Thanks for posting this! I would have missed this if it was in the Universal thread alone. Coincidently, I just placed this on my wishlist at DDD yesterday, but now that can be removed.

There isn't any use in me wasting over almost 70 bucks incl. shipping for this collection being as there is only a couple movies that I would actually want from it which is The Birds, and Psycho. I already have the signature collection for Rear Window. But thanks though!

Some titles are an upgrade, others aren't. one may be worse (The Man Who Knew Too Much) HD transfers have been made (airing on HDNET next month) and usually a HDNET release has occurred a few months before HD DVD movies become available.
I would pass if you have an HD DVD player.

Welp, The Trouble with Harry was a floater. The hub itself is too loose for the disc to stay intact. This highly irritates me as I now have to manipulate the innards and the box as a whole VERY carefully. Also, there some visible defect with the Extras disc, a blemish is very noticeable along with light scratches. Aside from the very light occasional scratches on the movie discs, they seem to be alright.

Thanks for your info. I don't have a HD DVD player nor a HD TV I am behind the times and need to catch up. IF I were to choose between Blu Ray or HD I would probably go with Blu Ray since I can get a PS3 that is a blu ray player. Are their any plans to release the hitchcock movies on blu ray

Universal is exclusive HD DVD (at the moment) so there are no plans..but that can change at any time..if you don't have an HDTV TV, I would recommend this set.
