These types of annoyances are easy to correct, yet these mistakes are repeated over and over again. After packaging disasters such as Aliens Quadrilogy and T2 Extreme, seeing a high profile release such as M&C with another one of these annoyances makes some people shake their head with disbelief & disappointment.

Keepcases may be more durable and functional, but these digipacks probably move more product. I think that Alien Quadrilogy is probably remembered as a stellar example of DVD production rather than a "packaging disaster."

Most digi-pack box sets that have a "pouch", it's on the right most flap, which of course stay tight until you get to the second half of the season.

Can you name a set that has the booklet pouch on the right?

The norm is to have the pouch for the insert/booklet on the LEFT side, though, not the right. That's how nearly all digipaks work. It's the standard.

Not all digipaks have inserts or booklets.
And my X-Men 1.5 has the booklet on the left. Weird.
Sounds like Buena Vista (Disney, Miramax, etc.) put their sleeves on the right. I'll have to check through some when I get home.
Still, out of several hundred (perhaps thousand by this time) digipaks, only a small minority have pouches that are not on the left and don't have a bottom to them.

Wow, that is weird about X-Men 1.5. I went and checked again to make sure i wasn't out of it when i looked through my DVDs, but yup, mine is on the right. It doesn't look like much of a pattern... Roger Rabbit and Jackie Brown were both on the left side (friend has Pulp Fiction, i forget which side that's on) while Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are righties. Fox has Fight Club and ID4 on the left but also has 'Mary' and X-Men on the right. Shrug.
