I get the Original pack.
The Extra development cost, and the lower user base of the Nokia means a dearer price.. cool, make sence if annoying


but theres a development cost of extra levels , but this cost isnt passed on in form of payment for extra levels to iphone users.


Ive long though it odd the Rovio gave the extra packs away on the iphone for free, but thats up to them. and i would have understood the dearer cost per pack for the nokia had the charged for the iphone.

but it looks like were paying for the development of new levels and thus subsadising the release of the same iphone levels.

i know having seen them the extra levels are worth the cost. but i feel ripped off.
Because when Rovio updates Angry Birds with new levels on the App Store they stay in the Top 25 rankings longer. Which increases their visibility making it more likely that new users will buy the game. And the people who already own the game will tell their friends about the games and promote it for them.

Basically their strategy on the iPhone is to keep getting new people to buy Angry Birds.

While on the N900 it's inverted. Get people to play Angry Birds and then buy the additional level packs if they want.
