idog: cute but quickly annoying

we’ve noticed that Sega’s idog was becoming a “hot gadget”, so we decided to share our experience: During our short trip to Tokyo, we brought an idog back. It was for a friend, and it sounded like a very good idea at the time, but when we got back home and started to test it, our feelings quickly went from “oohhh cute”, to “look at the lights”, to “it starts to annoy me with its sounds” in about 20 minutes. Then, we seriously looked at the (Japanese) manual to shut it up. Morality: get it if you think it’s cute, but don’t expect too much entertainment out of it.
