We've got big news for you Mortal Kombat fans: the two films, Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, are coming to Blu-ray. Of course, that's not the best part: you can receive a voucher code for a free exclusive character costume download in the upcoming game for the PlayStation 3, simply titled Mortal Kombat, with every purchase of either Blu-ray title. It's not as catchy as Mortal Monday, but these releases will arrive on April 19, 2011 from Warner Home Video, the same date as the brand new iteration of the videogame franchise, which is a Tuesday. Hmm… Toasty Tuesday? Sure, that works for us.
The first film was a commercial success, raking in the dough while providing fans of the videogame franchise ate it up based on the crazy action and stunts that were pulled off in the days before The Matrix. The second film didn't do so hot, as it replaced the majority of those involved from the first, and is considered a poor effort from Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon. Despite this, the pair is cherished by fans of the games for various reasons.
Unfortunately for those of us who are purchasing the Xbox 360 version of the game, there will be no downloadable costume included with the purchase of either movie. There have been a bevy of PlayStation 3 exclusives regarding this upcoming fighter, from the announcement that Kratos from Sony's beloved God of War franchise will be a playable character to the exclusivity of Stereoscopic 3D. For those curious, the character download will be for Jade, as it will provide her "Klassic" look. We're guessing this is her costume from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. No word has been uttered whether or not Xbox 360 owners can purchase this as Download Content.
The releases will contain bonus materials and extra features, and will both be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $19.98.
The Mortal Kombat Blu-ray will feature the following bonus materials:
-- Animated piece, Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins
-- Theatrical Trailer

The Mortal Kombat: Annihilation Blu-ray will feature the following bonus materials:
-- Theatrical Trailer
