The 60 levels of PopCap's peg-busting, ball-bouncing sequel Peggle Nights (PC) are coming to the Xbox 360 iteration of Peggle in the form of downloadable content.

The expansion pack is due out this fall, developer PopCap announced today, noting that it "includes all the levels and challenges from the PC and Mac versions of Peggle Nights" and has been "tuned specifically for the [Xbox Live Arcade] player." No price was given.

"Peggle Nights essentially doubles the size of the Peggle XBLA universe," boasted Peggle co-creator Sukhbir Sidhu. A breakdown of the pack follows... Read more

PopCap's Nintendo DS port of popular peg-pinging puzzler Peggle is currently available on Amazon with a whopping 50% discount, down to a trifling $9.98.

The offer only lasts until around midnight PDT, so get your skates on lest you miss out on possibly the deal of the century. Thanks to Shacker liqker for his keen Pegglevision.

Now available on FileShack is Peggle: World of Warcraft edition, a free stand-alone edition of PopCap's popular peg-pinging puzzler themed around the Blizzard MMORPG.

The 13MB download contains ten new levels starring World of Warcraft allumni including Ragnaros and the infamous Hogger himself, as well as ten new challenges.

This dangerous melding of addictions began last year with a Bejeweled add-on for World of Warcraft last year and continued with a Peggle add-on for the MMO.

As if the existence of Peggle on the iPhone and iPod Touch wasn't enough of a threat to productivity, creator PopCap has substantially increased the so-called "danger zone" by temporarily offering the super-happy addictive ball bouncer at a mere $0.99. With the iPhone game originally priced at $4.99, that bounces the savings up into the region of somewhere around 80%. Even the iTunes App Store description is excited:

SUPER SALE! FOR A VERY LIMITED TIME, GET PEGGLE FOR AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PRICE! ACT NOW THOUGH BECAUSE THIS SALE ENDS AT MIDNIGHT ON JUNE 14TH! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

An extremely feverish thanks to Shacker Demius for the heads up.

Continuing its pursuit of global domination, PopCap has now released a version of its addictive peg-busting ball-bouncing casual title Peggle for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Priced at $4.99 and available from the iTunes App Store, the 10.2 MB download packs the same gameplay as the beloved PC, Mac, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, mobile, iPod and World of Warcraft versions that came before it, with a PS3 release in the works.

55 levels, all pulled from the original Peggle, are included, with the touch-controlled game also supporting a turn-based two-player duel mode as gamers seek to eliminate all the orange pegs from a stage before running out of pre-allocated bouncy spheres.

Having missed the "early March" target, PopCap's long-awaited iPhone and iPod Touch rendition of casual sensation Peggle will finally arrive May 12, Joystiq reports.

The exact cost of the App Store download is still under consideration, but the site speculates that it will "probably fit into a more 'premium' price range between $5-6."

No other details on the latest release for the unicorn-tastic ball-bouncing title--already on PC, 360, DS, iPod and World of Warcraft, with a PS3 version on the way--are known, though Joystiq slyly notes that it "is no half-baked port" and "PopCap nailed it."

PopCap today announced the release of its popular casual game Peggle as free add-on for World of Warcraft.

Strangely enough, the Peggle port is rather impressive, including WoW-themed backgrounds and a custom "talent tree" to spec out your Peggle skills.

Also provided is a new "/peggleloot" option, which allows players to "roll" for loot based on the best Peggle shot--a feature truly reinforcing the random nature of Peggle.

Both the Peggle and Bejeweled World of Warcraft add-ons can be grabbed from FileShack.

The long-awaited downloadable Xbox 360 release of PopCap's ball-bouncing puzzle game Peggle will arrive this Wednesday, March 11, at the price of 800 MS Points ($10). The goal is simple: take out the colored orange pegs before you run out of shots.

Along with 55 single-player levels and 75 Challenge mode stages, the Xbox 360 release packs two multiplayer modes, the two-player duel mode and four-player peg party mode. Both can be played online over Xbox Live, and the duel mode can also be played offline.

The release also packs online leaderboard functionality, so you can see how well you stack up again the rest of the Pegglelites, and support for downloadable content.

Causal game publisher PopCap today kicked off Peggle Fever, a three-month long "pronounced period of peg-popping pervasiveness."

The promotion is meant to celebrate the different kinds of "pure Peggle pleasure" that players can experience on a variety of platforms.

The Nintendo DS version of the physics-based ball bouncing game officially arrives at reatilers today, in the form of Peggle: Dual Shot, with PopCap confirming that the long-awaited Xbox Live Arcade and iPhone iterations will arrive within March. Furthermore, Peggle will be available for mobile phones running Android come May.

