Aren't they the same disc? Or no?

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.

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....

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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...

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

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

Many of us own it, including me.

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!'

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

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

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.

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

Doctorossi 10-13-10 03:37 PM
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?
