Blu-ray releases on November 25th 2008

Hancock Blu-rayJust when you thought there wasn't any way there was going to be any more super hero movies this year, along comes Sony with Hancock. While there's no way this is the biggest movie of the season -- Dark Knight is due in a few weeks -- it is easily the biggest movie of the week. Next up are a couple of solid catch up action titles, The Kingdom and Jarhead, from Universal which are most definitely entertaining. Fox and Warner both have something for the family with, Space Chimps and Fred Claus. There is a bit more to be excited about next week though as Disney, Fox, Sony and Universal all have at least one nice offering.

Hancock streaming home to BRAVIA HDTVs ahead of Blu-ray release for $9.99


Tired of watching Amazon Video on Demand, Dailymotion and YouTube videos on your BRAVIA Internet Video Link? Coming through on its promise to send Hancock to Sony HDTV owners first, Sony Pictures is offering the flick (in 720p or 480p, depending on bandwidth) for $9.99 starting October 28 through November 10, and even throwing in a free Blu-ray copy after it's released November 24. We'll have to wait and see if the Hancock At-Home Premiere is a one of a kind promotion (note: the stream is "valued" at $29.99) or a regular benefit to owning a BRAVIA and accompanying $299 add-on, but we can't help thinking this would be alot more interesting if it were offered over the PlayStation Network.

Sony delivers Hancock via Bravia Internet Video Link, ahead of DVD & Blu-ray


Forget YouTube over Bravia Internet Video Link, Sony plans on making the dongle relevant this winter by releasing the blockbuster Hancock for viewing to anyone who has the device hooked up to their Sony HDTV. This debut will happen before the flick hits shelves as a DVD and makes for an interesting end-around VOD services, competing movie delivery boxes or any thorny MPAA proposals. Unfortunately its exposure is limited to those with Bravia TVs, a good Internet connection and the $299 device, and willing to pay an as-yet-unspecified amount for the privilege. We're also still waiting to hear the details of Sony's PlayStation 3 based movie network, but we wouldn't be surprised if Hancock -- like Click, James Bond and Talladega Nights before it -- pushes multiple Sony platforms at once.
