Were you planning to buy a Sony Bravia TV or Blu-ray player in the near future? If so, the company will throw in a free streaming movie, and you'll get to see it a month before it's released on disc.

Buy the product between November 9, 2009 and January 4, 2010 and you'll get to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The movie will also be streamed to owners of current networked Bravias, plus the BDP-N460 networked BD player, for a cost of $24.95 between December 8, 2009 to January 4, 2010.

We've been seeing a lot of streaming deals lately, some involving strange bedfellows. But two things make this Sony news special: (1) Free stuff! And (2) the precedent of streaming to Sony hardware owners before disc release.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is an animated movie based on a children's book of the same name. The voices are provided by SNL's Bill Hader and Andy Samberg, Anna Faris, James Caan, Mr. T, and Neil Patrick Harris.
