It seems that the General Motors is trying to up it's brand by 'sponsoring' some of the Autobot's.

First we had the news that Bumblebee has become a Chevy Camero concept, he was a Beetle for feck sakes! hence the name!

Then there was Brawl, he is now a Ford Mustang! and to add insult to injury, poor Ratchet will be a Hummer!

Now I'm not sure about those three , but the last is the best, Jazz will not be the Martini Porsche 935 race car, instead he will be a Pontiac Solstice, the car is not even worthy to be said in the same sentence as the Porsche!

I don't get it, and all though really looking forward to the movie, may not bother to go and watch it purely because of this product placement fiasco!

Leave them alone, GM, please get bought before the movie is finalised, so we can have the real cars back again! Either that or VW/Porsche stump some money up for the product placements!

Have a look over on AIKN for what the fanboys reckon.

Here's some before and after's

The DVD Times is reporting that a region 1 version of a fully restored version of the great F1 movie is being released. It features a restored 65mm to DVD video transfer and a remastered 5.1 soundtrack.

It also features a bunch of documentaries, 4 of which have not been released before.

I'm not sure about a region 2 release date (or even if it's coming here) so I would pick it up from your local R1 distributor.
