EyePet delayed until 2010

Oh dear.  If anyone knows my kids, they know the only thing they've been looking forward to since May was EyePet.  I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old.  While other kids might spend their days watching Dora or the Backyardigans, my kids have had the trailer for EyePet on an endless loop for 5 months. Hell -- the littler one pretends to be the kids in the video while the big one pretends to be the monkey.  She hides behind the couch and we have to tap the floor to make her come out, just like in the video.  These kids couldn't be more excited.

I just had to have a conversation with a 4 year old to explain why Santa is a douchebag sometimes and can't bring you shit that doesn't exist.  She was surprisingly cooler about it than you might expect.  On the bright side, I get an opportunity to teach these kids patience.  Oh -- and if you weren't already feeling a little sad for my kids, guess what?  This is your fault.

According to Joystiq, the SCEA marketing team "will spend additional time to continue educating consumers and retail channels, setting the table for a successful product launch."  That doesn't mean the game's not ready, that means there aren't enough people that give a shit about this yet to warrant a release.  I suppose we all have our parts to play in this.  You're not excited, but what have I done to excite you?  After all, I'm a part of the media, the great big hype machine, the information conduit to the awesomeness that is a pet monkey trapped inside your TV.

Ok.  You're off the hook.  This one is entirely my bad.

(And yes, I pulled a photo of my daughters first day at school in tears to tug at your heart strings.  That's just how I roll.  I exploit my kids.  You talk about EyePet.  It gets released.  Machivelli knows his shit.)
