Ron - I'm guessing this is in OAR and not fullscreen like the DVD versions I've seen locally? If so I'll definitely pick this up if I can find it at a good price. I have it DVR'd in HD but would love to have it on BD.

I haven't actually watched the DVDs but I'm nearly certain that they're widescreen.

Anyone pick this up?  Thinking of grabbing it since I'm huge on "The Wire" and their other shows.

Russell, I purchased this quite a while back and viewed it (sometime) last year.  My memories are vague at this point due to the passage of time; but I can tell you that I watched the entire series in relatively short order and enjoyed it quite a bit.  I would recommend the series for its narrative, the cast, and the ability of the series to immerse you in the war.

 

- Walter.
