Aren't they the same disc? Or no?

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Well, I guess it is nice to have, but I have all of the available seasons of AF Presents, so I'm not terribly worried about it, I still made the right choice going with the Steelbook with booklet.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

The US version is NOT the same as the imports. Just look at the dub and ub options. As for the episode, I assume the reviewer just overlooked it, possibly. It would be strange for Universal US to leave it off....

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

They are screening the Psycho Legacy documentary durring screamfest next week here at work.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

It's the same transfer though, right?

And you're saying the UK release has that special feature, but the U.S. release doesn't?

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

I couldn't care less about the AHP episode

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

And now according to Blu-ray.com, another Hitchcock Classic coming to Blu-ray: The Birds. This is part of the 15 library releases coming from Universal.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

God dammit. They sent it in a cardboard envelope and the spine is severed from the rest of the steelbook at the top due to a dent. And of course now they are OOS. Fuck.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Obviously you've never seen "Lamb to the Slaughter."

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Still don't care

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Glad I held off on selling the Legacy Series dvd set.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Really? Just for that? Hmm.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

The blu-ray appears to be missing the theatrical trailers too.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Is the Psycho UK BD Steelbook now gone for good or just OOS?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psycho-Anniv...6583307&sr=8-1

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

It better not be gone as they arent shipping mine till my bttf tin ships.
(i ordered them togeather a few months back so the shipping wouldnt be as bad as just buying it on its own)

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

OK, quick question. Do all UK blu ray movies play on US Playstation 3's, regardless of whether it's an old fat model or the newer, slim model?

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

As a whole, no. Some select companies opt against region coding any of their releases, such as Universal and Warner. Others let a few slip through the cracks, depending on rights issues and other factors.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

OK, thanks. Is there a list of what companies are for and against it? Wondering how people know that UK's Psycho will play in US blu ray players...

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

as the last poster said, Universal and Warner releases are region free.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

There's usually a thread here. You can also check specific titles here (color coded).

Many of us own it, including me.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

WHA?! Per DVDBeaver, the US BD is missing a number of extras and a little bit-rate.

I guess we're seeing Universal's new policy: 'Now, more unused space on every disc!'

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

The only missing extra(s) is the TV episode and the booklet:

According to the review, the difference in bit-rate is minor:

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

The DVDBeaver & Blu-Ray reviews also both confirm the original mono track is only DTS on the US version, where as it was lossless DTS HDMA on the UK version. I think that swings it.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

... and lossless mono audio.

Fine, but when they're chopping other content off of the disc, why are they lowering the bit-rate, too?

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Can anyone tell me if the non-Steelbook UK edition contains all of the content (booklet, etc.) in the Steelbook version?

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

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

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Thank you!

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

My copy of psycho(along with Moulin Rouge) was shipped by Amazon yesterday saying it would arrive monday. Imagine my surprise when the Fed ex driver showed up with them today. Guess what i watched tonight :)

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.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

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.

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

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
 

Got my copy after work at Best Buy. Universal used a non-eco case. :up:

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

big :thumbsup:

Re: Psycho 50th Anniversary BD
 

Looking fine, watching it now.:D

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
 

I gave my copy a spin last night as well. Looked fantastic. :up:

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.
