Oh god yes. I was just saying the other day how amazed I was that XBLA/PSN hasn't already snatched up this Pop-Cap gem. The game exists somewhere in the space between Plinko and Arkanoid, and while I haven't played a ton of it what I have seen and experienced defies words. "Beautiful junk-food time-waster" is the best description I can think of it, like that bucket of holiday caramel corn you can't stop eating.
XBLA is poised to have the best '08 lineup ever. Where else can you play Peggle, Rez and Ikaruga on one platform?

Peggle XBLA Confirmed, ESRB Rates Other Unannounced Games (Updated)
by Chris Faylor Jan 08, 2008 5:00pm CST
Update: Peggle is indeed headed to Xbox Live Arcade and is tentatively slated for a Q2 release, a PopCap representative has confirmed to Shacknews.
Original Story: PopCap's ultra-addictive and mega-colorful casual gaming sensation Peggle is on its way to the Xbox 360, according a listing on the Entertainment Software Rating Board web site.
Though not officially confirmed, the title is expected to be a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade game, as past PopCap Xbox 360 releases, such as Zuma, have been. It has been assigned an "E for Everyone" rating.
Previously released on PC, Mac, and the iPod, the Pachinko-like skill-based offerings of Peggle have won over many a cold-hearted gamer despite its use of unicorns, rainbows, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." A mature Half-Life themed version, dubbed Peggle Extreme, was included with PC copies of Valve's The Orange Box (PC, PS3, X360) last year.
As pointed out by Xbox 360 Fanboy, other previously unannounced and E-rated Xbox 360 titles on the ESRB's site include Bliss Island from Codemasters and Majesco's Ultra Bust-A-Move, the latter of which could indicate a downloadable version of the original Xbox edition through Microsoft's recent Xbox Originals program.

It seems like one of the best arguments for digital distribution, and will likely join Geometry Wars and Pac-Man CE as one of my default, I-have-five-minutes-so-I'll-play-this-game games.
I could wake up at 3am, drive 40 miles to LA, wait in line, and not even meet Bob the man!
OR
I could play Peggle.
The choice is easy.
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
Why does 80% of the titles on XBLA have to be good? With new DLC for Rock Band and new XBLA titles, my credit card is going to be maxed pretty quickly.
