Amazon.co.uk unveils EyePet box, bursting with cuteness

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 17th 2009 at 7:30PM }

Our love for EyePet should be clear. Why? Not only does it take advantage of the Eye in unique and innovative ways, it is absolutely adorable. It looks like London Studios, responsible for SingStar, has another casual hit on its hands. European retailer amazon.co.uk has posted what looks like the official box art for EyePet, and it looks oh-so-inviting. The titular mascot has its paws pressed against the box, beckoning for you to play with it.

Kotaku also points out that the box for this upcoming PS3 game looks rather different from other PS3 titles. Notice the lack of the PS3 banner on the left-hand side? The PlayStation Network is prominently featured, but were it not for the PS3 logo stitch atop the clear plastic, you'd be hard-pressed into noticing it was even for the PS3. Is this a subtle marketing change on SCEE's part, or is it something the online retailer is doing for what could be placeholder art?

bet you just made Kotaku feel dumb LOL

And who wouldnt notice right away its for PS3? 2 PSN logos, A Blu-ray case ,... you'd have to be a non-PS3 owner or braindead

Can't wait either kids will love this

I wonder what this will offer for trophies? I'm guessing it's gonna be the Easiest Ever or Hardest ever Platinum

they could have very well changed it since that was release a month or so ago...

but I'm with you...my kids are going to love it as well......my guess is it wont be TOO hard to get a platinum with that....unless its something crazy like "Play with your pet for 250 days straight" lol

Just add peanut butter for uber creepiness.

I dont know... if it where the 80s i will probably buy it. I hope this game end up in the PSN for $4.99 (after a year) and i will buy it just..that and a lamp, a white table and a rack so i can put my camara in the same position as the table.

Don't know about you guys, but I would like all PS3 game cases to have this look and format from now, because the PS3 logo/name is always embedded atop the clear plastic, which I think is all that is needed, and I never liked PS3 banner on the left-hand side, which just took up space that the game cover / box art could use.
