I saw in another article that this will reduce their packaging costs by 40%. Better 4 the earth & they make more money so its a win-win. Now use the money u saved & make Mirror’s Edge 2 already!

In reply to doub7. no but if you know any careless people as I do, they end up ruining them anyways and eventually they have to be thrown out. But I agree they really are useless in this day and age.

good that they’ve decided to be a bit more eco friendly. hopefully this means that the size of game case will change. An audio CD and a PS3 Blu Ray disc are the same size and yet the case for movies and games are larger for no reason. It’s actually a hassle when you want to take a few with you somewhere.

In reply to doub7. Yeah... manuals are useless. But, it wasn't like people where just throwing away their manuals, I know I wasn't. Anyway, it's good to see them going green.

I applaud this decision. There is really no need for paper manuals in this day & age. Its just wasteful when most games have in game tutorials or manuals that can b accessed online. 1 in the game menu is even better. Hope other companies follow EA’s lead.
