The heat is on in Baltimore. The drug war is being lost, bodies are piling up, and a desperate mayor wants the tide turned before the election. But the police department hasn't got any answers. With the demolition of the Franklin Terrace towers, Stringer Bell and the Barksdale crew have been forced to improvise. But no matter how hard McNulty and the detail try, the dealers always seem to be one step ahead of the game.
After teasing us for
over a year, HBO has finally set a date for the third season of
The Wire. We can expect the 5-disc set to be released on
August 8, for a suggested price of $99.98. HBO is also lowering the price of the first two seasons to $59.99 each on June 6, giving fans that held off purchasing the sets a chance to get them at a reduced price before picking up season 3. The episodes will be presented in Full Frame (1.33:1), and contain English Dolby Digital 5.1 and Stereo tracks, and Stereo Surround tracks in English, French and Spanish. We've heard that season 4 will air sometime in September.
