Max Payne Gamers' Cut?

So, John Moore has managed to secure a PG-13 rating for the Max Payne movie. He previously had a disagreement with the MPAA, which had originally given it an R rating, stating that it was no more violent than the recent Dark Knight film that got a PG-13 rating. After trimming some frames, the MPAA reconsidered it's decision and gave it a PG-13 rating. What I'm more interested in though is his decision to include a "Gamers' Cut" in the DVD release. Apparently, it will re-introduce a small bit of the violence, but more importantly it will also re-introduce some of the more atmospheric pieces that are being omitted for the theater release to the brain-dead shoot 'em up masses. If I'm interpreting this correctly, the "Gamer's Cut" should be much more the film noir story of the game than the theater release will be.
