Sony Fires Another Shot in Format War - Free Movies

In an effort to drive up Blu-Ray DVD player sales, Sony has started a new promotion. When buying a Blu-Ray player from Panasonic, Phillips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sony Electronics or Sony Computer Entertainment(that includes the PS3), consumers can take part in the mail-in offer and receive 5 free Blu-Ray movies. The promotion started July 1st and ends September 30th.

The movies consumers can choose from are:

Babel
Black Rain
Blazing Saddles
Chicken Little
The Corpse Bride
The Devil's Rejects
The Guardian
Hart's War
Invincible
The Italian Job
Kiss of the Dragon
The Last Waltz
The Omen [2006]
Pearl Harbor
The Phantom of the Opera
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Species
Stealth
Stir of Echoes
The Transporter 2
Underworld: Evolution


Five free Blu-Ray movies is a sweet deal, especially since each movie can set you back $20-30. So that deal could be worth up to $150. Sadly, the selection to choose from is not the best, but free movies are still my favorite kind of movies.

The Darkness delayed for PS3 in Europe


For some unexplained reason, The Darkness will not be released for the PS3 in Europe until July 20th. This is weird because it is still being released on time in the United States for the PS3 on June 25th. The Xbox 360 version will still be released on time in both continents(June 25th in the US and June 29th in Europe).

But the thing that I find really weird about it is that the PS3 doesn't have regions like the Xbox 360 does. So people in Europe can just buy a copy of The Darkness from an American outlet and have it shipped to them and play it without problem.

Why the delay? So far, 2K Games isn't saying.

And for those in the States, I saw that Circuit City has a deal on The Darkness when it first comes out - $49.99. $10 off!

Guitar Hero II for 360 deal

Some people (Josh) have complained about the Xbox 360's Guitar Hero II price of $90. The price has been advertised for a while, but it is 150% the price of a normal 360 game.

I did find a deal to make the price more palpable, though. Over at Circuit City, they have a Guitar Hero II bundle. It still costs $90, but it comes with 1600 Microsoft Points, which is a $20 value. You can order it online and pick it up at most stores to avoid shipping charges.

Personally, I've never played the game, but I hear it's very fun.
