Amazon Deal of Day - The Wire

[fatediesel]

The complete series of The Wire is the Amazon.com deal of the day for $81.99. I highly recommend this show, especially at this price for all 5 seasons. I'd prefer it on Blu-ray but don't know if that will happen since it wasn't shot in widescreen.

it was on HBO hd so it must have been shot widescreen.

It was shown 4:3 on HBO HD, meaning it had the black bars going vertical on the sides.

No, HD doesn't necessarily always mean widescreen. Plenty of Blu-ray releases for example have been 4:3.
The Wire was shot in 4:3 because the creators believe it gives the show a "claustrophobic" effect.

What other HBO series did they have this week? I only saw Band of Brothers and The Wire

Yesterday was "The Extras", I hope they put both Sopranos seasons 6.1 and 6.2 blurays on sale for under 50. That would be sweet.

My guess is tomorrow is either the complete series of Sex and the City or The Sopranos on dvd. If they did a good deal on the Sopranos season 6 Blu-rays I'd consider picking them up.

Exactly what I'm hoping for - I held off on buying them when they were about $35 per volume. Here's hoping...
