Now im going to take it back in a few but any bet they will say.... it was sealed so you must of taken it , if they do im going to be so annoyed it wont even be funny.

    Meh, I got a paper manual with my copy (though this was a while back), but in all honesty if I bought a game and the disc was scratched it'd be going back for a new disc

    I bought the special edition... big colourful art book

    Register your game with cdprojekt and you get a load of PDF game guides... they're in colour

    Unless they can prove that your sealed copy had a manual then I think the law would still be with you on that one.

    I'd take it back and demand one with a manual anyway, unless there is a CD code elsewhere - you'll need the code for accessing special features like the extra adventures and toolset coming soon.

    Re: game is a joke?

    The CD code is missing. If you send CD Projekt an email they will tell you how to get it. Don't blame any of this on Game. It's all down to Atari.

    Actually the Atari ones without a manual come with a CD key on a piece of paper (and a Nightwish CD for some reason).

    Re: game is a joke?

    Those clear seals on the box can be placed on at the store. At EB and Gamestop they have a butt load of those seals. When you bring a pc game up to the counter the box is actually empty and they put the contents (game,manual etc) into the box then place a clear seal on the flap.

    I's very possible it was a return or an employee took it home to play or they just forgot to place everything back into the box....

    what the above poster said... though i'd raise issues with the scratched disc if i were you... no need to have it's life needlessly and senselessly shortened...

    Actually I bought one a few weeks ago and it came without any piece of paper. The whole run did according to the guys at CD Projekt.

    No. he just forgot the code I expect. Try replying and pointing out he forgot it. The other possibility is you got an older version that should come with manual (maybe returned because of the scratch), because the version without the manual should have a Nightwish CD. If you're in to Finnish Metal that may be a loss. The band seems to be more famous for their infighting than their music.

    Actually the tutorial system is pretty good, it adds descriptions/ instructions on most of the games features as Geralt picks them up and these can be accessed via the quest panel anytime you like. I would send that copy back and get a nice mint one with a manual... or get your money back and wait until the new version comes out with enhancements.
