As if Sony didn’t have to give geeks any more incentive to buy Neill Blomkamp’s science-fiction blockbuster, District 9, the company announced that it will be including a demo for its forthcoming PlayStation 3 game, God of War III, with the two-disc Blu-ray release.

PlayStation 3 owners will be able to unlock a making-of featurette upon completing the demo, viewable exclusively on PlayStation 3 hardware. It marks the first time that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and SCEA have teamed up for a Blu-ray release.


“We are thrilled to give consumers not only an incredible high definition presentation of District 9 and the wealth of bonus material about the movie,” said Lexine Wong, Senior Executive VP of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, “but also a taste of what is destined to be the biggest video game of 2010. This pairing of the movie and game demo is just another example of what is possible with the Blu-ray format.”


“Blu-ray functionality has long been a differentiator that separates the PS3 from other home entertainment systems,” continued Peter Dille, Senior VP of Marketing for SCEA, “Through this collaboration with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment we’re able to create a unique experience only available on the PS3 system that blends two of the most popular entertainment options available, watching District 9 and playing God of War III off the same disc.”


The demo will be available only to US owners, so our early apologizes to our UK brethren.
