'District 9' Blu-ray will include God of War III demo

I guess that's one way to sell a crap movie

If anything this was one of the best movies made in years. What was so "crap" about it? Because there weren't any "big" Hollywood stars playing? Most of those stars are just in movies because they look good, not because they are brilliant actors. Sharlto Copley gave one of the best performances I've seen a long time, especially considering it's one of his first movies acting.

Or was it because of a low budget and "unpopular" director. Neill Blomkamp showed that you don't need a big budget to not only make one of the best sci-fi/action movies this year, but one of the best movies in a long time.

Honestly, if you're going to call a movie crap, at least backup your statements. Some people just don't know a good movie when they see one.

What do District 9 and God of War have in common? Why did they pick this movie to have the God of War 3 demo? Just to show off? Neet and I want the demo but this just seems a little weird to put it with this particular movie.

Crap movie? It wasn't the best I've ever seen but it wasn't bad either. Definitely not crap.

djeazyg, the movie is Sony's biggest Blu-ray release of the year, and the game is expected to be a blockbuster. It makes perfect sense, imo.

I thought the point of bluray is the ability to use lower compression for larger file sizes and better image & sound. I'm guessing this demo is at least 1GB, maybe 4GB or more (if it was compact, they would just put it on the PSN)...disc space that could have been used to improve quality. I was going to buy this movie on bluray, but I think I am going to wait for the second release without all the compression.

What kind of nonsense conjecture is that? Most of the higher-quality transfer BD movies only take up ~30-40GB, which still leaves 5-15GB of available space on a dual-layer disc. Since most PS3 demos aren't larger than 1.2-2.5GB, there's hardly a sacrifice there.

I more wonder if they'll strip the demo from copies distributed to rental companies.

I guess this is a good way for people who already want the movie to get the demo. I'll be buying the God of War Collection that comes out November 17th and already has the God of War III demo included.

This is kind of off topic but i still haven't seen it.

this is extremely cool. kudos to sony.

2nd that. Maybe we will see more of this in the future.

I have heard this is a good movie and I don't doubt that, but I have to say I fell asleep trying to watch this one.

I think it's a great idea having a demo on a Blu-ray, there's like 50gb of data storage available, so wouldn't be a problem.

Is District 9 actually worth buying/renting?, was thinking of downloading a 720p HD version of it from moviepro.net or if it's really good getting it on a Blu-ray disc.

FINALLY!!! Someone who agrees with me. This was the worst movie I have ever seen! No transitions, no good dialogue, no story, ending was horrible, terrible camera work for what was supposed to be "humanized" (meaning that it was filmed by a "real" person in the movie, using a "real" camera), and overall left thousands of questions and zero answers.

The ONLY reason I would consider buying this is for the GoW3 demo. After I finish playing the demo, I'd either sell it, or toss it. But I doubt that this demo is worth wasting my money on such a pathetic excuse for a film.
