Glad I could help!

If you have region 2 DVD capability the Optimum 9 disc set from the U.K. has the same 5 + 4 more..all good prints. I think I paid about $25-30 shipped. It's called Alfred Hitchcock The Early Years.

Yeah I saw the UK 9 Film Collection but yeah unfortunately I am locked in with region 1 & A. I always say I am going to do something to change that but I never do

CriterionCast just posted that the Hitchcock Nine will be shown at the SF Silent Film Festival and then go on to Brooklyn with more cities to follow. Wouldn't be too shocking if The Lodger (at least) gets picked up for Blu-Ray distribution during/after this run.

06/04/13 - Includes 5 films - Rear Window, Vertigo, N by NW, Psycho and The Birds.

Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection Blu-ray

Nice, this a solid set. I will pick this up eventually. The Masterpiece collection is too expensive with too many films I don't care about.

I like that MGM three-pack as well, but holy crap the price better drop on that!

Cool, MifuneFan! Just placed an order for that set.

Moe Szyslak · 03-22-2013, 03:26 PM

Yea thanks for the look on that, free shipping?

These are actually the only Hitchcock films that I want to own so it is ESSENTIAL to me.

I'm just missing the Criterion release now

1934 - The Man Who Knew Too Much - Criterion
1935 - The 39 Steps - Criterion

Well, I doubt the quality is the same, but you could order this 3 pack from Spain for less than 20 Euros.

Well I will wait and see if anyone reviews them.

Moe Szyslak · 03-26-2013, 03:01 PM

This might be a large question, but what's the likelihood of any currently available titles changing distributor rights in the future? I'm wondering if Universal will eventually follow-up the smaller, Essentials collection with another set. I'm also wondering if Dial M and Strangers could be grouped in a Universal set a la NxNW, but I'm probably reaching there.

I don't think that'll happen. North By Northwest was included in the US Hitchcock set as a returned favour because Universal had earlier allowed Warner to use Spartacus in their US release of the Kubrick boxset.

This may sound weird, but does anyone know what kind of packaging this will come in? Digibook, Viva, etc?
