SCE Patents Teddy Bear That Gets Sad if You Don’t Play With Him

It’s not easy being a teddy bear – you’re a child’s first love, cuddled every night, cared for like a pet. But then the child discovers electronics, video games, girls. You’re left to lie in the corner gathering more dust than a Wii.

If I could punch that Ted movie, I would.

[TrendyGamers]

You didn't like it?

[Akuma-]

this bear is truly next gen product

[Chitown71291]

Go home Sony, youre drunk.

[gta2800]

I'm a big fan of those types of movies like Superbad and stuff like that but Ted was kinda lame.

[jony_dols]

Saw Ted in the cinema & wasn't too impressed.
It only became bear-able when you've hit a few bongs of Afghanistan's finest.

*sorry for the sh1t pun*

[dbjj12088]

Hug. You mean hug.

[Abash]

If they make a Sackboy version of that bear they'd probably have a hot holiday toy on their hands

[360ICE]

A 'hot' holiday toy.

...God, I'm mature for my age.

[Abash]

Uh "hot" is the term always used to describe items that are much anticipated or selling really well

And you sure do look mature with an icecream cone as your avatar

[360ICE]

Haha, yeah I know. It was a joke. Granted, a horrible joke.

"God, I'm mature" was just pointing out how stupid that joke was.

...but you somehow didn't pick up on that.

[AIndoria]

Ever heard of sarcasm, people ? :P

[Red_Orange_Juice]

^^^^nope, no one used sarcasm on n4g until now .....

[Amplitude]

lol whenever someone explains their joke it gets so unfunny that is becomes amusingly awkward.

[MattyG]

Why?!

[Red_Orange_Juice]

so they can create some kind of product with it sell it for money

[Rockefellow]

Agreed. What a terrible, terrible film.

[rpd123]

But it was hilarious...

[dbjj12088]

This is just weird. Way too many weird applications for this kind of technology.

[Knight_Crawler]

Pedo bear want this to happen.

[knifefight]

That was my first thought too.

[Megaton]

I think you've had enough, Sony. Go home and sleep it off.

[SilentNegotiator]

Sony's engineer team throws together another patent.

People act like it's releasing tomorrow in place of Uncharted 4.

Happens every week, it seems.

[XboxInnovation]

Sony wants that Wii crowd

[Dark5tar1]

So its like ROB or Ted?

[i_da_pappy]

How about a PS3 that screams in agony when it's dying? Lol j/k.

[Conzul]

OMG I just visualized that! ROFL!

ho shit you just made my day

[Rockefellow]

Please, no. I'd be in an insane asylum after my third PS3 broke a few weeks ago.

[Y_5150]

My PS3 did that once...Freak me out in the middle of the night.

[CalvinKlein]

the next generation Teddy Ruxpin.

[Eldyraen]

Makes me think of the movie AI personally--but I thought the same thing as well. I had one when I was growing up ;)

[cannon8800]

Artificial Intelligence is an epic movie. Never gets old too.

[Eldyraen]

I'd buy one and make it face a corner just to watch it cry--is that wrong?

[JonnyBigBoss]

Oh god I want one!

[dafegamer]

i wonder if skynet is going to be real one day lol

[doctorstrange]

Teddinators

[dafegamer]

XD *slow clap*

[Convas]

*Queue Inception horns, rumbling bassline, and deep, serious narrator*

"Neglected for the last time, these teddies mean business."

In theaters Summer 2014!

[Cryptcuzz]

If made in conjunction with a kids game with enough depth and content, I can see this being a hit with kids if advertised correctly.

Of course the bear or anything they deem more marketable would have to be bundled with the game at a reasonable cost.

On top of that, if they make more versions of the "bear" with different personalities, both outside and through the game and sell them like those Skylanders game, it might be a hit for them.

[insertcoin]

Children should not be taught to hug bears anyway. Unless you're on Fulsom Street.

[GreenRanger]

"It’s not easy being a teddy bear – you’re a child’s first love"

[RPG1201]

I truly hate Ted and everything it stands for.

[doctorstrange]

Technology, Entertainment and Design?

[Eldyraen]

Nope, Theodore as everyone knows Simon is the best and Alvin is just a pretty face.

[BitbyDeath]

How sad, should you not leave sharp objects around kind of sad?

[kma2k]

Serisouly some of my kids toys anoy me enough already i really dont want some damn bear telling me to play with it!

[brandonb21]

i loved that movie gawd...

[rainslacker]

Furby says, "Hi"?

[Tsukuyomi]

GATHER MORE DUST THAN THE WII LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was funny yo

[BananaEatingSquid]

I liked Ted a lot too.

But this patent... this seems kind of creepy. Especially the thing about following your gaze- when I was little I used to be scared at night that my stuffed animals were watching me.

[THC CELL]

this is old? http://www.pushsquare.com/n... ok im wrong

[Blacklash93]

If you ignore it long enough it starts telling kids to murder their parents and everyone getting in the way of playing with it.

[TemplarDante]

A Teddy like the bear in that movie A.I :)
Awesome! I would train it to kick a Nintendo fanboy in the nuts everytime articles relating to how "the Wii U CPU is slow and it doesnt matter" make it to the front page. The evolution of Eye Pet meets Tamagotchi meets Chucky the Goodguy doll in the making! lol

EDIT: this is actually the second patent for a doll/teddy like this. There was one dated 2011 and 2012.

[Soldierone]

I hope they don't have "in game" friends lol first think I thought of when reading this was the old Microsoft buddies that sat there and annoyed the hell out of you in Office, unless you were wasting time messing with them.

On a row of tests and being busy, I don't want my video game console making it even worse by feeling neglected haha

[goldwyncq]

Pedobear version, anyone?
