 Website experience is worthless December 27, 2007
Judy B (Davie, FL)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got an epet for my 6 year old for Christmas, and convinced her that it was just as good as a Webkinz (which is what she wanted). That assurance deteriorated rapidly when trying to register and get into the website. Despite having the fastest DSL available, it took minutes for each page to load, and the audio skipped and stalled. It took about 3o minutes to finally get registered and my daughter had lost interest long before. We are returning the toy. If you are willing to pay $10 for a cute stuffed animal, then fine. But if your expectations include a fun online play experience for your child, skip this toy.
Shoddy knockoff product December 25, 2007

This is a cheap (as in poorly executed) me-too knockoff of a much better product. My daughter has both the original and an ePet. EPets are marketed as having an active on-line component. The website is small, restrictive, and (worst of all) the on-line games don't work. The games are the mechanism by which children earn currency to care for their pets, and my daughter is nearly in tears because her pet is going to "starve". The technical support is pathetic. After two or three suggestions -- update your Flash player, turn off your pop-up blocker -- they start pointing fingers elsewhere. They even tried to blame my ISP, which I haven't seen anyone else try for half a decade.
The plush toy is OK, I suppose. Don't expect to get anything out of the on-line experience. It's such a complete waste of money the advertising borders on fraud.
