For portables there is the problem of storage though, for the PS Vita you are going to need to buy expensive memory stick that can only hold a game or two, it really defeats the object of buying one really. Built-in memory would be too expensive and even if they did do that, you wouldn't be able to have that many games on there at once, 10 max.
Gears of War 1 and Resident Evil 4 (released '07) are the only ones that come to mind, there are a lot of games I wanted to get on PC that weren't on the list when I typed them in though, some of them are forgivable because they aren't from this generation but the others should be, can't recall them though.
I also wanted to buy Crysis 2 but I remember that got pulled, obviously a problem with EA. I'll check out "Good Old Games" anyway.
I think collecting manuals is a lot different, collection manuals is nowhere near on the same level as having a physical copy of a game, a lot of the manuals in the games I have bought this gen are large, I've never seen one with only a few pages.

Well, the memory sticks are only expensive because Sony makes them expensive. You can get a 32gig flash card for under $50 which is plenty of space, especially if you can redownload games as necessary or even store them locally on a computer.
What physical manuels have you seen that are large this gen? They're pretty rare now-a-days. I know for a fact publishers keep those as small as possible because it saves pennies on every copy sold (which adds up to a lot when you're talking millions of copies).
Is Gears of War Games for Windows Live (I ask only because I really don't know and I'm curious)? If so, are any of those on Steam?

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that, I don't know if SONY are being awkward or just plain greedy. Maybe it has something to do with read speed? Anyway, 32gb would be enough for a lot of games, very practical too.
The manuals in my games aren't that large or small, they are just as big as they were last generation for me, 50-ish pages of crap about menu's and control layout etc. Some have been a lot smaller than others though.
As for Gears of War, it probably is, I can't really check because I'm not sure how to. I guess the reason why Steam games are missing is because developers make their own downloadable service, or it ends up on Windows Live like you said.
