Just bought the main game on XBLA for half price (600msp) as part of the PopCap promo. Will likely grab this too if I like the game. Certainly seems to have a lot of good press.

I'm personally a huge fan of the game. I'm nearly finished with the XBLA version so it's nice to have another version of the game to play through on the go. If you're not immediately taken with it, make sure to get about halfway through Adventure mode. That's when it really sinks it's teeth in, I found!

I have a WP7 and when I tried to buy a game from the marketplace it asked me for my credit card. You can't pay via Microsoft Points or Paypal, only via credit card. That's a real bummer since I don't have one. I'll wait for the Mango update and hope they have the Paypal option in it or else I have to get a cc.
and that's the bottom line...

I wonder how good it plays on the WP7 compared to the Android version. I wonder if they're anywhere near the Nintendo DS version. If so, then it's definitely worth buying.

I wonder how laggy it gets when every square is full of plants and zombies and "plantfire" shooting at zombies.

WP7 definitely caught my attention.

3.99 is a rip! Why are WP7 games so expensive! Realistic comparisions to andriod prices please. Also more benefits for xbl & wp7 customers please!

I love the hardware, I love the camera and video quality and I love the games, but if you ask me, WP7 and all modern smartphones at the moment are locked down paperweights until they free them up for homebrew applications and simple file transfers again. My WP7 phone can't do half the stuff my WP6.5 phone can still do.

That aside; as a games platform, WP7 works great, and I love PvZ, so I'll totally take the chance to play it again while I'm on the road.
