Wow, The Wire's around again? Wonder if we'll see Six Feet Under and The Sopranos at some point soon then.

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!

What's different about it? I had no idea that there were two.

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

It's definitely a packaging reconfiguration. I'd never seen the previous box in person so I wasn't sure when mine arrived today but when I saw the "2010" in the legal indica I was pretty sure it was an updated version. I went to Amazon.com and looked at the customer images from the previous edition and it's not that big of a difference. The 5 seasons inside seem to be identical (and that's the element that people hated from the previous packaging) it's just the outer box that is different.

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.
