Sony has announced that gamers who buy the popular sci-fi film District 9 on Blu-ray will also be able to play the God of War III E3 demo.

This is the first time that Sony, or anyone else in the industry, has included a demo and a film on a hybrid disc. God of War fans who complete the demo will also unlock an exclusive making of featurette about God of War III.

The District 9 movie disc will also include a few other special features: an “Interactive Map feature ‘Joburg from Above: Satellite and Schematics of the World of District 9,’ which provides a highly detailed environmental exploration of the world through a series of interactive satellite maps, technology schematics and photo-real files; and movieIQ, which allows viewers to immediately access continuously updated information on the cast & crew and explore relevant trivia such as production facts, music and soundtrack information all tied to scenes within the movie.”

A download voucher for the God of War III E3 demo will also be packed inside the upcoming God of War Collection. The God of War Collection, including both God of War and God of War II, will be available for the PS3 on the 17th of November, but we’ll have to wait a little longer for God of War III which will be arriving in March next year.
