Monopoly now available for the BlackBerry PlayBook

If you're looking to get your Donald Trump on then EA Games has your fix as they've now released Monopoly for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The classic game has been revamped for the BlackBerry PlayBook offering a new table top mode that allows for immersive and interactive gameplay. Not quite up on your Monopoly skills? You can take advantage of the teacher mode as well, which offers tips and tricks for better strategy playing. For the more skilled, a Play Now mode offers gameplay with up to 3 other players or play against the in-game computer opponents. Monopoly is available now in BlackBerry App World for $4.99. (Edit: Looks like that was an introductory price as it is now $9.99 in App World.) Wonder if we'll see a BlackBerry edition added?
Learn more and purchase Monopoly for the BlackBerry PlayBook
Wolf35Nine Dec 12, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Cool. Now I just need to buy a PlayBook!
jwn66 Dec 12, 2011 at 2:53 pm
This is the one game I was actually waiting for lol, noice!
elvin1983 Dec 12, 2011 at 3:01 pm
+1, I'll be buying this for sure.
BlogBerry.hk Dec 13, 2011 at 6:24 am
me too! but it's not available in Hong Kong!!!!!!!
Flyerssignguy Dec 12, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Watch this one go on sale.......right after I buy it....just like the previous EA Games.
gord888 Dec 12, 2011 at 5:59 pm
no kidding eh?! But i won't complain... i'm just happy to get more games :)
harpcomposer Dec 12, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Anyone know if you can play, then quit and resume later on rather than starting over? LIke the next day? Monopoly can...well..monopolize a lot of time.....
LuayS Dec 12, 2011 at 10:57 pm
i too would like to know this
Innerchild Dec 12, 2011 at 11:54 pm
Yes, you can exit and save, or choose to abandon the game.
weesteev Dec 12, 2011 at 3:02 pm
UK user here, cant search for the item in the store but follow the link and it shows @ 4.99 but states "this item is not currently supported by your profile".... im OS 1.0.8.6067, any ideas?
Enri69 Dec 12, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Available where? Just in Canada and the USA? What about for the rest of PB owners, or are there any copywright issues, therefore not available for the rest of mortals? UK not available, what a joke. Besides, wasn't RIM going to fix the FX rates? $4.99 = £4.99? Carry on RIM, you don't have any chance of competing against other platforms with your existing lack of customer care and support.
ekafara Dec 12, 2011 at 7:32 pm
They need to fix how they price things. It's ridiculous.
lang007 Dec 12, 2011 at 3:09 pm
A game I just may buy for my new PB
gtamhankar Dec 12, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Awesome!
chiefbroski Dec 12, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Firstly, awesome! I'm waiting till it goes on sale to get it.
On another note: Haha! This will never come out for BB7. Who would play this game on a BB smartphone? For money?! I don't think so....I have the 9860(awesome phone btw) and I still don't have any real games that are worth playing on it. Imagine on a Bold? LOL
Let's face it. As much as I am a fanboi of BB. Games on BB7 aren't worth even 99 cents. Plus, when all of us keeners get a BBX phone in fall of 2011, we should be able to play our playbook games on our BBX phone (#winning). So buying this for the QNX platform is a much better investment.
"Wonder if we'll see this for BB7"....LOL
Anatomy Dec 13, 2011 at 6:18 pm
wow, I can't wait for fall of 2011. It sounds awesome!!
Concession Dec 12, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Damn. EA just keeps showing the Playbook love.
Do they hate Android or something? I have no problem with it though, my Playbook kicks my Android phone's ass.
barkomatic Dec 12, 2011 at 3:17 pm
I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope they also bring on Risk!
Darlaten Dec 12, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Woohoo! can not wait to get home to purchase it.
ryanlrobinson Dec 12, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Want this. Will probably need to buy it before I start the tours of family (lost of car/bus/train time) for the Christmas season.
undone Dec 12, 2011 at 3:36 pm
NICE! This is a really nice win for the Playbook
aleid Dec 12, 2011 at 3:39 pm
its not avalibel for my country bahrain, why
ClassyBOLD Dec 12, 2011 at 3:40 pm
This is awesome! I've played this on the iPad and it's freakin addicting. So glad to see it make it over to the Playbook.
