Yeah me too.
No wonder the previous disc went OOP.
I am going to wind up owning at least two or three copies of every movie hitch ever made! I'll have to keep my criterions after picking up the new mgm box set, cuz all the features are different...and i cant very well toss out one disc from the universal masterpiece collection after i pick this up, can i? oh well. im not complaining, i'm psyched that this is coming with a commentary...and hopefully a better transfer. blu ray? please? I'd feel a bit better if it were blu.
Just compared, and it looks like the only thing it's missing from the previous release is "Cast and Filmakers: Biographies" and the new stuff is the commentary, "In the Master's Shadow: Hitchcock's Legacy", "Hitchcock / Truffaut Interview Excerpts" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents "Lamb to the Slaughter""
Love Hitch, but still going to hold out for the Blu.

I agree i want this so bad but I know a BD release is in the future.

I'll pick this up eventually; I have the Masterpiece Collection, so I'm in no rush. Wonder what the artwork will look like.
I'm definately buying it. Psycho is a Halloween tradition at my house, and I'm tired of renting it.
Nice for people that didn't take advantage of the Psycho: Collector's Edition release.
I really don't see the point of waiting for this movie on bluray, but that is just me. The step up isn't as nice as VHS -> DVD, so I doubt I'll be double owning much without getting deals.
I'm sure there will be another release will be in 2 years, Psycho's 50th anniversary. I just picked up the sequels in one set at Walmart, haven't gotten to watch any yet.

Artwork added
Nice artwork, but not replacing the collection I've got for this. Will only upgrade for a decent Blu-ray release.
Thank God I have never bought a Hitchcock film in my life. Thank God I waited for these special editions! I still want one for The Lady Vanishes, though. I heard that was good too.
Thank! God!!!
I already own the old edition, but I've waited forever for a 16x9 upgrade! And it being a 2-disc... *faint*

love the artwork...simple but I like it
I would LOOOVE a digital copy. Am I alone here?
Best Alfred Hitchcock movie of all time, but would look better on Blu-ray. I'll also hold out for the Blu-ray release of this movie. Hopefully, Warner Bros. will bring all of us a Blu-ray release of North by Northwest, and we'll all be set!
Wow! The Legacy Series eh? Wonder if I should sell my OOP 'Collector's Edition' DVD from 1998...any thoughts?
The cover design is great, but why on earth is Janet Leigh's name on the front, let alone first?
I just thought of something, being that it's the 'Legacy Series', will this come with a 40-50 page booklet?
Sweet! I love the Legacy Series, it will nicely match my others!
I don't own the Hitchcock collection, and was going to buy these individually, so I'm glad I waited.

Universal if you're reading this.
Please change the actor order (or remove entirely). Move Alfred Hitchcock's name to above the title. Straighten the image of the house sightly, I know it's often shown from an angle but not so much that it looks like it's falling over. Oh, and remove the white 'tear' strips from the title, they were only added after the remake came out.
Thank you.

The big star of the film?
What's new with this edition? Would like them to use some original art instead of that cover.

What Legacy Series has a 40-50 page booklet?
I have Frankenstein, To Kill, Dracula, Deer Hunter, The Sting...
None of these has one.
Are you thinking of the music "Legacy Editions" of CDs?

Best cover art in 2008 alone!
Even the banners at the top and the spine make it outstanding.

You might be, i personally hate digital copies. Just get a portable DVD player, better quality, better sound, longer lasting batteries than an MP3 player

Well, maybe in 1960, but even then she got the 'and' status. I don't like it when studios change things around like that. It's the same as when an unknown star sudddenly becomes famous. Would you like Johnny Depp in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' or Kevin Bacon in 'Friday the 13th'?

I love that cover.
I have 2-4 so might as well get the best one. I hope it's remastered
A worthy double dip ??
