Finally today, we’ve got an update on the Psycho Blu-ray/4K replacement disc situation. To recap: Universal’s recent Blu-ray and 4K release of Psycho was supposed to include the original theatrical mono audio and instead included a mono fold-down of the new 5.1 mix. So Universal started a replacement program for the discs. Those replacement discs DID start shipping out last week, but readers who received them noted that they STILL included the faulty mono audio. So I reported this to my contacts at Universal, and here is there response…
“To our valued customers:
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment recently instituted a replacement program for consumers who purchased the September 8, 2020 release of Psycho on Blu-ray and 4K UHD included in the Psycho – 60th Anniversary Edition and The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection. The initial run of the film’s Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs produced inadvertently omitted Psycho’s original 1960 mono track. Due to an unintended error, certain consumers received a replacement disc from this original batch of discs, instead of the newly corrected version. We have identified those impacted and will be resending the correct version as soon as possible. To receive an updated Psycho disc, please visit the UPHE Support website (https://www.uphe.com/en/contact-support) or directly email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If you have already submitted a request for and/or already received a replacement disc, you will receive the corrected one once it is ready – you do not need to submit another request. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.”
SO… there you go.
Back tomorrow with more. Stay tuned!
