Puzzle Chronicles now available on XBLA, PSN and PC
It's been a couple months since Konami's Puzzle Chronicles arrived on the PSP and DS in early February. Now the game is available as a downloadable title on Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and PC. The game has the same RPG/puzzle battling as before, with online play shifted to the respective multiplayer services of each platform. The game is also considerably cheaper on the consoles than on the handhelds--about 10 bucks on XBLA, PSN and PC as opposed to the $30 price tag for the PSP and DS versions. I guess you pay for the convenience of portability.
