it aint all that... my daughter is even getting bored of it now... its quite limited and easy to exhaust the things to do.

well thats what natal promises to do.

its a 10$-20$ toy.

after the hype it's gone you are done with it.

Careful, you're getting into the same territory that the Wii is a fad and will die.

The difference between Natal and Eyepet is that Natal is a piece of hardware that has limitless possibilites (though we'll see if people take advantage of that) and Eye Pet is a piece of software that what you see is what you get.

-edit-

And don't get me wrong, I think it's an interesting toy for a kid but like most toys, they'll forget about it after week and move onto their next toy.  Knowing that you have to ask yourself, would you rather spend $60 on a toy that last a week or two or $10 on a GIJoe or whatever that will last the same time?
