I've been keeping an eye out for the past few months, and there have been no real "deals" on The Wire. The best prices have been in the $30 per season range, which isn't bad, but isn't a steal. Barnes & Noble would likely be the best option, when a season is priced around $40-$45 for members, and you can use one of the 25% off coupons, it brings it down to be pretty reasonable. Not much else unfortunately, but these seasons generally go on sale at Best Buy once or twice a year.

I'd be willing to bet that HBO will release a Series set (in the vein of S&TC and Six Feet Under). If you've waited this long (as I have), you'd probably be best holding out for the Wire Mega-Box.

Best buy had a 50% off all HBO 3-6 months ago. That was still a bit expensive as I believe they were still over $30 a set. Ive been watching the prices on these sets for like 2 years now. If they drop the price to the low 20s for this series and the Sopranos I may finally jump at em.

I was able to get all 4 seasons for $25 each at Circuit City and Best Buy (Dallas area). All from viewing this website. This was about 6 to 9 months ago though. You have got to keep an eye out though and check this site at least twice a week. The $25 dollar sets were like an unadvertised sale that someone posted about that seemed to go unnoticed because there were few responses to that thread. Good hunting!

I too got the 25 per seson from BB, however I had ordered them in early November and was told it was on backorder. I was also advised that I could go to the local store and pick it up. The store refused to honor the price. I went back to the phone and was told that this was a special boxed set, not just the four seasons and would have to wait. After monthly calls and/or emails and several required "Tell us if you still want this or we will cancel" I finally received the four seasons (individual seasons held together with Scotch Tape) in April. This was the last time I am going to deal with BB.

With shipping, season 4 is right under $40 from amazon.ca. Not a stellar deal, but I went ahead and ordered. I grabbed seasons 1-3 for $19.99 from Best Buy, back during the Christmas season.
