Sony Confirms EyePet US Release This Holiday

Joystiq:

"Sony has confirmed to us at a holiday showcase event in New York City tonight that the PlayStation Eye game, EyePet, will definitely be heading to the US in time for the holidays. Our roving reporter, Andrew Yoon, says that the game will be available standalone as well as bundled with the PlayStation Eye camera.

"Previously, the game was only announced for a European release after it was first revealed at Leipzig GC last year. We're happy to see the adorable simian-dog-thing will be making the jump across the Atlantic and won't be suffering from the chronic case of Q1-2010 flu that's making the rounds."

I can't wait!

/grabs a knife and fork and some ketchup!!

eye-pet bbq?

but it should be cool for the kids and the kids in some of us.

:)

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Well I will have plenty of room to eat a full meal with a giant table sitting in front of me. ;)

Yes, it's just jokes and if I can get the software without the camera since I already have one then I will be buying. My girlfriend has already stated she wanted it and my nephews will love it. I really hope they make it a PSN game for those who already have a camera.

[poopsack]

im sure the ps3 will be able to print out a magic card, which u need to do half the fun things in the game.

[PshycoNinja]

It says in the article that it will come in two versions: Standalone amd Bundled with the Eye.

My question is, does that mean the standalone version will be cheaper?

[FamilyGuy]

What's the price gonna be? I doubt this will be a $60 game so maybe $40 stand alone and $70 with the camera?

Either way, it seems like a good time/reason to get the camera if you didn't before as the PS3 Motion Controller is due out next year, presumably the first half of next year.

I REALLY want to know the cost so that i can compare prices with buying a stand alone PSEye.

Chalk another game to the PS3's already ginormous 2009 lineup.

Xbox 360? Not so much.

[user3915800]

I can see it already, spank-spank-spank & spank-spank the monkey lol...

Poor sony has no idea and are trying to invade wii territory.

Hurry up run for your lives here comes the 360 line up, hurry up and lie, stated the PS3 fartstation 3 community.

Where in the world its the fantard station? Right up your alley, spank-spank-spank & spank-spank-spank the monkey.

[MGOelite]

i cba with this, bring on uncahrted 2

[OmarJA]

Well that's great...

Milo devs could learn a thing or two.

[ActionBastard]

We have NO CLUE how unreal or uber lame Milo may or may not be. C'mon, I'm gonna show you how to focus on the topic little guy.

[ActionBastard]

Day one. My girls will love it.

[MTEC8]

for me also, this will keep the little ones entertained so I can take naps after thanksgiving meals this year LOL

[cyclindk]

iPet for Cwismas mommies?

[saint_john_paul_ii]

good that its bundled with the game, i wanted to get a PS eye primarly for the imminent PS3 motion controls that are coming next year.

in general its good that its coming this year. more exclusives.

[UltimateIdiot911]

If I get this, I hope my roommates don't feed it after midnight.

[ActionBastard]

That would make a killer patch.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Totally underrated. Did Natal blow you away? Get this instead. It's already out and less expensive.

[kalebgray92]

im a 19 year old male so im not going to buy it but parents should get this for their young ones very innovative natal is ok but this is kinda cool... maybe get it for my young cousin

[richter_party]

That thing looks kinda scary!

[REALgamer]

I thought it was originally going to be a PS Store downloadable game?...

Ah well, interested to see how well it turns out.

[Kenshinhimurasz]

yeah i thought it was going to be a PSN game too but i think they wanted to bundle it with the eyetoy and you also need the card with the game

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

and ppl believe the media is unbaised really ppl were blown away by an empty promise named Natal and a little boy called Milo which many journalist agree was just some smoke and mirrors yet Sony shows this and is ready to release the same idea as Milo way before Milo ( Milo launch release 20XX ) and this game uses the same idea as Natal which ppl can already buy in any store that sells PS3 add ons and no one talks about it , yeah the media is obviously not baised . on topic good to know Eye Pet is releasing this year it looks great for kids i was blown away by how they use the PSEye for this game and hopefully after this game releases retard fanboys can stop talking about Natal seriously guys Natal is just a fancy name for PSEye/Eye Toy rip off really Sony already beat MS to the punch in who delivered body motion sensing controls

[Kenshinhimurasz]

Awesome looking forward to this game, now I can use my eyetoy besides taking picture of myself on singstar

[PirateNinjaBunny]

Depends on cost though...

I keep trying to convince myself that it's a good excuse to get a PSEye or that it'll be great for my GF but the truth is I think it's cute as sh*t and I want it for myself period.

[tripewire]

This, LBP, Pixel Junk Bluray, bundled with a good Price cut = "Hello Nintendo, Remeber us?"

[clintos59]

I was going to buy the killzone 2 & mgs4 bundle but there all sold out in my area so I might buy this since i dont own a pseye & my nieces & nephews loved the trailer i showed them of eyepet so this is a bundle ill definately buy.

[PshycoNinja]

about this being bundled with the PS3. They said the game will come as a standalone game and bundled with the PlayStation Eye.

[devilhunterx]

Wish people stop using the "children" excuse.

We know you like it, just admit you want to get it for yourself.

I am. :)

[FamilyGuy]

I do have a daughter but i think i'll like this too

[nix]

sh!t that far away...? i was expecting this Fall. anyway.. it's good that's it's releasing this year.

[keysy420]

watch the sale on this one. this is a good move for sony this will get alot of eyetoys in people houses so motion control upgrades will be incredibly cheap. this really could be the holiday gift for little girls. put this on a demo in gamestop and its over

[vShinobi]

Looks cute I'll give it a try, not for the kids I won't makeup but for ME.

[skip2mylou]

i seriously want this for my self its so cute
