Vertigo 4K Steelbook (US)

[dcfan88]

Day one!
It'll be nice to have my two favorite Hitchcock movies on 4K steel! (The other being The Birds)

There never was a blue poster, what you're looking at is a magazine ad.

Saul Bass created a whole range of posters and ads for the movie. Really interesting stuff, and a glimpse of a different age of movie marketing: "Saul Bass' Vertigo Movie Poster Design"

The blue poster art looks great, wish that was the cover.

It would be appropriate for the Blufans edition to make some use of that design.

Amazon is hilarious. They have the amaray case release of Vertigo for $28.96 right now.

The steelbook will likely be 21.99 at Best Buy. Maybe 19.99 at Target.

For $37 zavvi can go kick rocks glad I don't have to deal with their prices. It's only a pre-order.
This is almost guaranteed to be $20-22 in the US at Target/Best Buy respectively.

I think you are lucky, in this respect, to be in the US because Target and Best Buy refuse to ship outside of US/CDN (maybe Mexico too, forgot which one) and if you want it from the US you pay through the nose at which point you might as well use zavvi and be hassle-free.
I do agree, the steelbook prices for most steelbooks at zavvi are crazy. But this is one I don't want to miss. I pre-ordered, but if it shows up on international amazon you can bet imma gonna cancel this bad boy.

I don't know if it matters to you but the US SteelBook will have the title on it but the Zavvi edition won't.

If these steel books are something you are buying, what made you hold off on buying the 4k Hitchcock classics collection or are you getting these on top of that? Just curious.

Thank you for this...was just trying to figure out the difference. Definitely will snag it from Best Buy

Box set will go once I get the next pairing. I could not ask more from this line. Classic poster art and the backs have a shared theme. I wish they’d do the entire previous 15 film (BD) set in 4K, like this.

Might be too early to say. The title-less zavvi might be a weird mock-up.
Is there a precedent for his steelbooks having only this difference between markets?

The Birds was different in the US and the rest of the world—title in the US, no title elsewhere. Rear Window also looks to be the same deal—no title outside of the US.

Didn’t the European versions of The Birds and Psycho already have no titles?

[UnionJackMix]

Well this news sucks guys.

It’s so dumb as I much prefer the title on the cover and the US releases can only really be bought on eBay for me at silly prices.
