Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
I'm just so happy this is coming (provided the transfers are okay), but yeah: first a burgundy faux-velvet box and now a bigger, showier box in black and gold #LUXURYREALNESS

I would rather buy 13 standard Blu cases even if it cost more.

And that way, you won't have to buy Topaz.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
Will pass as well especially since we know that individual releases, even as steelbooks, are coming. My only worry is that they'll only release Vertigo, Rear Window, The Birds and Marnie on their own and give the likes of Shadow of a Doubt short shrift.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
I wonder if North By Northwest is getting a new transfer. I'm very happy with the current one as opposed to most folks, but I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate a revisit.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
I pre-ordered the Hitchcock set. With amazon uk's free shipping and VAT removal, the total comes to £93.74. Too good a deal to turn down.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
Most folks think the current release is fantastic. And since it's is licensed from Warner, the disc will be identical to the current one.mfunk9786 wrote:I wonder if North By Northwest is getting a new transfer.

I think it looks alright, pretty lazy but nothing obscenely bad.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
It's fucking great if we're getting this packaging on Blu-ray.com now! A nice, slim, fairly stylish box!
I literally imported the US North by Northwest digibook three weeks ago so looks like I'll be double-dipping on at least the one film.
Edit: It seems just the Yanks are getting this... you bastards!

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
I disagree on the cover, it's actually pretty clever. And THANK GOODNESS for slim packaging - I will now be a buyer.

I guess it wouldn't be so bad if "Hitchcock" wasn't split on 2 lines...

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
It's not bad at all. What's wrong with the Hitch-Cock splitting? You are not a ten year old girl.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
I don't understand the huge difference in price between this and the UK set. The US set has far more modest packaging and 15 discs compared to 14 in the UK set, but the retail prices are $300 vs. £150.

It's amateurish. Especially compared to the classier UK and German sets.eerik wrote:It's not bad at all. What's wrong with the Hitch-Cock splitting? You are not a ten year old girl.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
That cover is horrendous. Too much stuff going on, it draws the eye every which way and it's all irregular. I had trouble looking at it.

I hope none of you are foolhardy enough to sell off your DVDs/pre-order until we get some word on whether Universal shellac'd the picture like they have on most of these horrible 100th Anniversary Blus

My Hitchcock DVDs are long gone. Hopefully they kept their hands off the dnr button for these blu.

Uh, yeah. I'm not foolhardy enough to do that, Domino, are you kidding?! Would be crazy.

Re: Universal Catalog Titles on Blu
Not sure why they didn't use the inside cover art as the outside cover art, it's much better.
