What a joke. Manuals and maps are the reason I get retail copies. Call me old fashioned but manuals are integral part of any game. How much money will they save? A few cents. This tendency disgust me. I am really disappointed.

I think its not only about money, i should say i LOVE manual, but reallity check, this too kill tree for nothing, even if use used paper for make new paper, its still polutes.

But its just i see both ways, i hate digital, but when this come to not polutes its the best !

Please think about the poor trees. I have one on my park, and I wouldn't want it to be chopped down. They have a right to live. Try to be more comprehensive.

well seeing as how everything that's in a manual can be found in the game why not help save trees and not make something most people look at a couple times then put it away to never be seen again

i hate manuals, i hate cases.
the only reason i buy retail is, because i am able to resell it.

i hate all this plastic shit in my living room. i hate the dozens of cables you get every time you buy a electric device. how many usb charging cables do you have?

but i like maps.

Lol. Do you guys think the energy that allows us to run electrical devices are pollution free? This is how corporations are brainwashing people to justify their cause.

Come on, not even a manual with warnings or warrancy terms ?
That's weird, even EA includes some documentation in their published games.

Misleading thread title. Reported.

Every time I get a game I open the plastic wrap slowly (except games like uncharted 2 or gta v). I smell the box, smell the manuals and the glossy texture of a new disk is the feeling of ownership. Now I am a rare minority who wants manuals.

Man you have to think about the damn tree before you talk about something like this. My tree has feelings, I even talk to it. I am kinda like pocahontas though, only male. You ever talked with a tree? No? Well he tells me he is afraid to get cut and he actually likes the job of making O2.

Manuals have to die, it's the truth.
