In what will be the first of (we assume) many such deals, the PlayStation Network Video Delivery Service is offering a special edition of Pixar’s “Cars” between now and the 20th of December.  UK customers will be able to download the “fast-paced animated adventure”, along with the extra films (El Materdor and Mater and The Ghostlight), straight to their PS3 or PSP – the rental is priced £2.49.

I think this is pretty neat, and although I’m sure most people will already own Cars (it’s a great movie) the rental prices are actually rather well thought out.  I do have a vague recollection of at least one of the special extra animations being present on the Blu-ray already, but that’s not really the point – if Sony are courting the big studios with special edition releases that must mean the Video Delivery Service is doing OK.

Right?

  1. Right! Nofi :D

    i personally love the film Cars and wouldn’t mind the special content that comes with it. Looks like something to look into..

    Awesomeness rating = Awesome.


    • Yeh your right. It is a must to have. if you have childer at home. :P


    • ‘Awesomeness rating = Awesome.’

      Gaaarghhhh!


  2. Never seen “Cars” does it work as well as other Pixar releases in the fact that adults can enjoy it too?


    • Absolutely. It’s less ‘deep’ than the likes of Up, but it’s still great fun.


      • Thanks. I will give that a go. Is the Vid store updated early as well today?


      • Don’t think so, but the Cars deal should be there already.


      • now up, that was an amazing film.
        despite making their human characters very cartoon like they still manage to convey plenty of emotion.
        there was one scene nearly had me in tears.
        and of course plenty of laughs for kids and adults.
        that’s the thing about the pixar films, they’ve never been about the technology.
        and they’re never just kids films, there’s always something the adults can get out of the films too.
        just had to gush for a minute there. :)


      • yeah, both the kids and grown ups in my family like Cars. but the the kids like them all except The Incredibles which they haven’t managed to sit through yet.


  3. Hated Cars, it’s way to sugary for it’s own good.


    • Agreed.


  4. Not a bad price
