Added a page with screen captures showing differences between the video quality on the Australia / UK / Japan UFO Blu-ray sets!

Also, please note that my comment earlier about the CONFETTI CHECK A-OK opening sequence still being there only applies for when you are ripping an episode from disc to a file. On a regular Blu-ray player, it skips over that (as it should).

OK, I've received my new Imprint UFO Blu-ray set! With regard to the new grading/fixes, I would say that this is mostly the same as the Japan/German Blu-rays, in that it does not have the excessive noise reduction or brightness or washed out colors that the UK set had. 18 of the episodes appear to be the same as the Japan/German set, while 8 of the episodes have some fixes. These fixes include things like corrected day-for-night scenes (so things look like night now instead of day), correcting bland/washed out/tinted colors, fixing the 16:9 aspect ratio error on ORDEAL, and adding sepia tint for THE LONG SLEEP. Oddly they did not remove the standard opening credits that should not be part of CONFETTI CHECK A-OK.

The updated episodes (compared to the Japan Blu-ray) are FLIGHT PATH, ORDEAL, THE CAT WITH TEN LIVES, THE SOUND OF SILENCE, THE PSYCHOBOMBS, REFLECTIONS IN THE WATER, TIMELASH, and THE LONG SLEEP.

If you are in the USA, the new Imprint UFO Blu-ray set is now in-stock at Orbit DVD! (now out of stock, but presumably will be back in stock at some point, and that's the cheapest price I've seen in the USA)

The music video for UFO from the Power Themes 90 album has now been redone in high definition!

I've seen some reports of Imprint UFO Blu-ray sets being delivered to customers in Australia, otherwise these are still in transit or haven't yet shipped. Initial comments indicate the picture quality is great and people are happy with the set!

It looks like my copy won't be arriving until April 30th, and then I can start updating my page on this.

I've just created a Facebook page for my UFO Series Home Page, which will be a way to see what's new on the site, and also cover any major UFO news. Sort of a "what's new" page but on Facebook.
