Disney breaks new ground with BD movie/PS3 game combo disc
Disney has released a BD/PS3 combo disc that allow users to watch the original Toy Story 1 movie and play the Toy Story 3 movie-based game without swapping discs. The 'Toy Story 3 Hybrid Premium Edition' video game includes a copy of the original Toy Story (in Blu-ray) alongside the new Toy Story 3 video game.
When the Toy Story 3 Hybrid Premium Edition game is inserted into a PlayStation 3, the game will be playable from the console's menu just like a normal game. However, when the “Video” option is selected, the Toy Story 1 movie is played – in BD.
The Blu-ray format allows for the partition of the disc to recognize different types of media.
In the US, the hybrid Toy Story 3 game/movie disc carries a $15 premium over the standard version of the Toy Story 3 PS3 game, at $65.
