I already plan on getting all the ones from the UK. I didnt realize Universal was still coming out with the Digibooks for the Classic Monster movies since there coming out with the box set. I might hold off ont he box set as I would rather have Digibooks.

Agree. I would rather have the Digibooks for the classic monster movies.

Did I miss any that you know off?

Because they are included in the 13 new Universal restorations announced.

I'm surprised Universal hasn't commissioned a Digibook for Vertigo. I wonder if the Spartacus transfer will be the same (or better) than the current U.S. release.

I still own the laserdisc as I have refused to buy the flipper DVD since it's release. I cannot wait for it to come out on BD,

Very exciting digibook releases. Only have TKaM from that list. Will probably eventually end up with all of the US releases atleast!

Looking forward to some updates on release dates for "The Birds" mainly and certainly a few of the others also.

I've had The Birds blu-ray on order at Amazon since Oct 11, 2010 for $18.99; Amazon has never canceled the order and even sends out "we still don't have a release date" email every 30 days. I wonder if when it finally gets a release, if my order will be for the digibook? Can't believe this has been on order for two years!

That's ridiculous!!!! Same thing with my order for "The Walking Dead: Cutting Room Floor" hardcover book. About one year ago pre-ordered it, and every 30 days an email arrives saying "we have a new delivery date for you." The funny thing is that on the amazon description of the item it says "the must own Walking Dead item of the year.'

Ummmm.....which year?!!!! LOL ;-P

Lately I have had a great deal of problems with Amazon and have had to send items back for refunds/replacements. Really is getting tiresome!!! Fingers crossed that will shift now though.

Hope to have word on the digibooks for "The Birds" and "Psycho" soon. A couple others too I think I may get but only if these digibooks will include digital copies (iTunes) as others have!!!

[kryptonite1970]

Probably just the ones from the UK and the US.

Looking forward to Schindler's List (USA)

I hope they announce a release date soon (probably 2013).

[BarnDoor]

I'm hoping the digibook series continues into 2013 and Universal releases High Plains Drifter.

It's unfortunate that some of the 100th Anniversary bluray digibooks they had slated for 2012 won't arrive until next year. Those $3.00 coupons really came in handy but it seems the expiration dates on the codes are 12/31/12. So I suppose any of us who happen to still have these codes can redeem them on the last day considering the expiration date generated when redeeming the code is one month after. So we can only hope January 2013 they will release a few titles in which the $3.00 coupons can be used.

Anyone have any word on digibooks for "The Birds", "Psycho", etc?...

Definately picking up King Kong. After the debacle that was the first release of Gladiator, I am debating whether to chance replacing the Blu-Ray release I already have with a Digibook.

How are you getting the King Kong digibook if you live in USA? Everywhere I look it seems to be only available in the UK and European countries, Region B.

I would buy a Region Free or Region A without hesitation. Where can I get my hands on it? I live in California.

Thanks

He'll probably import it from Amazon UK or Zavvi.
