Best Of Hitchcock re-release?

Since the two Universal Hitchcock boxes are now out of print... does that mean they are going to be re-released in the near future? Anyone know? Thanks.

When did it go out of print? It's still available on Amazon and DVDEmpire.

I wish they would re-release the 4 "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" discs separately or as a set of four. I had the 4 discs, but unfortunately had to sell them when I needed some money fast. Guess I'll have to scour Ebay sometime in the future.

I believe that they're doing season sets sometime very soon. Not sure if you'd prefer those; I actually like having all the half-hour ones Hitchcock directed together (I even put them all into one four pack). But I figure that when the season sets come out, people will start unloading their individuals.

Well, they did mention that on advertising inserts about a year ago, but (a) it was unclear if they were talking about the classic show or the 1980s remake and (b) there has been no mention of it since, and recent TV inserts no longer include it in the 'coming soon' section.

Also, keep in mind that this is Universal, the company that put out a press release years ago announcing the Rockford Files and other shows that we're still waiting for.

[Unless there's new news out there about the show... if so, I'd love to know. Definitely one of my favorites!]

Here's a much more recent update on Presents:

Our gift to you is the word of Universal's confirmation that Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Season 1 WILL be released in 2005. It's been talked about, but now Universal is saying it's on the slate. We just don't know "when" yet.

The headline says "original" as well.

Cool, thanks! (I had missed this I guess.) Still, I'm not holding my breath until we at least have a release date... Universal makes lots of promises.

Looking forward to picking up Season 1. (And hopefully they'll tackle the 1980s remake at some point too.) I'll still hang onto my Vol 1-4, though... good to have all of the Hitch-directed episodes set aside.
