Question about Hard Boiled Blu-Ray with Stranglehold
 

Does anyone know what company is releasing this? Any features or anything?

The game is being released by Activision, and the movie rights are owned by The Weinstein Company. In a way, I guess you could say this is the first Blu-ray released by Weinstein.

The inclusion of the Hard Boiled Blu-ray with Stranglehold for the PS3 is the reason I'm going to get it for that console. I've never seen the movie, but I've heard great things. It just sucks that the game is delayed until September 14th, when the 360 version comes out this month.

are they going to do a seperate release on blu ray for this?

Interesting I wonder if this will have the dreaded dub-titles. For those that are thinking about getting this Family Video has it for $59.99 plus there's a $5 coupon floating around.

I want to know that too, please. I imagine that the Weinstein will include the same subtitles that is included on the DD release.

Could people purchasing this game let us know if the movie has the same stretching and dubtitles issues that is present on the DD release?

Anyone see this on kotaku.com?

Is that for real?

If it's contained within the game's menus, it would make sense since it's on the same disc as the game.

I've heard its only avalible on the 'collector's edition' version for $74.99 MSRP.

I've talked to 3 different people at 3 different GameStops and they've told me that they were told that this film wasnt going to be in 1080p.

Has anyone confirmed as of yet if this is true?

According to Midway's mktg SVP and CMO Steve Allison, Midway "used the master digital tape from the film print and then ourselves converted it to support all HD resolutions, including 1080p."

I'll confess that I'm not sure what that means.

The linked article does confirm that the movie is only accessible from a PS3 menu and they acquired the rights from the Weinstein Company.

Well I really hopes it looks better than the trailer for the game and movie that I downloaded from the Playstation store. It looks like an upconverted dvd. If that's the case than I think a lot of people will be upset they spent $75 for a horrendous transfer.

Yup, the PS3 CE of the game will be $69.99 in stores.

I am definitely going to pick up the game near release. Going to wait for reviews of the film PQ before I decide what version to pick up.

Yeah, with Bioshock and Metroid Prime 3 coming out, I won't need to pick up Strangehold until reviews of both versions are up and I can decide whether it's worth the extra money for the movie.

TMNT = Weinstein? Right?

I think TMNT was a co-production between Weinstein and WB, and WB released the home video versions.

They had a hand in producing TMNT, however Warner has the North American distribution rights.

Note the two Warner Bros. logos on the back cover:

Has anyone found a review of Stranglehold? More to the point, has anyone read anything on the BD of Hard Boiled? I'm searching....found some reviews of the game only.

The PS3 version with the movie isn't due until the end of the month, so there are no reviews yet.

According to Amazon and the bargain ads for next week, it's slated to release next Tuesday.

- Just noticed the bargain ads do not specify the Collector's Edition. The Best Buy ad for Sept 2-9 shows it being released on XBox 360.

I'm more confused now.....

The 360 version is out, as I've seen both editions at Best Buy this week.

I've got my copy reserved - I'll let the team know as soon as I crack the seal.

Much appreciated. So did you reserve the Collector's Edition for PS3? How much did you get it for? Everywhere seems to be at about $69.99.

I preordered it from familyvideo for $55.98 shipped. The price that they are charging for the collector's edition is $59.99 but there is a $5 off coupon for new members.

Yeah tell me how much this sucks!!

Its been pushed back until Oct. 22nd!!

WTF!

This is the second time this games been pushed, I'm not even worried about the game to be honest with you.

I WANT HARD BOILED! lol
