I received one copy, as early on, they were in short supply. I purchased a second for my son. I don’t mind supporting the studio’s efforts.

Amazon currently has a $10.66 coupon for this set bringing the cost down to $39 and change. At that price I bought it.
I sent the info and I have emailed them 3 times asking for an update with no response. Glad to see I am not the only one.Has anyone actually received a correct replacement? I'm not sure they even exist yet.
I hope that those who are still interested in this Hitchcock 4K/UHD set are not being detoured by an honest mistake that’s now being rectified.
You are absolutely correct. As a matter of fact, I never even received my first round of “corrected” discs. Your own experience with this first round - inclusive of the loose mailer envelope - was one that heightened my own frustrations. But since that time, Universal has publicly acknowledged that second mess, as well.Actually, they *attempted* to rectify it, and screwed up. Again. AFAIK, there isn't a single person who requested a replacement Psycho 4K disc that received one with the correct original mono track. They were all sent the same defective disc. And that's where it stands today. We're all still waiting.
I'm not saying that people should avoid the set because if this, but technically we're all still in limbo. Some of us more than others.
Most likely nothing that most casual viewers would ever notice or really care about, but the original mono was promised by Universal and many fans were hoping to get it on this release. That has not happened (so far).So is the only problem with the collection is there is no original mono track with Psycho?
Is this really that bad, whats so wrong with the 5.1?
Well, with 429 posts, you have a lot of reading ahead of you.So is the only problem with the collection is there is no original mono track with Psycho?

I have not heard back from my request for replacement blu-ray disk. Has anyone who bought the blu-ray gotten a replacement disk?
I have the set and are very happy with it.
I almost always listen to the original mix but out of curiosity, I listened to the 5.1 mix on Psycho. It's not bad (the score being the highlight to my ears as well) but the changed sound effects stick out too much to me so I'll keep listening to the mono once the corrected discs come out.I feel I shouldn't be saying this ,but, hell, I like the 5.1 track.!!!!!
Sure it is not" authentic" but it's a great way to enjoy Herrmann's incredible score.
