Has the "Uncanny Valley" been surpassed?

If you don't know what "uncanny valley" is, here's the Wikipedia article.

Now, watch this, and you be the judge.

Personally, we're not quite passed it yet. The animation does look awesome, but, there's still some signs that it is CGI. I still notice the fact that she is not quite human.

It's simply very good, but I can't say I was convinced at all. Her head is an odd shape! Still would... :devil:

There is a game coming out later this year (PS3 only...?) called "Heavy Rain". That seems to be going to push the envelope quite far...
