Is it worth $300 ... meh depends, powered it up and disliked the controls being a normal RC guy used to sticks and pistol grips, but seeing my 5 yr old daughter finally play with an RC after trying to get her into RC's ... priceless.
If Sphero every adds a traditional stick controls to it's app and I will bump it up to a 5 star

**update, app stuck on updates, 4 hours in. From online research seems to be a common issue. I f***ing hate this company ruined my 3yr olds Christmas. Take my return and throw it in the garbage pile that I’m sure is 3 stories tall now. Wish I could sue sphero for my wasted wrapping paper expenses, seems small but imagine your kid is McQueen fanatic and crying on Christmas as you jam this turd back into the box for return. Thanks sphero for making my kid cry on Christmas

There's some cons: the connectivity is complex and unreliable. The initiation is cumbersome as there are required updates which don't go so smoothly. As another review pointed out there's no hardware control. I actually don't mind this but once the app ceases to be supported, what happens to this? It's basically nothing without the app. So much for collectability.
Update in the year 2022, apps no longer supported or available and seems my car is now dead
