EyePet

Okay... I finally got to the drawing recognition part \^o^/ (Day 5 !)

It's done in a rather smart way. Initially, the Monkey did a terrible job recognizing our pictures. After 4-5 tries, it could recognize them perfectly. ^_^

Still not at the 3D car and plane recognition yet. My kid is elated.

Sony should have made the Tank War a separate PSN game. They don't seem to understand Instant Gratification.

I tried the 3D car and plane toy ! Very well done and reliable. The only problem is: It's tricky to hold up the paper in the right way for the camera to recognize. But hey, you can draw using Move also.

Considering that PS3 is a media platform, Sony really blew it when they only applied this technology to EyePet.

Also Kevin Butler's TV ad:

The others are funny and effective, but this one falls flat. Should let the game do the "talking". Show the drawing-turn-into-3D-object, and the EyePet sing-along.

EDIT: I also like the part where the kid is asked to avoid being caught by EyePet. My son was running around the livingroom, giggling uncontrollably.

Sony only needs to show these genuine kid-EyePet interaction moments to close the deal.
