my other half loves this show (along with the WIRE) got him both of them for his birthday... ... can't say much about the actual dvd set as I only got it for the Digital HD viewing. I don't have a blue ray player and all the regular DVDs for this was ridiculously higher than that of Blueray... We stream everything thru my tv anyway so I took a chance and did the HD sign up through Vudu... it worked flawlessly (I tried a different movie with a digital code before I purchased this one to make sure I knew how to do it first) ... .I can't see taking dvds out after a couple shows and putting another one in... It seems as though it will eventually be all digital soon enough as all computers and laptops are coming without dvd slots... We already netflix... so what is the difference? .. it is just being spoiled with the on-line streaming... so It continues with this as well!! Plus.. he can watch it on his phone when he's on van going to work with Vudu app.
