PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies for Android is free on Amazon today

For lack of a better word: yay. The deservedly-famous Plants vs. Zombies from PopCap is available now on Android. Better yet, it's free! That's right, download the game through Amazon and pay absolutely nothing for the next 12 hours or so. This cool deal, which you can find right here, comes from a promotion PopCap orchestrated with the online retailer to release the Android edition of this hit game. It's not until after two weeks that PvZ will be available anywhere else than Amazon. Even if you miss the free WiFi-only download today, it'll only cost $2.99 after that, which ain't bad at all for one of the best pocket games, um, ever.

Update: PopCap also reminded us in a press release that an update to the iPhone version of PvZ will go live on June 2.

Sims Social: Claim your free Plants vs Zombies Sunflower

Among the free Social Points, Simoleons and SimCash given away by Playfish on the Sims Social fan page on Facebook, you can occasionally find the rare, exclusive treasure. Sure, Social Points and SimCash are definitely appreciated, but when it comes to cross-promotions between the Sims Social and Playfish's Plants vs Zombies, well, that's something a bit more special.

For a limited time, you can now claim a Sunflower from Plants vs Zombies for use in your own home as a decoration. If you've spotted this Sunflower hanging around Bella's House when you visit her, you can now claim one for yourself by clicking on this link right here. This link is universal, so anyone can click on it, but you can only do so once (unfortunately). Believe me, I'd love to have an army of Sunflowers lining my garden as well (for the inevitable zombie apocalypse), but hopefully this one will be able to offer enough sunshine to last us a short while, at least until we can dig out the heavy artillery - shotguns and the like. Have I thought too far into this? Probably.

All I know for sure is that this plant is awesome, and Plants vs Zombies is awesome, and you should definitely claim a Sunflower for your house! Just make to do so fast - there's no telling when the link will become inactive, taking your chance at a free Sunflower right along with it!

Have you already claimed your free Sunflower from this Plants vs Zombies cross-promotion? What other games would you like to see incorporated into Sims Social?
