Peggle's U.S. Release is Tonight
posted by arn on May 11th, 2009 2:31 PM EDT in Upcoming Games
PopCap's Peggle is slowly being released across the world onto Apple's iTunes App Store. The game has been scheduled for a May 12th release, so readers in other countries are starting to see the game become available.
We normally don't post about a release until it's available in the U.S. as there usually isn't much to do but wait. But this time, you can download the free Mac or PC version to see if it's a game you'd like on your iPhone.
The iPhone version of Peggle will cost $4.99 in the U.S. and should be available tonight at around 11 p.m. eastern.
App Store Link: Peggle, $4.99 (may work in some countries).
Update: Peggle is out worldwide including the U.S. Video coming soon.
It's a bit tough to wait, knowing that others are already playing this one, BUT at least we know that it is ACTUALLY OUT!!!! Hooray Peggle!!!!!
Can't wait!
Best day ever!!! Look out zen ball here I come!
Awesome! A game I like and on my birthday too, so happy!
Here's some gameplay footage of peggle iphone, if you guys are interested:

I like what UGO.com has to say :

I'm really excited about this one, but dammit, where's my Bookworm RPG?
I would rather see a bookworm FPS! :p
Here's a question – how is it that every other game seems to have a mystery release date ('it's submitted to Apple, should be available sometime soon!'), but it seems like Peggle's precise release date was known even at the end of April?
If I missed a memo, let me know
When a company submits their app far enough in advance, they can actually choose when to finalize its entry into the app store, after apple has given their approval. That being said, a developer can actually choose the date upon which they will release/finalize their app.
That was a succinct and helpful answer… you must be new to the internet.
Just kidding, thanks for the info!
It's one of the digital variants of crack, it's gets special treatment. Like if WoW was coming to the iPhone, everybody would camp out at home on whatever date, and you know somebody would have a hard date for it.
Dude you fail, next time before you comment make sure you're not getting your facts out of your *sshole. Read DieseliPhone's reply for the real answer, everyone can do it, it's just that not everyone choose to which still baffles me.
What's the hype behind this game? I never played it, explain it to me please
It's its simple but addictive gameplay: You aim and shoot a pinball down on coloured block in the aim of clearing the orange ones. As arn notes, go to popcap.com and try out the 60-min demo and you'll probably be hooked.
Don't ask if you value your free time.
How about Canada, eh ?
<3 Canadians
Sorry, not yet. Chances are we'll get it at 11pm like the US. If it's any consolation, it'll probably cost $4.99 as well, but in Canadian dollars (iTunes Canada charges Apps in Canadian right?), making it cost less than the US price.
Go devalued currency! Go!
Woo! Canada's a go!
I just downloaded it right now. US Central time 17:05 (18:05 Eastern).
It's out in the UK, although not showing up in any searches it seems so you'll have to get to it via the link.
My internet's being a pain, 20 mins to download a 10MB app! Arg! Don't BT know how important Peggle is? (I live out in the sticks so my connection's patchy at best
)
Oh well, for £2.99 this is a steal.
yep, it's available now in the US. 3:45 Pacific.
Ugh, and my grades were just starting to get on the rise…
This game is A-MA-ZING! Now all we need is Plants vs. Zombies and BookWorm Adventures. =D
Nice! I was waiting for this and I am not disappointed.
Peggle has landed in Canada. Just got it.
EXTREME FEVER.
