The Wire S1-5 Complete Box Set (1 Viewer)

[Gambra]

Some sweet packaging. 24 discs in all. £88 on Amazon. But does anyone know if there's anything xtra in the set than if you have all 5 seasons individually anyway? The press releases mentions this: "all 60 episodes re-mastered on 24 discs" so maybe the quality is better?

 

[Stonie McHash]

Think I looked at it a while back and the extras didn't seem worth it. If you ain't got them on DVD already then probably get it.

that's the $140 US version I think

It's bizarre to hear his real accent! Well-spoken fellow.

So do either the R1 or the R2 sets have anything extra? The extras listed on on Play & Amazon are the same that's already on the individual sets.

From what I gather, they're exactly the same content wise.

R1 has fancy packaging and the R2 is the regular sets stuck in a bigger box

Heard Stringer in real life there as well. London accent. Mad altogether.

He's in RocknRolla pulling the same.

My brother wants my sister to yell "Show us your wire!" at him

She is demurring.

a friend of mine tweeted that she saw Sting on Grafton St at lunchtime. She walked down Baggot St a couple of minutes later and Aiden Gillen cycled by.

We were talking about Sting's beard in work today and one of my colleagues was a bit upset that he'd mask his (apparently) lovely face. She was also surprised that his hair was receding so I asked her when was the last time she saw him.
"2013."
"Oh did you see him in concert or what?"
"No, on youtube."
