Not that it needed it, but I was a bit surprised that there is no instruction manual in the GOW Saga box. I think it has more to do with lack of space in the Blu-Ray box than anything else...

I think it's less a space issue as it is the move towards cost reduction. It's easier and cheaper to create a manual as file and install it on the game disc than to print them out and put them in the cases. Many games have begun to come that way, including Vita ones.

I'm pretty sure it is a space issue, since the other collections titles had manuals in them. That being said, I am sure going forward physical manuals will be less common...

You could very well be right. I just know that many EA published games have been coming with digital manuals like Mass Effect 3. Come to think of it, I think Darksiders II was the same way.  I presumed it was the same thing. Either way I think the digital manual's on it's way to becoming the norm rather than the exception.

I was particularly shocked when the latest Mortal Kombat game didn't come with a manual, you had to download it online or buy the strategy guide...
