One of the best films of 2009, District 9, is coming to Blu-ray, and if you happen to pick up the US version (and your PS3 is US as well), you’ll get the added bonus of being able to play a demo of the upcoming game God of War 3 for PS3.
The demo will be the first time that a game and movie have shipped on the same Blu-ray disc, although my box set copy of the original Star Wars trilogy has a demo of Battlefront for the original Xbox on it.
As a bonus on the disc, this is pretty sweet, so long as you use your PS3 as your Blu-ray player. Of course, it almost certainly won’t be available for Australia, so this post is more of a tease than anything else. And on the upside, you’ll probably be able to download the God of War demo anyway by the time the movie is released.

Monday, November 2, 2009 at 1:03 PMJust to give you a heads up … I received an email from the Playstation Network over the weekend (1st Nov 09) giving me a redemption code to download the GOW3 demo for free … now! And I’m in Penrith, Sydney.
I played it last night and I have 2 words for you … Awe-Some! Incredible graphics. Same attitude. Can’t wait for the full version.
Cheers!

Didn’t FF7 movie in Japan also come with the FF13 demo? Then the other way around that Stranglehold game came with the movie Hard Boiled on the disc too for PS3. That was a pretty cool idea

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 1:37 PMI also received the email from Playstation Network during the weekend, yeah, the redemption code to download the demo, which is 2.xGB big, quite a download. It runs at 720p at my fullHD TV, the game is awesome, but the graphics could be better, I mean, compares to Uncharted 2.
