Washington, D.C. (February 11, 2009) -- Sony says it will introduce combo PlayStation 3 game/Blu-ray movie discs later this year, according to an article by Video Business.

The publication reports that the combo discs will be designed to broaden the appeal of the PS3 which has lagged in sales behind Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's XBox 360. Sony also wants to emphasize that its game console can play high-def movies as well as games.

Video Business writes that the combo disc would also allow PS3 owners to transfer the film to view on a PlayStation Portable.
“We are actively pushing, and the way that we see the future is that the movie and the game are placed on the same disc,” John Koller, director of hardware marketing for the PS3, told the publication. “There are a lot of developers who say, we have this game based on a movie, wouldn’t it be great to marry these concepts? We will definitely see this stuff this year.”

The executive did not say when the combo discs would be available, but he said two or three could launch this year. He also did not offer specific pricing for the combo discs.
