Request to all reviewers re: Product Images

[smmab]

Because I live in Australia, while reading reviews, I may have to wait for fuller feedback from purchasers in order to establish what region code,other than A, a Blu-ray release might be. A very simple solution to this dilema would be if all reviewers placed an image of the back cover of the packaging, as well as the front cover, to accompany their reviews. Then everone can see for themselves what the specific region codes are, and can subsequently make a purchase with confidance. Many thanks.

There are a couple issues with this. Many reviewers are just sent screener discs, and not the actual packaging themselves. Secondly, many releases may be region free (or region B friendly) but say Region A on the back by default.

Not every reviewer has the ability to test region coding. You'd either have to have a player that can play multiple regions, or a BD drive.
