District 9 Blu-ray to include God of War III playable demo

[Master X]

Not sure where to post this

According to an article from GameInformer.com, the District 9 Blu-ray movie will include a playable demo of God of War III. The District 9 Blu-ray won't be released until December 29, 2009, so it's a bit of a longer wait for the God of War III demo than when the demo on the God of War Collection will be released. What's different from the God of War Collection's included demo is that the District 9 Blu-ray will include the God of War III demo on the disc itself, rather than having to download it. GameInformer.com also noted that a behind-the-scenes of the making of God of War 3 will also be viewable, once you complete the demo.

Nice incentive to buy though I'm sure most of us were going to pick District 9 up anyway.

Well that's freaking awesome. Now I can hold off on buying the GOW collection, although it looks like an easy platinum

D9 was a sleeper, so maybe this will give it a few blind buys.

Two easy platinums.

pretty cool, but a weird combination

[RedRedSuit]

That does not look like an "easy" platinum. Though the fact that none of the trophies involves God mode certainly makes it lean in that direction.

[Snadinator]

Weird, but I was gonna buy District 9 day 1 anyhow.

[Dennis M.]

What an unlikely combination... I wonder if they 'll include the demo in the region B release too since they delayed the GoW compilation in Europe.

SCEE has commented that the demo will only be on District 9's North American Blu-ray disc.

[Silvers24]

What IS THIS movie about?
Why would the GoW III demo be on this?

Confused...

[Master X]

Because there both by Sony. Maybe Sony knows how great this movie is but it was a sleeper so they added a hyped AAA game to help sales
