Blue Christmas: EyePet Delay

Sony is the Grinch that stole Christmas, from legions of fanboy's and girls with the recent announcement that Eyepet will be delayed.

If you were among the many PlayStation 3 owners looking forward to a special holiday season spent playing with your fuzzy new EyePet thingamajig, prepare to be terribly disappointed. GameStop and Amazon both shifted the listed release data for the EyePet from November 2009 to April 2010, and now Gamervision has received the official word from Sony.

"The North American territory has decided to take additional time to focus on the EyePet product and can confirm it will not be available this holiday. EyePet is an innovative and exciting new IP to the PS3 platform and SCEA marketing will spend additional time to continue educating consumers and retail channels, setting the table for a successful product launch. We will provide more details on an updated launch timeframe very soon"
