This toy pet grants access to an online world through a secret access code around the pet's neck. On the website, you can either stay indoors with your pet or take it out on the town. Visit the arcade, pet spa or post office. You can play games online, make purchases with "credits" and communicate with other ePet owners. Relying on the community to make the play experience worthwhile, the fun factor will depend on how much this concept catches on.

Bottom line: At $9.99, it's an easy way to own a pet without the pain of potty training!
