There might be something wrong with the inside of my brain, but I'm actually excited for Sony's creepy-yet-cute EyePet. If you're yet to hear about it, it's a furry little monstrosity that uses the trendy "augmented reality" fad to interact with players via the gift of the PlayStation Eye. People who are just as maladjusted as me will be thrilled to learn that the EyePet has an official release date, and will be terrorizing children and the elderly on November 17.
The EyePet software will set you back $39.99, and that's without the camera. A version bundled with the Eye is $59.99. All in all, this is probably going to be a much bigger incentive to getting a PlayStation Eye than Eye of Judgement ever was. That said, it'll be interesting to see if Sony's current consumer base will be interested in something like this. I certainly am, something tells me I'm not quite like the usual Killzone 2 obsessive. I can't imagine a man who uses the word "Fag" like it was going out of style will be tripping over himself to own an EyePet.
Still, it's looking like it'll be a great little toy and it's certainly less terrifying than Milo. I personally can't wait.

...And I really really want one.
I probably won't get this game, mostly because it's not aimed for me.
And I'm kidding I love my dog... wait, what? I don't have a dog. Oh, God!
I think people maybe interested but when it comes to dropping down $100 for it they will come to their senses, and laugh about how stupid they almost were.
In how many ways can I kill it?
I can't wait to draw a dick-tank and let the critter ride it across the screen and well, virtually, across my leopard chair. It's gonna be awesome.
I know that sony will fuck us mexicans.... games are normally 80 to 90 dollars... It'll be 100 dollars with the eye toy...
Uh, awesome, fag. (?)
As for the article, I'm not really particularly excited for this game for what it is, but for the tech built into it. Maybe if we're lucky there'll be a demo.
Compare our game prices with the social security we get.
Plus EyePet will launch for €49.99 plus retailers are currently accepting pre-orders for the standalone game (sans PlayStation Eye camera), with a UK price set at £19.99.

Little weird hairy big-eyes creatures are worse than a boy?
I don't see anyone over 10 playing this.
also no mon chi chi references?
@Takeshi, i personally can hardly see the benefit of social security in Europe. Policemen/firemen (for example) seem to do their job just fine over in the US. And i can't remember the last time i got to "benefit" from public healthcare since i also got a (much better) private plan with my employer. And while i would be content with a 20% price hike (that was the USD/EUR parity about 5 years ago, afaik) we gotta remember that the EUR is 1.4 USD now and prices (with some companies, Sony and Ninty are the offenders for us gamers) have NOT adjusted.
