Alot of Steelbooks have this.. annoying, since I find the running time pretty important information and then it is often not repeated somewhere else. Especially when they have those cardboard pieces which you over the Steelbook which are just perfect.

But if the cardboard isn't useable, I just throw it away and search for the running time on Blu-ray.com beforehand. Odd that I have to use a site for such mundane information but the hassle of a cardboard piece which constantly slides off isn't worth it for me.

You have to look through the whole review on here usually and have the edition that people bothered to write info for. Looking up a piece of paper near a movie collection seems less troublesome for me.

It is, but if that paper constantly shifts when I pick the blu-ray or another blu-ray and I have to constantly place it back on the Steel, I get annoyed by it and the flimsy way it looks. Why they don't just op for those carboards which you can slide over the steel like with the Taken Play, Drive HMV one etc. is beyond me.

For runtime I either look on the disc itself (it's almost ALWAYS printed on there somewhere) or just boot it up on my PS3 and press select to see how long it is. It only takes a minute.

It's not on every disc or else I wouldn't be complaining . And it is faster to power my pc on so I can check multiple runtimes at once via my collection versus starting up a single blu every time.. both aren't convenient.

People still start-up their computers? Mine is on 24/7 baby! Also I think its still much more damn convenient to have a small stack of the cards near the TV.

I'm sorry but being new to this topic I just put them on my shells with the bluray, it's not a smart idea but I know where it is!

You mean stand by I hope, the noise would drive me insane when watching a movie/listening to music on my blu-ray player .

Don't have a proper place for the cardboards. Plus it would add extra clutter ..

I throw them out but I would prefer if the info was on the back like the best buy Jaws digibook.
The few other digi's I have,the slip has been binned but the Jaws release was a welcome bonus.
