EyePet out this year

Standalone or bundled with PlayStation Eye
Sony has confirmed that EyePet, its interesting PlayStation Eye-power virtual pet for PS3, will be out before Christmas.

Speaking at a recent event in New York, Sony revealed that the erm... game, will be sold as either a standalone or bundled with the PS Eye, according to Joystiq.

EyePet uses the PS3 camera and a load of clever tech to make it look as though a small animal is walking about in the real world on your screen, responding to your touch and other objects (check out the video to see).

And we'll have to confess to being interested in it. Even if it is for little girls.

Well, I have a little girl who will be close to one come Christmas, so I am definitely getting it.

I might even let her have a go.

That's the beauty of having kids. I can now go and watch Pixar movies at the cinema without looking like a sad-sack.

Eyepet actually looks really clever, doing things that Natal is supposed to be bringing to the table.

I already have the camera as well, which I predominantly use for putting my mug into games.

Not a pretty sight.

Glad I'm not the only one who fancies playing it...

...only to see if you can punch the animal, of course.

It does look alright. Although I only thought about getting a camera for online chat things like this make you want the camera part of it. Although does the camera reproduce game noises or is that just idiots putting there mikes to their TVs???

And I also want to punch the animal. ;)

I was hoping that I could draw a car and cause a head-on collision with a fruit bowl.

He better wear an helmet, that's for sure.
