The Rovio-developed game is now available for download as a PlayStation mini title this week. PlayStation minis are smaller games that can be downloaded on PSP and PS3. The mini version of Angry Birds seems like it will be similar to the versions of Angry Birds already available for iOS, Android and Symbian devices, complete with support for 63 levels of bird-flinging, block-busting, pig-smashing action.

Rovio has confirmed that they are working on the “big screen” version of the games. Soon, it will be launching in Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PS3. The game has a break-through sales since it was first launched by the company.

The most recent addition to the main game, another set of levels and a new “Mighty Eagle” in-app purchase, continues to keep the game fresh. With that, coupled with the insanely addictive nature of the game, keeps fans all over the world coming back for more.
