This review is from: Rescue Pets my epets Golden Retriever (Toy)
This toy is a complete waste of money. My 8 year old wanted this so badly. On Christmas she opened it and WAS SO EXCITED. After seven hours of trying to get on the site to log in.... we found that the "code" was invalid and would not allow her to log-in her pet (the code had "already been used"). We bought this from a reputable, well-known company and it should have been valid, but there is no contact information on the site to rectify this issue, so we are out the funds and she is upset. We have a very expensive, useless 5" stuffed animal.
Her sister, who also received one, lost interest after a one hour and 45 minute hassle of trying to NAME the animal (only one name can be used per animal on the entire website--so out of 1,000,000 people who bought this, all names are exhausted....) What a crock!
Anyway - the site is horribly slow, the naming is bad, and my kids are disappointed. Save your money and get a Webkinz. They stand behind a quality product. This is a wasteful attempt by a company to reproduce and profit from an idea of an already successful product by a company that did it right. I regret this purchase completely.

This review is from: Rescue Pets my epets Golden Retriever (Toy)
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.
