Re: AMAZON DOTD 12/23/2010 -- The WIRE - Complete Series ---> 74.99
Interestingly enough, there are 2 versions of The Wire - Complete Series available on Amazon.com. There is the original version and then there is a newer version (released Nov 10, 2010) - anybody know if there is a difference? According to the descriptions of each, they sound the same but I wonder?! Was it re-released merely because it was nearly OOP or why?

YEP...should have held out longer cause as we know they always go down in price sooner or later. Still I didn't pay too much more than this for it and glad to have this great series in my collection!

They probably just cheaped out on the packaging like with the new Deadwood individual season sets.

The previous one seems a lot sturdier but it has that awkward seam where the "lid" comes off on the side and the new one has a thin cardboard piece that slides off, the best way to imagine it is as like a big slipcover with the top and bottom open.
The new one looks better but when you actually open it you'll see how they skimped on it, but it's like they took the opportunity to skimp on the package and addressed a major design flaw from the original.

I might be wrong but is the new packaging smaller than the previous? I could swear I saw this someplace and it seemed bigger but I could be mistaken.
