As I'm wondering if I should get rid of (sell) the SCC release?

From what I can tell, it has all the extras from the StudioCanal Collection edition plus a few more, but the main selling point is the remastered transfer. If I were you, I'd sell it and buy this one (either edition would be an upgrade from the disc you currently have).

Interview & Zither Performance by Cornelia Mayer

Hard to tell which one would be correct really at that level and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be noticeable without a side by side comparison.

Yeah I don't think it would be noticeable unless you were watching them on huge screens or projecting them side-by-side, and even then you'd have to be pretty fussy to do that in the first place!

Also worth pointing out there's less print damage on the SC

[alexp]

Mine arrived today too. Pre-ordered at £19 although I expect it might be cheaper in a few months if it's still available.
Too many other items arrived today so Third Man still sealed. Looking forward to it

What about the Interactive Vienna Tour from the old Blu-ray? There is no mention of it on the new edition...

I received my set this morning, and can confirm that the interactive tour is definitely on there.

The main feature looks wonderful to my eyes; deep blacks, and plenty of grain.

Just received my copy via Amazon Logistics - very nice set.

Will make a nice addition to my US 70th Anniversary Collector's Edition of 'Citizen Kane' Blu.

thanks. its a great package, i dont have it in any format so i ordered

[Dougling]

Just arrived at my desk. I've got a day off on Thursday so I'll have a sit down with it then. Excited about this one!

[CouncilSpectre]

Mine turned up this morning, just in time to grab a quick peek before heading out for the week. Will give the disc a spin when I get back.

Well, I popped into HMV to see if it was the same price as online and they didn't even have stock!

I'm surprised too. I was actually expecting an Amaray with the 4 discs inside, a slipcover on top and the photos sized to be fit inside the case.

Yeah I thought it'd be similar to the recent The Tales Of Hoffmann release that had art cards...but I guess with 4 discs and the poster and booklet as well as art cards they had to go big on the packaging. Thought £19 would have been a bit pricy for just a slipcover and art cards!

Probably my favourite non-MoC/Arrow special edition since Apocalypse Now!

I guess it's also quite an event for SC so they wanted to do something big for that too.

I went into my local HMV today, and they didn't have the standard or the ltd edition of The Third Man. Buckaroo Banzai and Zombi Holocaust were also conspicuous by their absence too. Bit of a wasted trip really.

There was one copy of Zombi Holocaust so I grabbed that. The sad thing is they're still selling the barebones amaray reissue of the last incarnation of Third Man. I suppose the stock of that has to run through but it's kind of pulling wool over peoples eyes.
