Sony Eyepet on PSP hands-on [Pocket-Lint]

Sony has turned to augmented reality to get you excited about its handheld console – the PSP – hoping it will be enough to sway would-be buyers of the Nintendo DS and its popular Nintendogs games.

EyePet, first debuted on the PS3 in 2009, has now made it to the PSP complete with the PSP camera; it allows you to play with a virtual pet anywhere you go, rather just in your lounge.

To make all this work you’ll need the Sony PSP camera on your PSP, and a special card that is shipped in the box.
