Activision is publishing the 3DS and HD console versions of the Angry Birds Trilogy, which we reported yesterday. The giant publisher has now confirmed, to USA Today, the pricing of this new package’s release on the new platforms.
The 3DS version will retail for $29.99 while the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will have a recommended retail price of $39.99. All three games at their regular iOS prices would set you back around $6.
Of course, with the iOS or other existing versions, you don’t get the platform specific features like Move or Kinect functionality on the HD consoles or stereoscopic 3D on the 3DS. Is that worth paying many times more for? Not in my opinion.

What I don’t understand is that if Acti knew the production/distribution costs why not just make it a digital release? Keep the costs down and the RRP more realistic? I’m not surprised people are spitting feathers TBH :D
What was the price difference on Flight control HD when that came out with Move support? I Don’t remember it being that big a jump.

The troubling thing is that it IS a dgital release. At that price.
DirtyHabit
Nope…
“However, this disc-based version includes other notable features beyond high-definition visuals, such as support for Microsoft’s Kinect motion controls and PlayStation Move.”

Where did that come from??
Already been mentioned in a later story that there won’t be a disc release;

LOL! The source on this article “USA Today”
Mine comes from a tabloid so it must be true, over your obviously inferior ‘from the actual developer’ quote ! ;-D
Forrest_01
Lol – In fairness, i am guilty of not following the link to the article on USA today, hence why i didn’t know where that quote came from!
To be fair though, for the price they are asking for it, it probably should be a disc release! :)
Forrest_01
Article has now been updated to say that information was incorrect & games will in fact be Disc based. So the tabloid were in fact correct it would seem! :O
Note to self: Do not believe what devs say about the games they are making – They know nothing apparently!

And in other news, Feddie Starr really did eat that hamster! :-D

Nah, prefer laying in my bed late at night throwing some birds across the screen on my phone.

The best thing about angry birds in bed is angry sex.
Oh, and make up sex in the morning. :)

Im sure someone is getting fired today for misprinting a comma.
I think they meant $399,99 not $39,99!!
