Quite difficult, the J card is actually paper so you have to be careful and the glue is quite strong.

i hate when the glue crap onto the steelbooks i mean the things are strink wraped the stupid stuff isn't going no where. the metal pak of john carter from futureshop had the stupid digtial copy glued to the back of the steelbook inside a paper selve. i mean really why did they glue it to the back they could have just put the thing inside the case lol.

Also received my copy from HMV this morning, the glue sticking the J-Card on is very tough to pull off!

Pics included.

Thanks for the pics! Looks great, I'm going to have to pick that up.

I just got my copy through the post today too

Thanks for the heads up about the strong glue on the J card side. Will take a bit more care when opening as i like to keep the J card about for future use.

Noob question, but why is it called a J card? I been thinking up of words that might be relevant to them giving information etc but can't think of anything other than 'Joke' for the J

I assume..so could be wrong...that J card just means its (usually) J shaped covering the back and wraps around to either the top or bottom of the front with the ratings logos, bluray banner etc on...I suppose going by that logic the one on the King of new york is a C card lol...and the ones on the recent Play.com Fox exclusives are a mini slipcover...

I just call it an info sheet regardless of its shape

Because the card "wraps around" the SteelBook, many people (including myself) are calling them Taco Cards also

Spartan21 · 06-26-2012, 12:54 AM

Is it Region B locked or will it also play Region A? I'd really like to get this but I don't have a region-free Blu-ray player. Thanks for the response guys!

Neutron82 · 06-26-2012, 01:05 AM

i'm on the fence about this one... i love the movie but i'm not totally sold on the artwork, not yet anyway haha... does anyone know if the transfer is any better than the u.s. version because if it is then i wouldn't mind upgrading

I'd like to know this too...and if it's strictly Region B locked and cannot be played on my Region A PS3.
