Pixel Chix - my daughter will love this!

This is going on my daughter's Christmas list.

Pixel Chix are basically a revamp of Tamagotchi except instead of a virtual pet, Pixel Chix become your V.F.F. (thats Virtual Friend Forever - get with the program!).

The setup is a small plastic dolls house with a chunky B&W LCD overlay - at the bottom are seven buttons that you use to help your pal decide what to do.

She has her own attitude so if you ignore her too long she taps her feet, cobwebs grow and eventually she'll crack the shits and leave. Just like a real woman! If you tell her to go to bed during the daytime she'll think your nuts and go off to sulk. The idea of course is that you look after your pal, helping her make the right decisions expands her world so she accumulates foods, fashions and games. She'll play guitar, sing karaoke, adpot a pet or order some junk food.

Each house has a connector at the base so you can connect them up - once connected the pixel chix will walk next door and visit her friend.. neat-o !

Pixel Chix cost about AUD$60 - more here [JUMP]

Hi, well this is really an Australian site but to help you out I did a google.co.uk search and found this place retails them online in the UK.
