Midway announced today that the collector's edition of the PLAYSTATION 3 version of its upcoming shooter Stranglehold would get a sweet addition, the inclusion of the John Woo film Hard Boiled. The high definition Blu-ray movie will not be a pack-in extra, but will instead appear on the same disc as the game.

As John Woo's Stranglehold is the videogame sequel to the 1992 gun play Hong Kong classic, it should give gamers who haven't seen Hard Boiled some background on the game's protagonist, Tequila. Both are played by actor Chow Yun-Fat, an actor Woo has tapped many times for lead roles.

The collector's edition adheres to next-gen pricing, coming in at $70. Yeah, it still hurts, but it's better than a metal tin. Michael McWhertor
