My Nannybot deactivated today since the free 3 day battery ran out, for some reason the deactivation reminded me of robot movies like AI, Surrogates, iRobot and many more where robots were so involved in human everyday lives to the point where humans become desensitized and removed from their everyday normal life. Kind of like what Pet Society does to us! So if my Paborito already does that to me, does the Nannybot bring back a little subsistence to my life? Well not enough for me to purchase another battery. For those who don’t know, the NannyBot was released in Pet Society just recently, it’s a robot that cleans, feeds, and plays with your pet 24 hrs a day. In other words, your hygiene, happiness, and health meters will always be at the highest levels automatically. There is a catch however, the bot needs a battery to run, a battery that can only be purchased via playfish cash. Pet Society gave everyone a free nongiftable, non recyclable, non eatable battery as a gift type trial run, however you still had to buy the nanny of course at a meager 400 coins. To buy a replacement battery would cost you 5 cc’s at the Cash Shop. With the recent acquisition by EA, do you think we’ll be seeing more of these pay for play type items? I myself bought the nannybot to try it out, it was only 400 coins which is cheap for obvious reasons (my Elvis shades cost me 1300, how can shades cost more than the nannynator?) I’d say the best thing about this bot is you don’t have to worry about feeding your pet. The hassle of going to the Food Store and purchasing 20 apples, heading back home and just sitting and watching as your pet devour 5 or so to bring him back up to speed gets tiresome after awhile. It was a nice luxury, logging in to Pet Society seeing my pet’s health at full status. The cleaning and playing I don’t worry much about, anyway I never bathe my pet in hopes of him pooing a golden or rainbow poo someday (still hasn’t happened). Would I pay the 5 CC’s to have this luxury for 3 days? I don’t think so, if the nannybot was able to clean and play with other pets and earn me coins at the same time heck yeah. If I were to buy something with real money at the Cash Shop it would be something with status value, I mean that’s the reason we all play Pet Society is to show off your wares. The nannybot does none of that, it just tells players that you bought a nannybot for 400 coins and are shelling out 5 cc’s just to have it wash, clean and feed your pet for you. For now my nannybot will start collecting dust and be decor in one of my lonely undecorated rooms, too bad you can’t use her as a bookshelf. What are your thoughts on Nannybot?
