Rolly is one of my favorite Sony’s robotic toys apart from AIBO, and its destiny is still undetermined, but for sure this generation is being phased out. From being Out of Stock for several weeks (Black version would pop up from time to time), and also selling off at SonyStyle retail stores for mere $99 a piece, Rolly made a come back at its online storefront with a price cut. It is currently being listed at $230. Not sure if Sony is just trying to sell off its remaining stock to say good bye to this dancing MP3 joy or possible prepare a new spot for a new debut of a forthcoming model? Sony US has not yet seen the pink version (SEP-50BT) currently selling in Japan.
Update: If you add a bundle to your order (carrying case and a charging cradle) the price of the Rolly drops even more – to $185! Your accessories also get a nice discount. Not a bad deal after all ….
