The Steelbook is the only edition with the booklet, all other content is identical to the regular UK edition.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

I ordered the Psycho Legacy from Amazon with a release date delivery guarantee (which has always worked out for me the past few weeks) so I'll be watching that on Tuesday. However the past few weeks Fed-Ex hasn't come until like 6pm or so, Tuesday is my day off and it would be nice to have that to watch right away when I get up, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

We premiered Psycho Legacy at work tonight, as part of screamfest 2010 (robert loggia was in the audience as well and took part in a Q&A) its decent enough but dont see it haveing any real replay value in the future for me.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

Just a heads up, this can be had from BN.com for $14.xx shipped, including taxes. Even cheaper if your state has no sales tax. It's $16.19 on the site, and if you're a member, there's a 15% off coupon that's valid right now: J8V9L9U

If you're not a member, go to BN.com/Library to get an extra 10% off and free shipping. Not quite as cheap there, but still like $15.xx shipped after taxes.

I personally will wait for it to hit $10 methinks, but I figured I'd point it out.

If anybody takes this over to Blu-ray.com and posts it, tell them to suck it for banning me a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks! The cheapest this could possibly be in the near future would be $13.58 from Planet after cashbaq during the 25% off sale. It would be $15.40 from DD during the same sale, so this looks like the best route.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

I didn't start this movie until late last night, so I'm only through 45 minutes, but it looks damn impressive. This is my favorite movie of all-time, so I've watched the dvd alot and this is a huge improvement. It does feel like a new movie seeing all the extra detail. I was also listening to the new 5.1 DTS mix. Dialogue sounded great.

During the scene where Marion just arrives at the motel and sees "mother" walking across the window looked excellent. With the increased resolution, you can actually sort of see that it's Norman. On the dvd, the lack of detail always made it seem like an out of focus shot.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

It defaults to the original audio, but I actually like the then 5.1 mix better - mostly for it's greater clarity.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

Anyone a little disappointed in the transfer? I watched this last night and I still noticed lots of scratches, nicks, whatever all throughout the movie. With it being the 50th anniversary edition and the first time of blu-ray, I guess I was expecting a crystal clean print.

It does look the best I have ever seen it but I still was a little disappointed in the final product. Were my expectations on the picture quality too high? The 5.1 sound, while quiet, did it's job and was fine.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

Being a 50 year old film and made on a low budget, I'm not surprised there is still some print damage. I don't think it's to the point of distraction.

A touch OT: my review of The Psycho Legacy, which is, as AmityBoatTours says, underwhelming.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

So is this version worth getting or is it better to get the UK one since it has the higher bit rate and the lossless audio on the mono track?

Lossless mono was enough to convince me that the UK version was the one for me. I didn't get the steelbook version. It cost me $19 and change from amazon.co.uk. It only took 6 days to arrive at my door.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD

I was at Target and I saw this girl get really excited about it and point it out to her boyfriend. He told her to go ahead get it, then she picked it up and got a really disappointed look on her face. She put it back on the rack and said "I thought was the Vince Vaughn one". I laughed pretty hard about that.

My wife (then girlfriend) dragged me to see this underwhelming remake of one of the greatest films ever made when it came out originally. About two-thirds of the way through the movie, the projector shut off and the lights mysteriously came on.

Unfortunately, the movie did resume a few minutes later.