Has anyone been able to confirm it's compatability with the 2.0 beta?
ClassyBOLD Dec 12, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Confirmed to work beautifully on OS 2.0!
cjterminator Dec 12, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Awesome, i was waiting for it. i will buy it when at home.
Now waiting for Fifa Soccer 12 on Playbook. EA Sports, come on bring it on :)
koolrosh Dec 12, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Can't wait for them to bring out FIFA on the PlayBook!
Jonathan-Archer Dec 12, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Not available in the Netherlands either. Big fail. I really want this one so badly...
Sjnieboon Dec 12, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Not available here in The Netherlands. Damn, was waiting for this one... Hopefully it will be there for the other countries soon...
spencerdl Dec 12, 2011 at 4:06 pm
I think ALL apps should have a trial period, so I can see if I like it are not. Some of these games and apps are rip offs and not worth it
ClassyBOLD Dec 12, 2011 at 4:50 pm
This one is well worth it! ;-)
nomi1978 Dec 12, 2011 at 4:09 pm
I had this on my BB when I had OS5 on my phone. Worked with OS6 as well. So it has been around on the BB phone, mind you the graphics were not great but it was still a good way to kill time. I downloaded it from bplay.
Thachoc1 Dec 12, 2011 at 4:33 pm
Family game night at our fav restaurants. WAHOO!!!
LangeFisch Dec 12, 2011 at 4:56 pm
This may be the first app I purchase (i.e. not a free app) on either my phone or PB.
Siiid Dec 12, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Usually EA games launch internationally a day later than USA/Canada .
ChrisO89 Dec 12, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Great game for playing on the road.
d1n_only Dec 12, 2011 at 5:17 pm
When I'm not on my playbook this is the only thing I use me FREE 64 gd Ipod touch for...after music on the go. Once I get this (when available in europe) and a new phone, that ipod will be useless!
easydoesit99 Dec 12, 2011 at 5:24 pm
I don't own the board game and I barely ever play Monopoly but this is one of the apps I had on my wish list. Merry Christmas everyone!
theHip Dec 12, 2011 at 5:40 pm
It would be cool if you could play multiplayer over the net. Or at least Wifi.
tboy0730 Dec 12, 2011 at 6:48 pm
why does it say that it is not supported by my current device profile? :( please help..
irsan Dec 12, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Downloading with HTTP Proxy setting, use Canada, it will works
Sjnieboon Dec 12, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Which proxy do you use? I tried 3 but still says that it doesn't support my current profile...
irsan Dec 12, 2011 at 8:17 pm
Use http proxy setting with canadian ip 207.219.7.136 with port 80, it works
Sjnieboon Dec 12, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Genius!! You have to look it up in Appworld. Don't use the link on Crackberry.com or it still says that it's not supported.
Downloading right now from the Netherlands! :)
wcsh Dec 12, 2011 at 7:21 pm
I have already played 2 games... loveit
w0qj Dec 12, 2011 at 9:30 pm
Looks like Playbook is finally gaining some traction at least with some software developers, a good sign ;)
jivegirl14 Dec 12, 2011 at 11:11 pm
Don't understand people complaining about the price. It's just $4.99 and well worth it. This is a great app, I've been waiting for it and glad to see it arrive. Bought it, playing it and loving it. Looks great on the PB. Looking forward to hours of fun with this one.
bigopti Dec 13, 2011 at 5:53 am
Does it come with a free BB Playbook? I don't have one yet (:
SSc129 Dec 13, 2011 at 7:40 am
Pick this up last night and is so fun. Smooth game play and great graphics. Can't go wrong for $4.99
BerryDiva Dec 13, 2011 at 8:16 am
I've already played 3 games. It looks/plays really great on the PB. This should come stock instead of NFS (which I've never played).
