Plants Vs Zombies XBLA

Heard this was coming to XBLA some time ago but then all the info seemed to dry up, played this briefly at a m8's house on his PC and was really good fun, but would prefer to lay on the sofa to play, anyone heard any news on release date or has this been cancelled?

It's coming in September at full 1080p with the Michael Jackson zombie removed. All versions will be patched to have MJ removed, too.

I just would like the PC version to get a resolution patch. It's crap at 800x600.

Why on earth are they removing him :confused:

game is so addictive

Cool to see they're adding multiplayer though.

MJ's estate is objecting to it. Even though it's been out for over a year and before he croaked it.

His family asked for him to be removed, and PopCap decided they'd replace him with a disco-themed zombie.

I can kind of understand doing it, but it's not like PopCap knew he was going to die so soon after they made the game.

D'oh, ninja'd

XBLA - does that mean it would have to be played on the X-Box? This seems like it would be a difficult game to play without a mouse.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did some kind of radial menu thing. So when you are over the square you want to plant something on, you hold the trigger and use a thumbstick to select a plant.
