Angry Birds hits PSP/PS3 as PlayStation mini game this week

Angry Birds is expected to arrive on the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime this year, but it seems the popular phone game will make its mainstream debut on the PSP instead. Sony has confirmed that Angry Birds will be arriving on the PlayStation Portable this week, as one of the PlayStation "mini" titles; however, that also means that PS3 owners will be able to play the addictive bird-hurling game as well.

The first iteration will see 63 levels on offer, but we're guessing that developers Rovio will be pushing out the usual add-on level packs as they have been on the smartphone versions of the title. It's not clear how much Angry Birds will cost at this stage.
