Part of what makes Criterion Collection films so valuable, aside from the company’s commitment to the best transfers and special features, is that some times a title will go out of print which makes the film more valuable, both in price and in lording your copy over people that didn’t get one.
“The Third Man” was one of the first Blu-ray titles released when Criterion began their foray into the format on December 18, 2008. Now “The Third Man” is the first title of the Blu-ray line to go out of print which means the only ones left are those that have already been shipped to retailers. If you want to get one, now’s the time as the price will most likely rise among eBay and Amazon sellers in the coming months. I just picked up my copy online from Barnes & Noble for $34.55 (including shipping) which, after searching online, was the best deal I could find. [Thanks to Blu-ray.com for the heads-up]

Does this mean the DVD will also go out of print?

Yes, they’ve lost the rights to the film.
I think I got my Third Man BD for under $20 when it first came out, and was still able to sell the DVD release to cut the cost. I still need to get a plastic case from Criterion for this film, but I think it’s shady that they’re charging after putting them out in the crappy cardboard cases.
