The version I spent a weekend with may well have been from an early production run, so hopefully the one you mention may have a more refined user experience. The documentation that accompanied him/her/it looked like a very finished product, however, and I am told he came in retail packaging. We did follow the growth cycle instructions to a T, and he was not abused or mistreated so we assumed he was in fully grown mode. The battery warmth issue was also noted - so I am happy to hear that is being revised. I am not a gamer - i'm not fond of twitchy things in general. All I can say is that for 349.00 as interesting as the product may be from an AI standpoint - meh.
