Just wanted to take a minute to remind everyone that Season 3 of PRISON BREAK is out on DVD and BlueRay Disc on Tuesday August 12. I was a bit on the fence about Season 3, but watching it all back in succession on my TiVo put me on the “excited for what they do in Season 4” side of things. My good friend and editor over at The TV Addict is giving away a set – head over there and enter for your chance to win. Follow the read more link for the official press release about the DVD set!

NEW PRISON. NEW BREAK.
