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.

Woooh... I thought you were going to use "This is Sparta!"

Yeah, but that cover art for Hancock Blu-ray is both HORRIBLE and SPOILERish. Yuck.

That's a pretty sweet deal.

Sony should definitely offer this on the Playstation Network. It would definitely set them apart from Itunes, Xbox live marketplace and anyone else.

I do not know why they are pushing this bravia link device? I would rather spend an extra 100 bucks and get a PS3.

Nice

[Madre Dios Posted Oct 14th 2008 10:58AM]

Hell yeah!

This sounds like a good deal, But Personally I would rather pay a bit more, and Own a ps3, and I Guess Sony Is Doing This so you get "incentives" to pay a lot of money for one of their tv's and a box, which you dont really need.

a lot

(two words)

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 14th 2008 12:40PM]

9.99 to stream a movie? If that's their price-point without throwing in a disc, it's more like an open request for piracy :(

[DaveBG Posted Oct 14th 2008 1:22PM]

That seems awesome!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 14th 2008 1:46PM]

saw this movie in the theater and it sucks ass.....definitely not worth renting/streaming/downloading/etc........

also I agree, this needs to go on the PSN, not their BraviaLink service...

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 14th 2008 4:18PM]

I would get one of these link modules if it were a sane price of like 99 bucks not 299 bucks.
