I, Robot, a movie based off of an Isaac Asimov story, will be coming out this July.

To promote the movie, Fox has set up this little "NS-5" thing. Basically, they make it seem like one of the robots that will be CGed into the movie is actually a real robot that is going to be available for purchase in July as well. The robot shown on the website (above) is displayed with technology that is way ahead of our time (30-50 years).
Why is the site BS?
3 Laws Safe, the logic protocol claimed to be in the NS-5, is from an Asimov story. The 3 laws are:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Also, the corporation that is apparently building the "NS-5", US Robotics and Mechanical Men, and Dr. Lanning is also from Asimov.
Ya... I have to be honest, I fell for it after having seen an ad displaying the URL in a movie theater (gasp, who could have guessed)
