Sad news: The Criterion Collection website is now listing the The Complete Mr. Arkadin box set as "Out of Print."

Can't believe it was released almost 15 years ago so i hope next year Criterion will re-release it on Blu-ray with a fresh new transfer along with The Trial.

That might actually be good news down the road. It could mean Criterion lost the rights to it, but it could also mean that an upgrade is eventually coming - including new scans and available on both Blu-ray and DVD.

As of now the Criterion Channel is showing Confidential Report and Mr. Arkadin in the Comprehensive and Corinth versions.
I may never buy another DVD.

Looks like the Corinth version has been uploaded to Archive.org. Looks quite good too:
