    This Friday, September 4, is Force Friday. A bunch of new Star Wars products tied to The Force Awakens will go on sale. One item is a remote BB-8 droid that can patrol your house and you can control with your phone.

    Check out the video from the manufacturer, Sphero.

    BB-8 is said to retail for $149.99. You can find more information on Sphero's website HERE. You can't pre-order it yet but you'll be able to purchase it there on Friday as well as Best Buy and Apple retail stores.

    $150 might seem like a lot but from what little we've seen of BB-8, it sure looks like they've captured its essence here. I know I want one now.

    It's a remote controlled ball that beeps and boops. I'd rather have a drone that flies and takes video.

    Yeah it doesnt look cheap at all, but still $150.. Maybe its worth to wait alittle till prices drop.

    Wow, that looks fun. I was thinking it must cost a lot during the commercial. Seems to do a lot. Might actually be worth it.

    The impulse buy is strong in this one. If you think about it, it looks like one of those things that look awesome but would get mostly bored with in a half an hour. Don't want to spend $150 on that.
