    This is rather interesting

    As I've already seen Angry Birds available for purchase at stores here in Germany. This makes it seem that those are actually bootlegs?

    WTF?

    Indeed

    I seem to remember to have seen that you can buy a pc version already in the webshop.

    WTF?

    A tenner?

    Or just install Chrome and play it for free*

    *assuming you don't consider letting Google in to be too much of a cost to bear.

    Thumb Up

    Although of course you can already play Angry Birds on your PC/Mac. If you're using Chrome, you can download an in-browser version for free.

    I wonder if this freebie will disappear once it goes retail?

    Hmmm

    Is there actually anyone who *hasn't* played Angry Birds (that would want to)?

    I can't see my mother buying it, even if she could pick it up from the supermarket on her weekly shop. So who exactly are they targeting with a retail release?

    Paris because she's not an angry bird.

    Re:Who are they targetting?

    Your mother might not pick it up for *herself* but someone's mother might pick it up as a gift. Remember it's Christmas coming up.

    Meh

    Cheap cover

    Wow - I wonder how many minutes they spent making the cover.

    Apparently, not a whole lot.

    Background; probably supposed to look like a sunrise in light green/marine pastel colors, with cloudlike sides and bottom.

    Slap a title and one angry bird on it - done.

    I think it deserves better, but maybe that's just me.

    You don't need Chrome to play A.B. on a PC ...

    ... you can play it within Google + using any browser (I assume. I use IE9).
