Rovio this week released a version of its popular Angry Birds game for PCs and netbooks.

The game is available for download via Intel's AppUp Center at appup.com, and will work on Windows XP and Windows 7 machines. It costs $9.99, but thanks to a promotional offer, it will be available for $4.99 for a limited time.

Intel's AppUp Center is an application store for Windows and the MeeGo operating system. It was first introduced at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, and came out of beta in September.

"The game initially includes 195 levels packed with hours and hours of gameplay," Rovio said in a blog post. "Customers can expect free updates and additional levels to the game. In addition to this, there will be unique enhancements not found in the mobile version, free of charge."

Users will have to install the Intel AppUp Center client to download apps; the store accepts MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Angry Birds will be available on all versions of the Intel AppUp center including those distributed by Best Buy, Best Buy Canada, Future Shop, Dixons, Walmart, Asus, Croma, HSN, New Egg and TigerDirect.

"This version marks the first time ever Angry Birds will be released and available for netbooks and laptops," Intel said. "It's the same, fun app consumers know and love, but now for much bigger screens."

Earlier this week, Sony announced that Angry Birds will be available on the PSP and PS3 as a mini game. Last month, Rovio added in-app purchasing.
