Sony announced that it will be including the highly anticipated God Of War 3 demo on the upcoming District 9 Blu-ray disc.

District 9 was one of the huge hits this summer and it just got one more reason to pick up the Blu-ray version when it is released this December. Sony released a press release today stating they will be including the demo of God of War 3. It will be the first hybrid game/movie disc to be released. The disc will also include a digital copy of the film that can be watched on PSP, PC, Mac, or the iPhone/iPod. There will also be a making of the game featurette with the demo. Sony had previously announced they will be including the GoW 3 demo on the upcoming God of War Collection. For those of you who don't want to play through the first two games again but want the demo, this might be a good alternative.

This is what Sony needs to do to get more people interested in Blu-ray. They need to offer more reasons for people to plop down that extra money. Not that many people have a good enough TV to enjoy the full potential of Blu-ray but with deals like this, it should help increase the Blu-ray adoption rate.

The District 9 Blu-ray disc will be released on December 29th and will include the God of War 3 demo. The hybrid disc will cost you $39.99 but with the demo and extras as well as the awesome movie you get, it might be worth picking up.
