Games nowaday has so much tutorials that you never need to look in the manual. So I can see why they would stop making them.

I got shocked when I looked into the box of Lollipop Chainsaw and didn't find a manual. All I found was a bunch of CD-keys for costumes and a two page folder about the mandatory X360 stuff.

MK9, Gears 3 and Lollipop Chainsaw are that I can remember. Such BS. Games should be cheaper then (seeing how most of it locked anyway).

Pretty sure Lollipop Chainsaw WAS cheaper, wasn't it?

Yeah. It was. How odd.

Yeah it was. I guess then it's OK and I do love Suda 51. But when you full price or more for game like Gears to get a folded A4(ish) sheet that's just lazy.

On the flip side, I get annoyed at the hawking of "special editions" which, basically are in a nicer box and include a manual plus maybe some concept art. In itself, that's fine if that's what you're after, but the price difference is usually shocking.
