After a long wait, The Wire: Complete Second Season DVD has finally arrived in Australia. What the hell was the hold up?! And why the complete absence of promotion? Advertisements for the first instalment of The Sopranos' final season on DVD were plastered up everywhere.
The Australian Nine Network aired this way back sometime in 2005 (or maybe it was 2004, but I doubt it), and after a long wait, the DVD finally came out down under, having came out in America two years prior though. However it is cheap compared to America. I got it at the Highpoint JB-HIFI for $49.95, but then I saw it for $56 at the Bourke Street store, so I guess it just depends. I'm kinda disappointed that it doesn't have the foil print packaging though, it looks so lame. And these new stupidly massive clasification warning labels are a joke, they throw these things in every conceivable place (this will be another rant). Channel 9 is about to air the season 3 finale of The Wire on Monday (in the graveyard hour of 12AM no less - Eddie needs to get his act together), but I wonder how long the DVD is going to take to reach our shores?
