Casino Royale Special Edition Is The First Second Blu-ray Double Dip

Casino Royale, a film from Sony Pictures, is going to be the title to hold the dubious honor of being ~~first~~ to double-dip on "Sony's" Blu-ray format. We're honestly surprised that it took this long. The $39 October 21 release will have seven hours of extras that weren't in the original Blu-ray or DVD release, which may or may not be enough to get you to buy the same movie twice. Those of you hoping the already more expensive Blu-ray format would have gotten studios on the "release once" method should really tone down your optimism a little bit.

Update: adaorardor points out that Full Metal Jacket was actually the first to double-dip. Thanks!

Sony Ericsson Releases Limited Edition James Bond K800 and K790

Sony Ericsson's pumping up their upcoming Sony Picture's James Bond flick, Casino Royale, with some limited edition James Bond phones. Despite the fact that these K800s and K790s are old hat and James Bond should be using top-of-the-line gear (Q needs to read Gizmodo more!), they are pretty nice handsets and work on dual-mode UMTS (K800) and tri-band EDGE (K790). The phones will come with some wallpapers, ringtones, and themes all tying in with the new movie.

Of course, the land Her Majesty rules over already has the Sony Ericsson W850, which has 3G video chat for stealthy communications and a music identification feature, which lets you ID a song anywhere just by holding the phone up to it. Now there's a feature that will impress Pussy Galore. And we may have a bit more on the phone later today if you're good boys and girls. – Jason Chen
