The question then becomes, do I, a person who doesn't have the Hitch Criterion box set, get this and the other titles individually at a later date, or do I hold out and get the box?

I'd say get the box if you can, it would make for a nice part of someone's collection. I've picked up 3 of the 5 titles individual because I didn't have the ~$115 when it was in print, and now I can't really afford some of the prices that people are asking, so I guess I'll just get around to picking up the other 2 individually as well, and hoping at some point I find someone on ebay selling just the actual box.

If you ever do get the Box Set down the road you can easily sell this title for what you paid and probably more.

Are the individuals the exact same DVDs as that come in the boxset? I just got into CC's and have been trying to figure out which way to go, since the boxset makes you have to file discs out of order by number, which would probably bug me more than trying to find each one in the boxset on it's own.

The box is exactly the same as individual releases...its actually just a slip cover that fits all 5 cases. Although it would be nice to have the box, its not worth the extra effort or money, its pretty flimsy looking from what Ive seen.

I'd also like to comment on the film's quality. The movie is GREAT plain and simple. I don't think Cary Grant has turned in a better serious role than he did in this movie. And then there's also the wonderful Ingrid Bergman and the always terrific Claude Rains. I highly recommend this film to everyone. One of my favorite classic movies.

Add me to the list that would get this if I didn't already have it. Got the box set a while back, and have since traded off one of the titles, but this one is a keeper.

Damn, it's showing up as $28 on mine, I was gonna pick this up but after seeing the price and how most of the extras are text only (thanks dvdtalk reviews!) I'm just gonna wait til the next edition comes out from Universal.

I ordered this yesterday when I saw the price. I was going to order Rififi CC but I couldn't pass up the price on Notorius. Never seen this so it's a blind buy but I've never been disapointed in Hitchcock yet.

I'm a 100% positive they were OOP because I managed to get several copies of Mon Oncle before the supplies dried up and sell them on Ebay for a big profit. Here is a thread when they were announced for re-release in 2004.
