Yes it seems that way, Freemantle have really ballsed up the Prisoner release over here. Most hardcore fans like me have already bought the Aussie DVD's, as Freemantle took so long to decide if they were even realeasing it in the UK. The UK release is much better looking than the Aussie one though, just a shame Freemantle wouldn't allow Shock access to the proper master tapes like with the Best Of's. The image quality on these releases varies incredably, I'm on to episodes past 445 and the last one I watched looked positively VHSey! If the sales do well we might get the UNCUT Edna Pearson storyline here, the Aussie DVD's are all cut.
