on October 19, 2009. Following, on November 3, 2009, Hitchcock on Blu-ray entered the United States
with North by Northwest. The quality and extensive number of special features on this specific Blu-ray transfer has appealed to many Hitchcock fans and is highly rated. Though unfortunately The 39 Steps lacked the quality that Blu-ray can properly fulfill. North by Northwest received an effective process of restoration and quality upgrade via a 1080p/VC-1 transfer. Universal announced the Blu-ray debut of Psycho on October 19, 2010 to commemorate its 50th Anniversary. This edition will have restored picture and sound plus bonus material. Many other Hitchcock titles are planned to receive a transfer in the future.

with North by Northwest. The quality and extensive number of special features on this specific Blu-ray transfer has appealed to many Hitchcock fans and is highly rated. Though unfortunately The 39 Steps lacked the quality that Blu-ray can properly fulfill. North by Northwest received an effective process of restoration and quality upgrade via a 1080p/VC-1 transfer. Universal announced the Blu-ray debut of Psycho on October 19, 2010 to commemorate its 50th Anniversary. This edition will have restored picture and sound plus bonus material. Many other Hitchcock titles are planned to receive a transfer in the future.
