"Stranglehold" Collector's Edition to have Hi-Def "Hard Boiled"?

Midway is hosting a short survey about their upcoming John Woo title Stranglehold, the video game sequel to Woo's Hard Boiled movie.

The last question on the survey is interesting -- it says Midway is thinking about releasing a Collector's Edition of the title, and asks,

"Would you pay an additional $10 for the Collector's Edition of Stranglehold if it contained the full-length feature film Hard Boiled, directed by John Woo, in High Definition?"

Ten bucks extra to get a hi-def movie (and a good one, at that)? Sure!

And if this signals the beginning of Blu-Ray add-ins for the PS3, and HD-DVD pack-ins for the Xbox 360, so much the better.

And remember, this is the game CliffyB said was one of the top amazing games at E3 2006:

"So I have to ask all of the gaming journalists - as well as Midway's marketing and PR department - how is it that that Stranglehold is not getting more awards/press?

"Seriously.

"Whereas I was swamped at the show (demos and interview FTW) I DID manage to sneak away with Chantal and check out the show floor and a bunch of games. And whereas I wasn't able to check out the Wii (Sony and Nintendo, shame on you guys for the current controller pissing match - and Shiggy, if you'd stopped by to play Gears you might have dug it!) I WAS able to check out STRANGLEHOLD which, in my opinion, was one of the top three games of the show.

"This is one of the rare examples whereas Hollywood influence and star power really benefit the product. Chow Yun Fat and John Woo - and you PLAY THE MOVIE. Each area is like one big DM arena in which you're flipping around like a fucking ninja shooting fools while the environment falls apart around you.

"And no, I'm not just saying this because it's our engine. This shit is hot and needs some props."
