I like the fact that I can sell it for more. The normal typical run of the mill dvd cost me 20$+ then I cant get more then five bucks for it the following year.

Well the packaging does promise that the stars from Infernal Affairs and there they are together in the same film.
Unfortunately it's not the intense quality of Infernal by any means.
It's a triad comedy with leading men Andy Lau and Tony Leung along with Anthony Wong showing the lighter side of Triad life.
The second feature is not bad with Simon Yam and Andy Lau letting off some decent gun play and the plot is not too shabby.
Stand out in this package is the bonus features which include short films,interviews with both leading actors,music videos and behind the scenes pieces.
They are quite good and lift the overall product.
So I give it 5 stars as follows-
1 star for Gods,Gangsters,Gamblers
2 stars for Triad Affairs
2 star for the bonus features(which are really good)

Given that reviewer F. Sison seems to only review products from Ventura Distribution, and seems to give 5 stars to products that other reviewers give 1 star and describe as "unwatchable", I would recommend taking his recommendation of this product with a serious pinch of salt.
I'm told that this release is a repackaging of the old Hong Kong films "Don't Fool Me" and "Century Of The Dragon". These films have NOTHING TO DO WITH INFERNAL AFFAIRS, and anybody expecting a similar experience is sure to be disappointed. Given Ventura's track record, I would expect these to be poor quality releases of the films too, and most likely unlicensed.
So, buy the set if you want, but be warned that you may not get what you expect.

Infernal Affairs is a landmark series and this double feature gives us a glimpse into the evolution of Hong Kong movies that led to this point.
The first film,Triad Affairs is a gangster comedy with all the leads from Infernal Affairs.
It's interesting to see them in roles different from the characters in Infernal Affairs.
The second film,Gods,Gangsters and gamblers is a John Woo style gangster shoot `em up that is terrific.
Loads of bonus fetaures on both Andy Lau and Tony Leung including music videos,behind the scenes footage and even some short films they made during the SARS epidemic.
There's a great short film Andy Lau did for a watch company that's very cool.
This is a bit high priced but well worth it for Hong Kong action fans!
