    Shout Select Press Release: Abbott & Costello The Complete Universal Collection (Blu-ray)

    While I agree with a lot of what you said, I think there is at least one more factor to be considered: when Universal released that complete Universal Monsters box set last year, EVERYTHING in it was already available (well, technically, they were releasing the last two legacy collections at the...
