Casual game developer PopCap and publisher Sony Online Entertainment have partnered to release five of PopCap's PC titles as downloadable PlayStation 3 games.

The first effort, the color-matching puzzler Bejeweled 2, will hit the North American PlayStation Store later today for $9.99. Zuma, Heavy Weapon, Feeding Frenzy and the beloved ball-bouncing, peg-busting game Peggle will follow in the future.

A downloadable version of Peggle is also slated to hit Xbox 360 at some point this year, with iPhone and Nintendo DS editions due out in early March.

Update: Microsoft has made the price cuts official and the games' lower prices appear in Xbox Live Marketplace.

Original Story: Microsoft will be adding three popular Xbox Live Arcade games to its Arcade Hits collection, giving price cuts to downloadable versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Worms, and Feeding Frenzy.

The Arcade Hits website was recently updated with the three games and lists them all as retailing for 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

Xbox360Fanboy, who noticed the additions, points out that the new price reflects a 50% discount for all three games.

The price cuts have not yet taken effect on the Xbox Live Marketplace. While Microsoft has not made any announcements on the matter, an official confirmation is expected in the near future.
