Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Blu-ray arrives November 9, with bonus streaming movie
Michael Cera fans can smile, as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is coming to Blu-ray November 9, and appears to be getting the premium treatment with plenty of extras. Check the press release after the break for a full list of the special features exclusive to this Blu-ray, but beware as it's long, with plenty of time dedicated to explaining the story's journey from comic book page to screen. Of course, since it's a Universal disc it's also getting the pocket BLU BD-Live integration that allows remote control and content access from computer or mobile device, and viewers choice of either Tremors or Pitch Black as a free streaming movie for a short time. Not that many people checked this one out in theaters, but we imagine its video game-style look will fit very well on the HDTV this winter.
Universal's Charlie St. Cloud Blu-ray is the next to include bonus BD-Live movies
As excited we are that Zac Efron's summertime flick Charlie St. Cloud is coming to Blu-ray November 9 (and we're really excited) the main reason we're mentioning this one is it's the second flick by Universal to offer buyers their choice of bonus movies viewable through internet streaming. Lorenzo's Oil and What Dreams May Come (also like the Get Him to the Greek deal because both films have not yet been released on Blu-ray) can stream to viewers TVs via their BD-Live connected Blu-ray player or to another device on the pocketBLU app for iOS, Blackberry, Android, Windows and Macintosh hardware. We're still not sure what to make of streaming video as the new big thing for BD-Live, but if these implementations work better than the buggy implementation included on the Wolfman Blu-ray, then free extras are always welcome.
