Psycho (1960) (50th Anniversary Edition) - Page 7 - Blu-ray Forum

Viiincent · 05-17-2010, 11:40 PM

WOW! I've been looking for this one on DVD lately and I couldn't find it anywhere. Guess I'll stop looking for it and wait for the Blu-Ray!!

I just heard about this release yesterday. Great news!

From what I've read, I seem to be one of the few that love digibooks.

I really hope Psycho is released in one, just like NBN.

Warner Bros. is the studio that packages films in Digibooks, but Universal is the studio releasing 'Psycho.'

Sony has done a few digibooks as well, but yeah with Psycho being a Universal release it won't have a digibook.

anyone know how Universal usually is about region coding? i have a feeling its gonna be bad news for this, but why cant we ever get anything cool like this? the UK gets all the cool steelbooks.

Universal's Blu-rays are region free. I do hope that Ms. Leigh isn't screaming at the Blu-ray transfer itself, though, giving Universal's track record

^^ Thanks for the info!!!

bluraypride1975 · 05-26-2010, 02:50 AM

i want this movie bad!!

fortil · 06-06-2010, 03:26 PM

This is great news. I have a question: Amazon.co.uk says the release date will be 9th August, is this information correct?

Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psycho-Blu-r...837784&sr=1-12

RipleyLV426 · 06-09-2010, 05:37 PM

Walmart.com has it for $19.96 right now...that's the cheapest I've seen, I just hope the transfer is faithful

Buddy Ro · 06-10-2010, 05:45 AM

when i saw it on HD Net movies a couple of years ago it looked great in HD, so im sure the blu transfer will be legit! Cant wait!

Phil92 · 06-10-2010, 05:47 PM

UK steelbook or beautiful regular artwork?

RedSoxNation · 06-10-2010, 06:30 PM

I really like the UK steelbook - I guess I'll pick that one up. The artwork on the US blu-ray is the same as my copy on DVD (not that that's a bad thing).

jeffroinc · 06-10-2010, 07:12 PM

Amazon now has it available for $19.99. I have been watching and that is the lowest $ I have seen it at.

mayorofsmpleton · 06-10-2010, 07:15 PM

OMFG that's a beautiful cover.

Wow, just in case nobody knew Psycho was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, they decided to put his name on the cover twice. Oh well, I'm glad they fought the urge to make the background blue, although it might have looked better in red. Anyway, I just hope the movie looks great.

Mr. Cinema · 06-10-2010, 08:14 PM

That artwork is the final US version. The HDRoom provided the cover.

I hope Universal gives us Rear Window and their other Hitch titles sooner than later under the "Masterpiece" banner.

Kory · 06-10-2010, 09:34 PM

I don't like the "masterpiece" banner at the bottom, and wish they'd rather kept the normal Universal banner that's at the bottom of every one of their BDs except "It's Complicated," but I understand why they did it. They better be consistent with the rest of their Hitchcock films now though.

Eagle_23 · 06-10-2010, 10:17 PM

The UK release should be identical to the North american release in October (in terms of extras & quality), right?

retablo · 06-11-2010, 08:52 PM

Great article about the intended aspect ratio and what we've been generally given...
