It's coming!But strangely it's 16:9 after all...http://www.davidsimon.com/the-wire-hd-with-videos/No news on whether or not there'll be a 4:3 bluray version yet.

All these years later and still no sign. At least we're getting Twin Peaks soon :)

I hope you're right!

With Season 4 ever approaching (Spring? May?) there doesn't appear to have been any news of a HD release of the show :( I'm guessing it would have been announced by now if they were thinking of trying to take advantage of the new series? Shame!

Bah! I love the show so much that I really want to own a nice HD version of it. Very annoying :(

What with the new season around the corner, and the movie supposedly coming, you'd think there would be some news on a Bluray release for this fine, fine series. Or at least news of one. The closest I've found so far is this...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'm glad to hear this isn't commonplace. The store was branded Sam Goody, but the card was an FYE "Backstage Pass". The store was located in the Horton Plaza in San Diego. Here's the small print on my (very long) receipt: I'm SO glad I happened to notice it...

Hi everyone, I'm currently on holiday in the USA from the UK, and I popped into Sam Goody to see what they had on sale. I ended up spending $173 on Blurays and DVDs. That's the good part of the story :D The bad part is this: When I was the cashier, the girl asked me if I wanted a loyalty card. I...

No reviews yet? Surprised!

I think you've been misinformed. The director recut the film himself after showing the extended cut to his friend and mentor Terrence Malick: 'I showed the movie to Terry and he was appalled. He was like: "It's too long, there's too much voiceover, you've got to cut that...

Thanks for the info regarding Warner. A big shame. Not sure about your assertion that the disc was "unremarkable". Every review I've read from the time complains about these technical issues. These are artefacts, plain and simple. It's just as possible to get the same artefacts on a DVD, so why...

Just got my hands on this Bluray and I'm mightily disappointed in the video. There's compressions artefacts everywhere :( It's so distracting. I've never seen this on a Bluray before and I naively picked it up thinking problems with transfers were a thing on DVD past. During the first...

Lol. Very true... perhaps someone should create a video of that! :)

You should not be laughing at the aliens in an alien movie. Lol. Something was really wrong with the film when the audience did that.

I've heard other people complaining about the boxing... but there's a ton other things that came before it. The real "WTF" moment is when they all started singing Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix... I can only imagine that some folk aren't as aware of that famous song. If people aren't bothered about that...
