Though Eric Szmanda's Greg Sanders began working on the field during season 5, his image was not added to the cover. The CSI season 4 DVD box set has a tentative release date of November 18th, 2005, according to TVShowsOnDVD.

The cover art for CSI: Miami was also revealed this week. The third season DVD cover art features a close up of front-man Horatio Caine, with his CSI team in the background. Jonathan Togo (Ryan Wolfe) has been added to the art while Rory Cochrane (Tim Speedle) was taken out, despite his appearance in "Lost Son." A release date for the DVD has yet to be set by Paramount, but judging from the release date of the complete second season, which hit stores on January of this year, fans may have to wait a few days after new year to get their hands on this set.

And on the subject of releases, the release date of the complete first season of CSI: New York has changed yet again. The DVD set was originally supposed to hit stores in September, was later pushed back to October 25th, but was recently re-scheduled again for October 18th. The first New York set includes 7 discs containing all 23 episodes of the series, plus the Miami/New York crossover "MIA/NYC � NonStop," the actors' take on their characters, a set tour, a behind-the-scenes look, and more. Fans can already pre-order this DVD set from Amazon.com, which will apparently sell it for $55.99.
