The Shield complete series boxset?
Does anyone know if there's plans to release a complete series set for the shield? Will it be released when the seventh season dvd comes out?
|
Nothing's been announced.
Personally, I think a Complete Series set is very likely. But just watch it end up with all widescreen transfers of the show. -ohbfrank- |
The final episode is just happening, so I imagine they will release the entire season individually and then later on drop the entire series. Never seen the show, but just got my wife to get em Seasons 1 - 6 from Amazon for me for XMas.
|
I would guess that there will be a complete box set after the seventh season release. I don't think it will be anything special though. The individual sets are put together pretty well with deleted scenes, making of material, and commentaries.
|
I will be the first in line to pick this up when it does come out. Even though we already own 2 copies of most of the seasons.
|
If they do, they better release it in 4:3 ratio, as the last season and the re-releases of the previous seasons from Sony have been in a fubared 16:9, which is not how the show's creator intended.
|
I would probably pick this up at a discount price. Just got around to watching the last couple of episodes...they were amazing. It was a great and satisfying ending to a great show.
|
I'm sure we'll see it eventually -- and when we do, I'll probably pick it up.

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
ehhhh. Been keeping up with this series as it was released. The specs listed for the R2 release, dont really make me feel a need to get this set. We will see what the final US specs are.

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
I understand they re-released seasons 1-6 (or 5?) in widescreen sets, but isn't the OAR 4:3? Why did they put them out in widescreen?

The OAR isn't 4:3 (there's more information in the 16:9 versions) but 4:3 is the way they are meant to be shown. Sony and FX just don't care, because the general public has HDTVs now and they want their programming to fill that big screen up. -ohbfrank-
I always kind of figured the way something was meant to be shown was the OAR. I mean lots of movies are/were filmed open-matte FS, but that doesn't make 4:3 the OAR if they were intended to be matted when shown, right? |

So is there now an OAR and IAR (Intended Aspect Ratio) in the lexicon of the movie world? Or was it always there and I didn't know about it?

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
The sad thing is that Shawn Ryan touted the 16:9 aspect ratio as a selling point in an interview with IGN.

*shrug* Maybe DVD Talk needs to have Shawn Ryan do an interview. :) They film in 1.78:1, but he has stated that 4:3 is how the show is intended to be viewed.
I still haven't bought the final two seasons because of this. I may give in for a box set, though. Tough call... |

Just in time for DD's semi-annual sale. No AR info, though I'm expecting widescreen. |
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
I like the show more than what the OAR is. All in for the complete set!
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
I'll actually be happy if it's widescreen--only because it will lessen the burn-in on my plasma.

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
It's a year-old dynex (samsung guts, but still cheap-o), and I've actually been watching The Shield this weekend. The lines on the screen go away, but it takes a while.
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
That's image-retention, and not burn-in (retention being temporary, and burn-in being permanent). But you still shouldn't be getting much retention. Do you have your contrast setting turned really high?
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Not really. I tweaked the settings, keeping the contrast and brightness on the low end. But I was watching practically a whole season on Saturday, so there was a pretty long exposure time for the TV to "bounce back" from.
Spoiler:

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Ugh. It's a book. Scratch city.
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Yeah, I learned my lesson with The Sopranos Complete Series. I hate book packaging. Pass.
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
sounds good to me, and it'll be prob under a hundred bucks by release time. (and i'll be the one to say that i prefer the widescreen framing)
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Neat. I never watched the Shield, but after hearing so many good things about the show, I've been waiting for this announcement so I can correct that problem.
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Depends on price. I held off buying season 7 because I figured they would release something like this. Looks like something I will def. Want.
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
im glad i never bought the dvds now. i wonder if theres gonna be a bluray release for this later on...
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
I could probably sell my 7 season sets and after sale pricing, this double dip won't feel so bad.

Just in time for DD's semi-annual sale. No AR info, though I'm expecting widescreen. Oh well. I've only got the first season, so I may bite with this one (unless I hear word that a Blu-Ray release and/or a 4:3 release is in the works). |
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Boy, am I glad someone brought this thread up BEFORE an actual announcement. Just a week or two ago I was in some store and saw cheap "Shield" and thought "Hey, maybe I should buy a season" and then remembered the potential for a Complete Series.
Looks like I'll be getting this instead. |
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
I have 1-5 in full and did not buy 6 & 7. So what I might do is grab the full series and give 1-5 wide to my brother and keep 6 & 7 with the complete set.
Or I can sell off my sets and go for this one. |
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Ive got teh fill frame sets, plus the ones that were only available in widescreen. That coupled with the book packaging makes me want to keep the ones I have and not worry about double dipping.
|
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Im not a fan of the packaging and like others, the potential for scratch city makes me not want to buy it.
Hopefully there will be some reviews beforehand addressing whether this is or isnt an issue. |
