When an edition is only on the J Card that covers the top portion of the front do we include it or not?

Especially when we include the back of the J Card for steelbooks cause it contains the UPC Code and other data.

Yes, I believe so.  The rules state "If a DVD is packaged in a keep case, within a slipcase of some kind, scan the Cover Images from the outer slipcase."  I, as most do, consider the J-card to be a 'Slipcase of some kind'.  I had similar questions, but the general rule of thumb is that the images shoudl represent what you should see when purchasing it.

I read this as an edition is only mentioned on the J-card, should we include the edition, not should we scan the J-card. But it all comes back together in that we scan the J to represent what we see in stores. So, we see the edition in stores, it should be included IMO.

Ahh, you are correct.    I misread his post.

But yes, I agree if it's listed on the J-card then yes, it should be included.  Unless of course it uses media type like "Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Copy"

Standard editions can be from anywhere.
