Default Any good UK sites for viewing back covers of Blu-rays?

Are there any good UK sites for viewing the back covers of BDs? I'd love to hear of something similar to what dvdempire.com has in the US. I realize misprints happen but most of the time the info on a back cover tells you all you need to know. Region status, audio and subtitle options, etc. That's what I'm looking for, a good UK BD reference site.

Hi, Virgin Megastore / Zavvi used to, but since Zavvi was put into administration back at Christmas, their website has since been bought by TheHut, and I think they have removed the photo's of the back covers items. I'm not sure if they are all gone though, or whether they are just not adding them for new releases. Check it out at zavvi [dot] co [dot] uk. Alternatively, try eBay or Amazon with user-uploaded photos. If you are looking for any specific details let me know, and I will see if I can locate them.

Thanks for the info. I sent you a PM with a few discs I'm trying to find region coding and audio information for.

Anyone else know of a great UK site with back cover images? That or a UK site with reliable info on region coding and audio/subtitle options?

I'm aware of the liesinc.net site for region status but unfortunately it's missing a lot of discs that I'm interested in.

http://cdcovers.cc allows users to upload official, custom, and any region disks. It's the only site I've ever used for covers. I can't vouch for an extensive UK collection because I've never actually looked that closely, but I know that just recently while looking for a Blu Ray cover to "Hulk" that there was at least one other region included in the bunch. Check the sit out it may have some useful stuff.

What discs are you curious about? I've gone through a lot of UK imports and I don't bother to update the region code sites.

That was a good idea but a quick check of their site didn't yield results for the discs I'm looking for... probably because I'm trying to find out about new releases. I'll check them again later on though.

These for starters...

Feast (out on Monday)
The Grudge 3
Hush
Lesbian Vampire Killers
Near Dark (out on Monday)
Red Mist

It wasn't until I wanted to find the backcovers of UK discs via Google that I realized just how amazingly handy a site like DVDEmpire is. If only they had a UK division like Amazon does.

Well found out from The Limey that Near Dark is region locked. Any new info on the others?

Good thing I tried to help you out and never responded

But I don't have any of those, unfortunately.
