Casino Royale Chooses Bluray Disc!
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) will be gifting Blu-ray discs of the latest James Bond flick, Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig and Eva Green, to the first 500,000 buyers of PS3 - who manage to register it on the PlayStation Network.
The movie will come gift wrapped in a 50GB dual-layer Blu-ray disc, encoded in MPEG-4 AVC with 1080p true HD resolution and uncompressed audio.
Speaking about the offer, Darren Carter, VP Brand and Consumer Marketing, SCEE, said that the PlayStation Network lets loose the broad range of interactive entertainment features of PS3. It is easy to set up, presents free online gaming, has vast tools for staying in touch with friends and family, and comprises a wide variety of content for download through the PlayStation Store.
Carter said that all this and more would enable users experience a whole new world of interactive entertainment, and that is why the company is offering Casino Royale on Blu-ray disc to PS3 owners who register on the PlayStation Network.
Carter added that not only does Casino Royale make the most of the features and capabilities of the Blu-ray format but that it is also one of the most exciting and entertaining movies to debut on Blu-ray this year.
Of course, now that Carter has put it in so many words, one of the scenes in the movie actually features a Blu-ray player...
