Talk about convergence. When "John Woo Presents Stranglehold" leaps onto video games shelves the week of Aug. 20, it will be the first time a full-length movie will be packaged with a game on the same disc.

For $70, Woo aficionados not only will get the Midway action title but also a high-def version of Woo's 1992 film "Hard-Boiled," which inspired the new game.

The special collector's edition will be available only for PlayStation 3 consoles, and Sony is quick to point out that the inclusion of the movie is made possible only because of the 50GB storage capacity of its Blu-ray Discs compared with the lesser 9GB capacity of competing DVD-based systems. As a result, the movie will not be included in the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game which will sell for $10 less.
The article goes on to describe Midway's relationship with John Woo and the process they went through to get the game made. It's an interesting read so take a look.
