Agreed. You shouldn't have even posted it on this topic
, though many posts with people describing the ebay sites advertising this. Although this is not true, These are the basic things you need to know...
Sometimes, people who want to make money like Bandai create virtual pets that almost copy the Tamagotchi. Often when buying on the internet, people say they are a Tamagotchi, when infact, they are not.
Ways to tell if a Tamagotchi is real:
* Three buttons
* The BanDai logo on the back of the Tamagotchi, and on the box somewhere
* Spelt "Tamagotchi", not "tamogotchi".
* Tamagotchi should be able to connect with other real Tamagotchis. Fakes generally cannot connect with real Tamagotchis
Hope this helps...
