This week, Google sells Motorola and gets one step closer to SkyNet, NetFlix and Nintendo aren’t going to give up that easily, the Macintosh turns 30, and one more reason to be angry at Angry Birds…

Every day, Amazon offers up Lightning Deals, limited quantities of various products for a discounted price for a 4-hour window of time. You have to be on the lookout for these deals and once the item runs out, the sale is over. Meaning, if you see something on sale that you want, buy it immediately before it’s gone.

Typically you don’t know what will be on sale until the minute it gets posted, but for Black Friday, Amazon has released the Lightning Deal schedule and prices for Video Games for Friday, November 29, 2013.

See here below for a few highlights from Friday’s deals, along with more information on how these special deals work, and be sure to keep an eye out on the main Video Game Lightning Deals page for sale launch times and countdowns, as the first of the deals begin at 12:01 am PT (3:01 am ET) with new items going up for sale through the very end of the day.

A new writer has been hired to pen Angry Birds, the animated 3D movie version of the hit Rovio mobile game phenomenon that involves agitated avians dropping aerial attacks on a group of rival pigs.

Sony Pictures Animation has brought in Jon Vitti to write the script for Angry Birds, which is still years away from its scheduled July 1, 2016 release date.

Rovio Entertainment could not have seen their Angry Birds mobile app game catapult itself into the territory that it is in now. There are Angry Birds shirts, towels, toys, and a few special edition games – Star Wars being the most notable one so far – and now a movie. Yes a movie.

It would have been hard to believe that we’d get to this point when the original game was released a few years back, but it has indeed gotten to it. And now Despicable Me producer John Cohen has signed on to produce the film, while David Maisel (formerly of Marvel Studios) is on board as an executive producer.

Recently we got our first peek at the gameplay in the latest version of the hit mobile game Angry Birds, with a trailer for Angry Birds Star Wars. Thankfully for us, you don’t have to wait all that long for new mobile games to arrive.

The Star Wars version of Angry Birds has officially been released, and you can grab it now for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, and Windows 8.

Check out a newer longer trailer for the game showing off plenty of the cool new gameplay below.
