Are the backs to most of these steelbooks the kind where the back is on paper and removable or are they attached to and/or part of the actual case?

A lot of the inexpensive German SteelBooks I have purchased have had the backs printed onto the SteelBook with no info card. I would assume this lot is the same. Not 100% sure but that would be my guess.

Okay thanks. I'm a stickler for either English writing or just the picture only on the back. That's too bad (for me) because I would love to get some of these...

I can't complain. Like I said I only watched Robocop and we all know that is not reference type material.

Cool. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on something newer.

Until I figure out why the remote is not being recognized all the time I will be keeping it set to region B so I do not have to go through that hassle again. I guess I could check out a region free movie tonight and let everyone know.

One thing I will say is I like this a lot better than the Pioneer one I bought from Bpombay electronics and the Seiki is only $59.99 compared to the $225 Bombay wanted for the Pio.

Understood.

I picked up the Insignia BRDVD4 and I was a little worried.

At first it would not read anything.

Then I re-did the firmware.

I put in my only Region B disc and nothing recongnized.

I then put in a region free. It read it. When I put back in the Region B it then read it. I am still wary and worried as I have no other region B discs to try

I thank you....but my bank account doesn't. In for all 5 Fast & Furious movies. They're Universal so should be Region Free, right?

Look at other websites for region info. Never trust amazon region Info. Universal is always region free, also Fast Five German release doesn't come with the unrated/extended edition, if I recall correctly :'(

Thanks for the Heads up! Good job I already own the US version. Doubt I'd have got much for selling it anyhow. Maybe I'll just sell the slip cover and keep the discs.

I got the first three a couple months but still need to get the last two. It just sucks that they have printed backs and no inside artwork.

I'm not too worried about inside artwork. I'm a dab hand at putting in my own. Plenty of practice with my BBY steelbooks. Plus, I get to pick the artwork I want and make them 1 of a kind.

Yeah, I have not dabbled in that yet. With my OCD I would have to do the spine and I know that can be a little tricky. Plus, I do not have the printer or know how to make the inserts.
