Updates on the rumored Psycho re-release?
I read a few months back that it was rumored Universal was releasing Legacy editions of both Psycho and The Birds. Anyone heard any updates? They were suppose to come out in Sept. If that's the case I think the studio would have said something by now. Thanks.

The triple-feature set of the sequels is coming on August 14th, so maybe it's timed for that.
It'll probably just be the Masterpiece Collection DVD, with a second disc containing the making-of (which is on the bonus disc in the box set). The only things that could be added are a music-only track (present on one of the laserdiscs) and a commentary (not really needed since the documentary is so comprehensive).

Oh, and the episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which have been released elsewhere, but never paired with his movies. I guess that could qualify as a "new feature."

I wish the studios would hurry up, but given that the format war has been over for only four and a half months now, it's easy to understand why there are so few Blu-ray releases.

I own the Collector's Edition, but I'll definitely be picking this up.
Will make for a fun Halloween season purchase.
Of course, I plan to have a Blu-ray player by then so I will most likely be cursing Universal up and down for a lack of a BD.
