Apple Thoughts: The Price is Right Released for the iPhone and iPod Touch

"The Price is Right game brings all the excitement of the show to your iPhone and iPod touch! Feel the thrill of being called to "COME ON DOWN!" to participate in Contestant's Row. Play 16 different pricing games including Plinko, Cliff Hangers, Punch-a-Bunch and more. Spin the Big Wheel for the chance at fabulous prizes and a huge pay-off at the Showcase Showdown!"

I've always said that the person who translated The Price is Right into a game would be an instant millionaire and I have no reason to think Fremantle and Ludia won't make a ton of money on this game. I played with it a bunch this morning and it's just like being on the show and that's a good thing because TPIR is one of my favorite gameshows ever (I imagine that's true for a lot of people). I did have some random lockups with it, but powering off my iPhone then powering it back on and playing the game solved it; apparently something else I was running was hanging in the background. Overall, it's a heck of a lot of fun and hopefully their upcoming translation of the cult favorite Press Your Luck will be equally good. You can download The Price is Right from the App Store now for $4.99 (a bargain, without a doubt).