Although, I'm starting to think it's fixed because Al never landed on any of my properties once I put up hotels....starting my 4th game....now!
tboy0730 Dec 13, 2011 at 8:37 am
how do i change proxy? i cant select my AP
Sjnieboon Dec 13, 2011 at 8:41 am
You have to go to your WiFi networks, and from the dropdown menu, you have to select 'saved networks'. Now you can select your AP ;)
siha Dec 13, 2011 at 10:46 am
They already have one for Blackberry phones...
umbrau44 Dec 13, 2011 at 11:16 am
Why is it $9.99 in Canada and $4.99 in the US? Most app prices are the same between US and Canada.
laserx Dec 13, 2011 at 11:38 am
Don't know what you're talking about, I just bought for $4.99 and I'm in Toronto, Canada. You might want to check out App World again.
sir.dangerfield Dec 13, 2011 at 1:36 pm
I am a Monopoly lover so this was exciting for me. Payed the 5 bucks happily and was really amazed by the graphics and game play. EA always made my favorite games growing up and this PlayBook support couldn't be better for a fan like me.
skel420 Dec 13, 2011 at 3:22 pm
I am in Alberta, Canada and it shows as $9.99 in appworld on the PB. Gave the PB a reboot but no change.
When I browse to appworld on my PC it shows $4.99 until I login with my BBID and then it updates to show $9.99.
I'd love to buy it, but I am not paying double.

iThunderbirt Dec 13, 2011 at 4:10 pm
I am in Ottawa, Canada.
I have notice on the PlayBook, under Featured, when you select "Top Purchased" I see $4.99. But when I select it, to view the details/reviews of the game, the price is $9.99
If you go Games>Board Games and find Monopoly, the price is shown as $9.99 before you even select the game to purchase it...witch still shows $9.99 :'(
Maybe a bug within AppWord for the PlayBook?
Sjnieboon Dec 13, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Try to get it with a Canadian proxy server as stated in a few comments before. It worked for me, and it was $4.99 (CAD) in Appworld on my PB.
Note: You have to look it up yourself (search for it) in Appworld, otherwise your PB doesn't refresh the Appworld list. So don't use a link in your PB's browser.
Proxyserver details:
IP address: 207.219.7.136
Port: 80
UPDATE
Looks like they've changed the price to $9.99
Every Appworld that I've tried (US and Canadian) says $9.99 at this moment. I really bought my copy for $4.99 yesterday. That sucks!
iThunderbirt Dec 14, 2011 at 11:30 am
Cool. Thanks for the tip.
I tried again yesterday and I saw $4.99. So I was able to purhcase it at $4.99 :D
jpoulin587 Dec 13, 2011 at 5:40 pm
I'm in the US and I see it for $9.99.
cletis Mar 29, 2013 at 3:22 am
I'm in the US and I see it for $4.99.
HofstraJet Dec 13, 2011 at 6:08 pm
$9.99 in the US. What happened? I'm in for $5, but not for $10.
snoozininsomniac Dec 13, 2011 at 6:50 pm
it shows 9.99 for me too (california, US) but when you click buy, and after you enter your password, the price for you to confirm is 4.99
snoozininsomniac Dec 13, 2011 at 6:58 pm

HofstraJet Dec 13, 2011 at 7:17 pm
snoozininsomniac's post confirmed. I just purchased for $4.99 despite it showing $9.99 on product page. When you checkout, it shows $4.99.
Abrante Dec 13, 2011 at 9:05 pm
I got a bit upset when the price doubled in a days time. I am happy to find out that the PAY NOW price is $4.99. I bought it to avoid the risks of the App being $9.99 which would have forced me to wait for a sale , why wait when the $4.99 price is already there :)
The Me Dec 14, 2011 at 7:58 pm
9.99$
Was about to buy, I guess not. Now I'm going go to wait for a sale when it's under 4.99$. Thanks EA.
green_ember Dec 14, 2011 at 8:03 am
Sucks it's up to $9.99 now... Shoulda bought it yesterday. Now I gotta wait again :-(
skel420 Dec 14, 2011 at 10:51 am
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/monopoly999.jpg/
The PAY NOW price still shows up as $9.99 on my PB (Canada).
musical1806 Dec 18, 2011 at 2:27 am
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to access the US or Canada app store from the UK as I dont wish to pay more for my apps than you guys do. $10 does not equal £10 on any FX. Or at least explain why DDL cost more here? Hardware price differences I can just about stomach (shipping and taxes). But app prices I dont get.
