It comes out on November 8th for iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC (including Windows 8) and Windows Phone, according to USA Today, apparently. All right then. That was my main problem. Now I can buy this and happily ignore the existence of the Hasbro toys. Carry on! (Via JoyStiq)

I love how they waited until after the news of countless merchandise hit to let us know that, oh yeah, they're also making a video game based on this hit video game/crossover as well. It actually reminded me of a Mad magazine satire "Walt Disney Visits His Studio Today", where Disney is unfrozen & sees his company in the '90s...
Walt Disney: "How do you come up with the ideas for your animated movies?"
Michael Eisner: "First, we design a winning plush toy! If that works, we proceed to the next stage!"
Disney: "The actual making of the movie?"
Eisner: "No, the making of the CD-ROM spin-off!"
Disney: "Then you make the movie?"
Eisner: "No, the line of snack foods and cereals!"
Disney: "But when do you make the actual movie?"
Eisner: "Actually, we're trying to figure out how to eliminate that stage...It's so expensive and really risky!"
That being said, the image of the Angry Birds cast dressed up in Star Wars garb is damn cute: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/angrybirdsmiddle.jpg Wish they'd just stuck to a poster...
Also, screw this inferior Voice Nation crap.
this jsut proves that lucas will do anything to milk star wars dry now trying to use another franchise like angry birds to do so.though got to admit seeing the darth vader bird version use a tuning fork as a light saber is a little interesting
