Xbox's Major Nelson got a personal demo of the A.R. Drone and posted a short video via Twitter.

Looks amazing, still wonder how much it'll cost.

Apparently, it won't matter how much it costs.
Some people will do anything to have one, as evidenced by one of the comments on that webpage - "Wow! I will prostitute myself for one."

The BIG news: Parrot AR.Drone will be available for purchase at selected
retailers in SEPTEMBER 2010 in the United States for US$299 MSRP!

Their site is also now live!!

This is cheaper than I expected by about 200, can't wait to get one.

oh man, that's right at the price i could maybe talk myself into buying one

Bestbuy Canada has them on pre-order... "in there warehouse Nov. 1, 2010"

I would expect to see them on the shelves some time after that.

on a shelf in a real store is gonna make it almost impossible to not own one

Bringing this thread back as I just noticed on the FS website the Parrot AR Drone on sale for $299
Not cheap, but still as cool as when I first heard about it.

I've flown it about a dozen times now

only 8 minutes or so of flight time per charge

but omg it's awesome, lol
