Before I bought this i read the reviews on how bad the set was, stupid of me to go and buy this box set anyway instead of just buying each season individually. When the box set finally came I took one dvd out to see it had minor scratches, ignoring this I put the dvd in the player only for it to tell me it was unable to read the disc. I tried the other ones only to find out that they won't play either. Now Im pissed because I really like this show and bought it to watch but it is obvious that HBO doesn't give a F about The Wire or you because they would have put these dvd's in a normal dvd case instead of a piece of construction paper.
