EyePet bundled with camera for 50 euros

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Aug 18th 2009 at 2:30PM }

Those looking to introduce a pet into the household without worrying about all the feeding, grooming, and post-pee castigation will be pleased to hear that Sony has announced a European bundle deal for its inescapably adorable EyePet game. While the company has confirmed that the camera-enabled carefest will arrive in North America this year, it has yet to establish a price for that region. EyePet will launch for €49.99 (roughly $70), camera included, in Europe this holiday.

We'll let you know as soon as we hear more or if we somehow manage to use the phrase "post-pee castigation" ever again.

Update: Retailers are currently accepting pre-orders for the standalone game (sans PlayStation Eye camera), with a UK price set at £19.99.

I just preordered mine sans-PS Eye on Amazon for £17. That'll make a good Xmas present for my daughter, and seems like an absolute bargain.

I already have the camera so I hope there is an option to save some money and buy the game alone.

bravo9zero @ Aug 18th 2009 2:39PM

But I already have a PS eye,
I hope they sell the game without the PS eye aswel.

I would be happy with access to Home or good priced PSN cards.

RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Aug 18th 2009 2:51PM

Thank you Scargi. I just had to go to Amazon to check what the price is going to be for the PS3 Slim, because nowhere thought fit to relay this information.

Jerses @ Aug 18th 2009 2:52PM

Mexico?

Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Aug 18th 2009 2:42PM

That thing looks weird but friendly but in the logo it looks like is staring at you and waiting the right moment to jump to your neck and chew your jugular.

wonder what the US price will be for it without the Eye...the Eye alone goes for like $35

Pat @ Aug 18th 2009 3:05PM

Back in the day Eye of Judgment was bundled with the PSEye at the price of a regular game ($60). I'm sure this will be the same.

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Aug 18th 2009 3:07PM

I already have a PSEye tho...so I'm hoping you can get the game only for under $40....$30 would be REAL nice

Tridrakious @ Aug 18th 2009 2:54PM

Sony is finally making some smart moves. I'm glad to see it.

AlphaOmegaSin @ Aug 18th 2009 3:10PM

they're to creepy looking for my taste....

BB @ Aug 18th 2009 8:54PM

Is that the costume included with the "Terminator 2" expansion pack?

No seriously, does it morph into goo and all that?

Nick @ Aug 18th 2009 3:45PM

Anyone know the name of that song?

Thank you for the UK update :)

Will it blend?

Seriously though, it looks kind of cool. I wonder how it will react to people in the screen. For example, if you're sitting close and the EyePet Monkey Cat thing comes up to your leg, will it recognize an object there or will it walk right through as if nothing were there? And also, please for the love of god let this NOT be like a Tomagotchi.

Pretty interested to see how this works out. And if it blends...
