The Wire: Complete Seasons 1-5 - Blu-ray Forum

rapta · 02-10-2015, 05:12 PM

Just saw this listing on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wire-Complet...dp/B00TFANQYS/

So I'm assuming we're getting the new 'remastered' versions that debuted in the US recently?

I had better start saving now.

I think I'm gonna wait it out before I think about upgrading...and get the last couple of seasons of Treme in the meantime.

Fantastic news. Something to pick up in the Christmas sales, perhaps.

David LFC · 02-11-2015, 03:02 PM

Roll on the first of June!!!

This is my favourite series of all time and yes I do want it on Blu ray but I'll be waiting for it to drop in price before I pull the trigger on this.

Breaking Bad is around £50 mark now, so envisage this doing a similar thing after a while.

I feel completely the same way.

NoFro · 02-11-2015, 10:12 PM

JUNE 1ST!!!!???

I was really expecting this to be one of those summer releases that comes out on the 28th of August or something. Awesome that it will be released about as early into the summer as possible.

Day 1. It's going to be great.

Base it not far off that already, and the difference between that and Amazon means we may see some traction early on

There is a fascinating article about the process of creating a widescreen and HD version of The Wire on David Simon's blog.

samdaman94 · 02-12-2015, 01:37 PM

I have been waiting a long time for this release - I've been saving watching the show for it! I can tell I'm in for a treat.

rapta · 02-12-2015, 02:18 PM

Pre-order up on Base.com for £79.99 it seems...

I've never seen it either, so am really looking forward to it!

levcore · 02-13-2015, 12:21 PM

I tried so hard to get into this show but i couldn't. despite trying to concentrate, half the time i had no idea what anybody was saying and what was going on. I don't speak 'ghetto' so a lot of it was very difficult for me to follow. I didn't really think much of the characters either. I hate to use the term overrated, but if i was to say a show was, it would be this.

Blu-FutureUK · 02-13-2015, 01:56 PM

I too haven't seen this but from what i've read I don't think I will like it. There are no guns being fired (seems strange for a cop show), no car chases, it's all talk.
