For a limited time only, if you purchase a new Samsung Delve from Alltel Wireless, you will be eligible to receive a free 2GB microSD card pre-loaded with the Mission Impossible Trilogy. The card is available to all customers who purchase a new Samsung Delve handset  Feb 20th till April 16th. This is the first time Samsung Mobile and Paramount Digital Entertainment have worked together to bundle movies with mobile phones (and hopefully it won’t be the last!).

You’ll need to send in a mail-in redemption card to receive the 2GB microSD card (which will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to arrive after receipt of the mail-in card).

Enjoy!

Warner Bros. upcoming “The Dark Knight” Blu-ray title will be the company’s first release to include Internet enabled interactive features exclusive to the Blu-ray format. According to Warner Bros. owners of “The Dark Knight” will be able to host their own Live Community Screenings with friends, record, and post user-generated commentaries over the film using My WB Commentary, access additional exclusive content on Warner Bros.

Here’s an excerpt from the press release on what you can do:

“Users will be able to host their own Live Community Screening with their buddy list or the entire Warner Bros. BD-Live community. Fans and friends across the country can send invitations for screenings at a specified time and chat with each other as the movie plays.

The “My WB Commentary” feature of BD-Live will allow fans to post user-generated Picture-in-Picture commentary right over the film then share it with friends or the entire Warner Bros. BD-Live Community. Using a web-camera, users can record their own comments and play them back as a Picture-in-Picture feature over the film scene they have chosen. Users can then post the commentary on BD-Live, share it with whom they select and receive a rating on their videos.

More Warner Bros. BD-Live initiatives will be announced in the coming weeks, including the opportunity for fans to interact with director Christopher Nolan during a special Live Community Screening. “

Additionally…

“Warner Bros. BD-Live will have exciting new content both specific to The Dark Knight and other WB films exclusive only to BD-Live registered users. Content includes, but is not limited to, two motion comics, one created as a bridge between the story of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and one created about The Joker, and an exclusive look a the premiere of The Dark Knight in New York City.”

One of the more interesting gadgets to hit the news this week was the Netflix Player by the folks at Roku. It’s a small playback device designed for Netflix subscribers that allows them to play back content from the Netflix Instant Queue. The best parts? It’s relatively inexpensive ($99.99), there’s no additional fee for your Netflix account (assuming you’re on one of the unlimited accounts), and it brings online movies straight to your television set. The bad parts? There’s only about 10,000 movies and TV shows thus far, there’s no HD content as of yet, and it’s not quite as smooth as say, the Apple TV.

You can read a review of the player here at News.com and here at PC Magazine. This is what PC Mag had to say about the player:

For those looking to augment an unlimited Netflix subscription, this set-top box from Roku is affordable and easy to use. Here’s hoping the movie selection becomes broader.