Today will also see the debut of the second free level pack for Peggle Nights (PC), and the launch of PopCap's Peggle Art Contest, which concludes on June 3. Over $10,000 in prizes are up for grabs, including trips to PopCap's Seattle headquarters, limited edition Peggle merchandise, and iPhones and Xbox 360s packed with Peggle.

"To date, Peggle and Peggle Nights combined have been downloaded more than 45 million times--yet the games remain modest commercial successes by PopCap standards," the company said today.

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: Peggle will hit iPhone and iPod Touch in early March, PopCap tells Joystiq.

Original: PopCap's deviously addictive ball-bouncing peg-busting joytastic game Peggle will finally make its iPhone debut this year, going by a now-removed PopCap Twitter.

"peggle for iphone planned for this year as well," read the update to official PopCap Twitter, which was archived by Joystiq after Wired reported the news.

An iPhone release was no-so-subtly suggested in March 2008, when Apple sent out a press release about the iPhone SDK. Within, PopCap said the SDK would provide "the tools to innovate and reinvent games like Bejeweled, Zuma and Peggle [on iPhone]."

This year should also see the oft-delayed Xbox Live Arcade version of Peggle, with a Nintendo DS edition, Peggle: Dual Shot, due in early March. They'll join the PC and iPod versions that are already available, along with last year's PC sequel Peggle Nights.

Rez developer Q Entertainment's Nintendo DS take on PopCap's beloved unicorn-tastic ball-bouncing PC game will arrive on March 3, 2009, Wired reports.

Rechristened Peggle: Dual Shot, the portable edition was announced earlier this year, and is said to bring " features unique to the DS version," along with "a wealth of surprise additions sure to please die-hard fans and novice players alike."

The March 3 date narrowly fits within the winter release timeframe promised by PopCap, with the winter season officially ending upon the 2009 vernal equinox on March 20.

The Xbox Live Arcade version of Peggle, once tentatively slated for a Q2 2008 release, is far from dead. In fact, it's still alive, almost done and will cost just 800 MS Points ($10).

PopCap's addictive ball-bouncing downloadable PC title will arrive on Xbox 360 by the year's end, PopCap VP Greg Canessa promised Talking About Games. Its release was postponed to give the team more time for polish, but the game is now about to enter Microsoft's certification process.

Peggle Nights, the newest ball-bouncer from PopCap

In a Peggle series first, the Xbox Live Arcade release will include a variety of multiplayer modes. A two-player Arena mode will be added as well as a four-player competitive mode that's playable on one system or over Xbox Live.

When asked for comment, Shacknews resident Peggle Master Chris Faylor hyperventilated. His response was unintelliglble, but it is believed his attempted comments were in regard to his new copy of Peggle Nights.

Casual games publisher PopCap has announced that its beloved bouncing ball simulator Peggle will arrive on Nintendo DS this winter, with the game's development being handled by acclaimed Japanese studio Q Entertainment (Rez, Lumines, Meteos).

The DS edition is expected to carry a $29.95 price point, more levels than any past Peggle game, "features unique to the DS version," and what PopCap referred to as "a wealth of surprise additions sure to please die-hard fans and novice players alike."

Already released on PC, Mac and iPod, the Pachinko-esque offerings of Peggle, which require players to eliminate colored pegs, have won over many a cold-hearted gamer despite its use of unicorns, rainbows, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

A DS edition of Peggle was rumored earlier this year. At the time, PopCap noted that a Nintendo DS version had not yet been approved, but that it was "eager to bring its peg-popping pleasures to as many appropriate platforms and devices as possible."

A downloadable Xbox 360 edition of Peggle is in the works as well, though it has missed its tentative Q2 2008 release window, with a PC sequel, dubbed Peggle Nights, also known to be in development.

Addressing recent reports, casual developer PopCap has denied that a Nintendo DS version of Peggle is currently in development, though it hopes to eventually bring the beloved ball-shooter to more platforms.

"We have ambitious plans for many of our titles including Peggle, and are eager to bring its peg-popping pleasures to as many appropriate platforms and devices as possible," said PopCap video game platform VP Greg Canessa. "But Nintendo has not approved this product, we have not signed a developer to port Peggle to DS, and we have not green lighted this project."

Earlier this year, PopCap confirmed than an Xbox Live Arcade edition of Peggle was tentatively slated to arrive in Q2 2008. A sequel, dubbed Peggle Nights, is also known to be in the works.

Update: Peggle is indeed headed to Xbox Live Arcade and is tentatively slated for a Q2 release, a PopCap representative has confirmed to Shacknews.

Original Story: PopCap's ultra-addictive and mega-colorful casual gaming sensation Peggle is on its way to the Xbox 360, according a listing on the Entertainment Software Rating Board web site.

Though not officially confirmed, the title is expected to be a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade game, as past PopCap Xbox 360 releases, such as Zuma, have been. It has been assigned an "E for Everyone" rating.
