Battle: Los Angeles and Resistance 3 both fall under the Sony umbrella even though one is an effects spectacle movie and the other a video game. Sensing the opportunity to leverage one to benefit the other, Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have teamed up to provide an offer you can’t refuse.
Today SPHE announced that Battle: Los Angeles starring Aaron Eckhart will arrive on Blu-ray June 14 in single-disc and DVD combo configurations. The big news is that by purchasing either version of Battle: Los Angeles on Blu-ray, you will find a 30-minute playable single-player demo of Insomniac Games’ Resistance 3 for Playstation 3. That’s right; you can get a solid taste of Resistance 3 in roughly 6 weeks.
SCE is also planning a Resistance 3 multiplayer beta but those details are still being ironed out. What’s on the Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray is strictly a single-player affair.
