Finally: Plants vs. Zombies announced for iPhone and XBLA photo

No, really now. This isn't something we've heard, or some vague hints -- this is the real deal. A full-blown announcement. PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies is coming to both the iPhone, and as you may have heard, the Xbox Live Arcade.

As for the Xbox 360 version, they recently announced this, and the only thing the new press release says is that there is still no confirmed date for launch. The real news here is the iPhone version, which is slated to come to the App Store in the fall. No other details of this zombified tower defense port were given, but that's fine, as I know that we'll be playing it on the go before year's end.

If you're on a PC or Mac, the retail versions of Plants vs. Zombies have just hit shelves in North America at places like WalMart, Best Buy, and Target, selling for $19.95. PopCap cays that more stores will be carrying this title later this year.

I can't wait to fend off zombies with my phone! And kill my battery!

The iPhone version will definitely get me fired. But then I'll have all day to play the 360 version at home. WIN!

My wife is hopelessly addicted to this game. If we had an iPhone, I might not be able to ever start up a conversation with her, ever. Vs, you know, when she's at home, playing the game on my mac.

Damn, I thought this already was an iPhone game.

I'm interested in the XBLA version, but I hope they don't get too crazy with the pricing.

This game took over my life with its PC release. I don't know if I can justify getting it for the 360. Ah, heck, the Achievements will probably make me do it.

Sweet, the iPhone version is a must buy. Doubt I'll bother with the 360 version given I have it for the PC, but it's good that it'll get a wider audience.

I started playing it on my pc and while I really enjoyed it I couldn't finish it. But once IRS on the iPhone, I'll be all over it. He'll if they add compelung MP/Co-op to the xbla version I'd even double dip.
