Japanese UFO Blu-ray details in English

Hi all,

Since all of the descriptive pages for the upcoming
Japanese UFO Blu-ray discs are (naturally) in Japanese,
I created an English version here:

  http://ufoseries.com/videos/bj

I'll add to this as more information becomes known.

They will, it's just a queston of time... And different packaging (shudder, thinking of A&E creations)

All the best,
Branko

Hi Marc,

I dont think that the remastering from the CO negs was done in the US, ITV wouldnt ship them overseas for that, I believe that it was done at the TCS UK facility in Middlesex.

Cheers,

Ole

Yes, that does sound strange that they would ship the negatives to the USA...
I was just going by what the manufacturers website says.

Anyway, the release of these Blu-ray discs is now 8 days away!

Well, of course, when you compare it to the prices of typical
Blu-ray releases in the UK or USA.  

But this is a Japanese release, and I think Japanese releases
are in general more expensive.

After all, I recall paying US$1000 for the complete series
of UFO on Japanese laserdisc back in the early 1990s.
So in comparison to that, these Blu-ray discs are a bargain.  :-)

Dear Marc,
Consider your 1000$ for LDs a bargain, compared to what some people I know paid ;)

All the best,
Branko

Well, I bought them when they first came out, so I think US$500 was
the retail price, when you considered the current exchange
rates and shipping costs from Japan.

But yes, before the UFO DVDs came out, these laserdiscs were selling
for even more money than that!  Although you can probably get them
for much less money today... :-)

I broke out my Japanese import LD’s  Most movies are in the $35 to $40 range.

Star Wars The Phantom Menace listed for $109 bought on sale for $99 (never opened, btw)
Godzilla vs King Ghidorah  $100
Song of the South $65
Disney short Cartoon (don’t read Japanese, not sure of the american title.  $63, but has a 50% sticker, I don’t remember if I paid $31 and change or $63 was the 1/2 off price.
