Hey everyone, I’ve got some exciting news out there for all you PlayStation Network downloadable gaming fans! I am happy to announce that Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) and PopCap have teamed up to bring our hit casual game titles to PSN and PLAYSTATION 3 for the first time ever! This collaboration has been a long time coming, so we’re happy to finally be able to talk about it with you guys.
Our first title is none other than the classic online puzzle game Bejeweled 2. Many of you may be familiar with the franchise – it has won dozens of awards and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. It’s our biggest franchise at PopCap and our most successful title, which is why we chose Bejeweled 2 as our first title for PSN and PS3. The game is a natural fit for the platform – it plays great, looks great and is as compelling as ever. And there is a ton of gameplay in Bejeweled 2 – four different game modes, more than 60 puzzles, power-ups, high-definition graphics and much more. And if you’re like me, you’ll sit there for hours playing late into the night, wondering why you’re unable to pull yourself away!
The team at SOE has been fantastic to work with, and they share our vision of making the best versions of our games possible, with features that are specific to the PS3 platform. For Bejeweled 2, that means exclusive stuff like Trophy support and PSP remote play, which you’ll only find on PSN. We’ve got similar exclusive features (and some surprises) planned for future games and franchises that we plan to produce as part of this alliance.
And this is just the beginning. Teams at PopCap and SOE are hard at work developing several more titles for PSN, to be announced soon. We are so psyched to finally be on PS3 and can’t wait to see you online.

awesome
I’ll think about the buy..
running low on funds =p
good to finally see bejeweled on the PSN
This will probably be my next psn game, but I HOPE that custom soundtracks are an option because if not, then I probably will not play it that often…
I’ve been looking forward to this game i hope it has custom soundtracks
Sweet, definate day one purchase for me.
good to see that
Can only say its about time popcap and welcome.
i feel pretty satisfied with bejewled on my Sony Ericsson Xperia. you guys should release more games on the PSN. welcome.
peace,
Lh
Remote play! great
Very cool. Does this hit the store today? How much will it cost?
Any chance you guys might port this to PSP for download as well? I’m kind of sick of Lumines and Beats lol and I need something to break up my sessions of Crisis Core and Metal Gear on PSP.
Nice, I’ll probably be picking this up.
Any news of a Peggle game coming to the PSN? That game is so addicting!
ARRGGGGG, you have to announce this after the Prince Of Persia download add on was announced for next month…….. I have to watch my pennies now :(
BTW…… you guys REALLY need $5 PSN cards………. $20 is pushing it
Oh, and does this come out today?
The PSN is a beast really.
I just bought Crash Commando, awesome game.
Is this FREE? if not it should be because it is free anywhere on the net. Sorry but I don’t feel it’s fair to have to pay for a game that is freely available everywhere and anywhere on the net. How much is this gonna cost? 5-10$$?? The PSN needs some free small games like this but like I said, I will be passing on this one, sorry better luck next time.
This is awesome. I just read that PopCap is also bringing Heavy Weapon and Peggle to PSN… LOVE IT!!!
what the price? and can we get bejeweled twist and dinner dash and pizza frenzy love those games !!!!!!!!!
Will it be released today/tonight or?
Yup, coming out today, during the store update (look for the blog post).
