You guys couldn't give us the option to watch all the in game movies after we beat the game? And the PS3 collector's edition is getting Hardboiled on Blu Ray so you all really couldn't give us 360 owners a DVD version of the movie? For everyone thinking of buying this game DON'T just rent it.

Yes, it would've been nice had they included a DVD version of the movie with the Collectors Edition version of the game for the 360. I would've bought the CE version if it had.

Is it a deal breaker though? Nope, not at all.

The game is crazy fun and every bit worth the money I spent on it. So, telling people not to buy, not because gameplay is poor, but because you've gotten your panties in a twist that they didn't offer the movie with it, is silly.

On the 360 version at least, you can unlock more movies by spending the 'Style Points' you've accumulated in the game. I wouldn't know of their quality yet though as I've been spending my points on unlocking new Multiplayer skins/models.

The game is fun but no game that only last 6 hours is worth $70. Just rent this one people. Maybe if they gave you more of a reason to own it I would say buy it but not when you can see everything the game has to offer in one play threw.

John Woo obviously isn't too fond of the 360 then.

This isn't necessarily true.

The deal with the PS3 Collector's Edition is that it's an exclusive release of the movie on Blu-Ray.

The XBox 360 CE has its own exclusive videos and perks.

You can pick up the DVD of Hard Boiled pretty much anywhere. It's on sale right now at Amazon.com for $15.99.

Yeah, i'm sure he hates the XB360 so much he decided to let them have the game weeks before anybody else......
John Woo would no doubt have had nothing to do with the release dates of each platform.

As for the different extra content, well that's the nature of rival platforms isn't it? XB360 vs PS3, HD-DVD vs BluRay, Mac vs PC....

XBOX = Owned? Not at all. Owning Stranglehold and having a blast playing = money well spent. This isn't a PS3 vs XBox issue for me other than, I'm more comfortable playing Shooters on my Xbox rather than my PS3, and even more comfortable playing them on the Wii, but alas, Stranglehold didn't come out for the Wii.

As for only 6 hours of gameplay, that isn't my experience with it. Seemed somewhere between 10-15 hrs on my first play through. (I didn't time myself) The beauty of it is, that the gameplay is fun enough to compel me to replay it just the Max Payne series did. Which I already replay a couple times a year.

There was a 2 hour and 33 minutes difference. Is that "quickly" to you?
