TVPredictions.com

Washington, D.C. (November 10, 2009) -- Sony announced today that it will offer Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs as an online rental to select Bravia HDTV and Blu-ray player owners before releasing it on DVD.

The move is designed to give the studio more clout over how and when a new movie is released. It could also lead to more studios releasing films on Blu-ray high-def disc as either an exclusive or, at least, before they are released on DVD.

However, Sony's price tag of $24.95 could put off many buyers.

To get the movie, which is an animated feature targeted to children, you'll need a Sony Bravia HDTV with a Bravia Internet Video Link or the BDP-N460 Network Blu-ray player.

Consumers who purchase one of those items before January 4 will get the movie rental for free.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device: $259
