There's not going to be any change form the previous editions. What we will get in this set are the discs previously released and similar ones of those as of yet unreleased.

I'm thinking that the differences in the Blus we've seen are simply because they are coming straight from the Lowry HD masters with little to no extra tinkering. The UE DVDs seemed to have many extra tweaks that were done to make the DVD image more impressive to standard consumers, much like the reasoning behind Edge enhancement and excessive over processing. The "fixes" are simply made by issuing the original files that did not have the extra meddling done on them. And the extra color timing changes are unlikely to be on the master.

What we certainly won't receive are lossless original audio tracks for every film, and images that accurately reflect the original films.

Especially the 60's era. After jumping into LD, I don't think MGM/Fox will ever be able to accurately replicate that original Technicolor brilliance.Use VLC's adjustments on the earlier UE titles and just raise the saturation a bit. Much of the color has been drained and it's really obvious on You Only Live Twice.

I'll wait for the individual releases to grab 1-20 because there might be some way to salvage the films with editing. I certainly won't ever buy a boxset that forces me to pay for the Craig films. Never.
