Catalog titles sell so poorly overall that it wouldn't really be sound business for WB to release separate 2D and 3D versions. I'll wait until Strangers drops to $9.99, but will definitely pre-order Dial M.

I understand that it's a 3D movie, but having to pay almost double for something I will probably never have the hardware to play is a slight annoyance.

I wonder if this means no WB box set. Either way, I'm thrilled to finally get some catalog 3D titles!
From HTF:
All of the DVD extras have been ported over for both discs. The release date for Strangers on a Train is also 10/9. There was also this welcome tidbit:

I'm just impressed that WB is doing a classic catalog 3D title. Kiss Me Kate next?

Since there's 15 letters and 15 movies, I would assume so. That just increased my appreciation for that cover tenfold.
A - North By Northwest (for the plane)
L - Family Plot
F - Frenzy
R - Rear Window
D - The Birds
H
I - Torn Curtain (?)
T - Topaz (?)
C - Psycho
H - The Trouble With Harry
C
O - Vertigo
C
K
The rest (Saboteur, Shadow Of A Doubt, Rope and Marnie) didn't really fit any of the remaining fonts.

The I in Hitch would reference the knife in Psycho

So happy that Dial M has finally been confirmed as a 3D release! I've been wanting to see that in 3D for so many years and never had the chance. That one will be mine! Agreed about the covers. They really are an embarrassment, but that's why I don't watch covers. 
The Universal set looks amazing, too! This is turning out to be an amazing year for Blu-ray releases. Now I just need to hurry up and find a job so I can actually afford to buy a few of these when they come out ...

I think I'm going to hold off on those 2 Warner releases and wait for the eventual boxset.

Thrilled for Strangers on a Train. Thrilled, but somewhat cautious, about the big Universal box. Will wait for scuttlebutt on the video quality of those films.

I have no inside information, so this is just a hunch...but if Warner Bros. was planning their own boxset, do you think they would've licensed North By Northwest to Universal? I would guess no. At least in the forseeable future. Unless of course they're planning on revisiting North By Northwest with a new edition (there is a segment of people who were very unhappy with that release despite the positive reviews).
