Sony has confirmed to us at a holiday showcase event in New York City tonight that the PlayStation Eye game, EyePet, will definitely be heading to the US in time for the holidays. Our roving reporter, Andrew Yoon, says that the game will be available standalone as well as bundled with the PlayStation Eye camera.

Previously, the game was only announced for a European release after it was first revealed at Leipzig GC last year. We're happy to see the adorable simian-dog-thing will be making the jump across the Atlantic and won't be suffering from the chronic case of Q1-2010 flu that's making the rounds.

If you're hungry for more, check out Engadget's video from today's event, or our impressions from E3.

OPEN ME

They should advertise the hell out of it.

what carl said. Advertise. I amgetting this game so i can play it with my neace when she comes over

If they adbertise it good they can build huge momentoum around it and at Natal launch make people think: "Hey this is the same as that little monkey on PS3"

Or maybe not...

Or people will look at EyePet and think, "Hey, this is the same as that little monkey at E3."

I love you

I'm curious to see how many people give this a shot and what reviewers think of it.

I hardly know anything about this, but I'm sure the minors will love it.

I don't have an eyetoy, so this doesn't really concern me. But a "Holiday Showcase Event"? WAS GT5 AT THIS EVENT?! :D I'm only joking.

You are fully made of diamonds encrusted in plated gold win.
