Plants vs. Zombies for XBLA dated, priced photo

Following an achievement leak this weekend, PopCap games has decided announce the first details on the Xbox Live version of Plants vs. Zombies.

Scheduled for release in early September, the title will feature two new multiplayer modes, 12 achievements, and 21 mini-games unique to the XBLA version. The game will also feature a new way to track and share progress online, with players creating their own custom homes which can be visited by friends. PopCap also says this will be the prettiest version of the game to date, with the highest resolution of any platform at 1920 x 1080.

Cost? $15, or 1200 MS Points. A "Game of the Year" edition of the PC/Mac original will ship to retail for $19.99, that additional five bucks getting you a zombie figurine. Sold.

No Sequel for My PC? I like the figurine idea, but I really wish that the new Retail version came with some in-game bonus.

Just like with Peggle, I will own this on every platform it hits.

@brainderailment:

This is easily one of the best games on every platform it has hit so far; $15 is a bargain.

I will gladly buy your game again, Popcap. But only because you added stuff to it and made it more pretty. Don't be getting any funny ideas.

I'll wait and see how it plays. I already have it for Apples funky touch devices and I've yet to find reason to buy it again.

I have this on iPhone and plan to get the xbla version. However I will try out the trial to make sure the controls are on. But this being popcap, I suspect they will be.

I bet Sony will have online co-op, 30 minigames and a chance to play as Darth Vader.

1200MS points? No deal, I payed £3.50 for the game on steam, anyways.

How many times do I gotta buy this game? I should open a separate bank account for all the PvZ releases.
