is the OOP 400 Blows exactly the same as the one in the box set?

no, it's much worse. http://207.136.67.23/film/dvdcompare/400blows-new.htm

try scrolling all the way down... they come up with a "verdict" as to which transfer is the best, which is obviously the new Criterion box set.  ye of little faith...

but did you see what Pubrick wrote above the second link?
"fox lorber has slightly better image than new criterion"
but that is comparing the original Criterion release.
i'll prob get the Fox Lorber because i just can't justify buying the whole boxset having only watched one film and i just don't want to spend that kind of money right now.

Fox Lorber does look better from where I see it too, but the guys at DVD Beaver who did the comparison know what to look for and I trust their judgement.  And, well, I love Truffaut, I love Criterion... insta-buy for me.  I blind bought it.  Still haven't gone through it though....
