AR Drone from Parrot Now Available to Pre-Order

The AR Drone from Parrot, first seen at CES 2010 is now available to pre-order.

Following on from the news about pricing and availability back in June, you can now pre-order the AR Drone exclusively from Brookstone.

As you can see, it comes with a choice of three different colours. Personally I would have liked to have seen a nice black and white colour – but that just takes me back to my Airwolf days.

There is also a bundle kit which includes :

• Multi-colored outside hull for AR.Drone
• Spare rechargeable Li-Poly AR.Drone battery
• FREE case for iPhone® 3/3GS (in assorted colors)

This bundle kit for AR.Drone features an additional multi-colored outside hull that allows you to change the color of your AR.Drone for multiple-player aerial games. Its vivid colors allow you to easily follow the movements of your AR.Drone in flight. The colors are also recognized by the AR.Drone’s front camera, allowing it to identify a competitor in two-player battles.

Here is the video I shot at CES of the Parrot Drone.

You can pre-order your AR Drone exclusively from Brookstone for $299.99 and the bundle kit is $49.95.

I still want one! And I want it now!

You can learn more about the AR Drone from the AR Drone website.
I have just found out that it will be available to buy from August 18th here in the UK from HMV, but the price tag is £299.99 – why are we paying so much more yet again?
