Oh dear. Let's hope customer feedback keeps them from doing this for very long. Hopefully it doesn't catch on.

i actually think that's a pretty good idea, most manuals nowadays are wholly unnecessary what with in-game tutorials and such. most manuals are pretty bare bones anymore.

But how will people find out how to put the game inside the console to read said manual?!

Thanks for the heads up. I will make a note to never buy any future Ubisoft games.

To be fair, this only applies to 360/ps3 games, apparently.
So feel free to support any Wii titles that might interest you (although isnt all ubi pumps out for the wii some incarnation of imagine - baby poniez? I don't know anymore)

terrible idea. i love printed media.

There wouldn't be a problem with people not reading the manuals if the developers and publishers would start actually spending more then 2 1/2 minutes designing them in the first place. I think this is a terrible idea, and yet another indication of a digital-only future.

I love how they spin it as an environmental thing, as if it's not all about cutting costs.
