Peggle XBLA has MULTIPLAYER :hyper

One of the most addictive and deceptively simple titles in the PopCap catalog is Peggle. The concept is simple. Destroy all orange orbs by shooting a ball into an open area. Think Plinko with orbs. Once you make the shot the ball bounces around the environment raking up points and combos for hitting -- and thus destroying -- all of the colored spheres in the environment. Sounds enthralling, doesn't it? Well, it is and soon Xbox 360 users are about to join in the fun.

In an interview with Uncle Gamer Radio, vice president of PopCap Games Greg Canessa announced the upcoming XBLA release of Peggle will hit the service for 800MS points ($10 USD). Need some perspective? When it originally launched on PC the title sold for $19.99. Additionally, Canessa finally revealed up to 4-players will be able to compete both locally and over Xbox Live. Peggle has yet to land a firm release date but Canessa did confirm the previously announced level packs will not be ready when the title ships unlike some other DLC. As long as they don't go all Lumines Live! on us, we're willing to listen.

so good :hyper :hyper :hyper

Peggle Coming to XBLA Soon
Another PopCap hit on the way.
by Erik Brudvig

September 24, 2008 - In an interview with Uncle Gamer Radio, Greg Canessa, VP of the Video Game Platform Group at PopCap Games, officially confirmed that Peggle will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade soon. Peggle is a critically acclaimed arcade game where goal is to clear orange pegs by shooting a ball at them from the top of the screen and bouncing it off various other pegs and obstacles. This release will have a two-player Arena mode and a four-player competitive mode, playable locally or over Xbox Live.

Though the Uncle Gamer Radio interview suggests Peggle will be out in 2008, IGN contacted PopCap Games directly and the company told us the game will release in January of 2009. Peggle will set you back 800 Microsoft points, a 50% discount over the PC release currently available.

This game isn't even finished yet and as far as I know the devs haven't set a firm date, although they did mention wanting to be finished by the end of November.  I guess January is a plausible release, but I wouldn't bet too much on it.

Motherfucker. Definitive version not on the PC?

This is unacceptable.
