Sony confirms EyePet release this year

And seeing as EyePet had until now only been confirmed for a European release, the odds are that it could be heading to UK retail in the very near future.



For those not in the know, EyePet uses the PS3’s PlayStation Eye to superimpose an image of a cuddly creature onto a moving video of the room and its inhabitants. Players are then able to interact with the creature via motions and sound – both of which the PSEye is able to recognise.



Visually, Sony has promised “Pixar-like fur and facial expressions”. It certainly looks agonisingly cute, that’s for sure.

A standalone SKU as well as a bundle pack with the PSEye are anticipated.
