No one can say for definite until it arrives, but it looks like it probably will be. The bonus features listed for the Masterpiece Boxset on Amazon are as follows, but there are no specifications for this release yet:

Deleted Scene, Original Ending, The Birds: Hitchcock’s Monster Movie – New! (Blu-ray Exclusive), All About The Birds, Storyboards, Tippi Hedren’s Screen Test, Hitchcock-Truffaut Interview Excerpts, The Birds Is Coming (Universal International Newsreel), Suspense Story: National Press Club Hears Hitchcock (Universal International Newsreel), Production Photographs, 100 Years of Universal: Restoring the Classics, 100 Years of Universal: The Lot, Theatrical Trailer, BD Live, Pocket Blu (Blu-ray Exclusive).

It's likely that this version will have the same features and the same remastered transfer.

Can someone confirm if the special features are the same as on the previous release?

Thanks

No one?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be the same exact content from the disc found in the Masterpiece collection.

I guess since it's a 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, there's a chance it might be something new, except for the art card inside. I'm a special features junkie and would really like to know if I need to upgrade my copy to this one.

Well, since the US hasn't even announced a single release of this and this is a special limited edition, I went ahead and ordered it. I don't care for the cover very much, I much prefer the cover for the US version in the Hitchcock Collection, but well...since they ain't releasing it as a single...then I guess this one will have to do.

I sure hope the disk is the same as the US disk, so I wont miss out on any special features. Now, if this one has MORE, then I will be a little happier.

This and Psycho have always been my favorite Hitchcock films.
