PopCap Games is also saying that the Xbox 360 version of the video game will arrive both through the Live service and through a retail package.

Plants vs. Zombies will allow Xbox 360 users to see how their friends progress in the game, with new social elements including houses that can be visited to see how well the fight against the zombies is going.
The XBLA version of the game has a set in stone launch date for September 8.
Those who love physical objects need to wait until September 28 when PopCap will deliver two different bundles, one coming packed with Peggle and the other with Zuma.
Plants vs. Zombies has been initially launched on the PC and on the Mac in the fall of last year and managed to ensnare players with its unique twist on the tower defense game genre.
