There might be something wrong with the inside of my brain, but I’m actually excited for Sony’s creepy-yet-cuteEyePet. 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 bethrilled to learnthat theEyePethas an official release date, and will be terrorizing children and the elderly on November 17.
TheEyePetsoftware 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 thanEye of Judgementever 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 usualKillzone 2obsessive. 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 anEyePet.
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.
