that dances.. Love the neon lighting.. The video with the cat is cute.. ^_^
@XSportSeeker: Are you sure about this? I'll laugh all day with that. Imagine! And egg going night club and freestyling anytime you want it! By the way, they should invent a disco ball version for the nostalgics out there. @ChiisaiRamen: *Tilts head on the side* Hmmm... I dunno. *Wild imagination takes the lead* Officer, upon noticing Rolly: Step 1: Huh? Step 2, outcome 1: "!"... *Gives alert* Step 2, outcome 2: "?"... Oh, that's just an egg. *Walks away* (No that's probably not that) XD
