I don't think I've open an instruction manual since the days of the NES.

Haha good one.
I often read the manual before even turning on the game.

Im weird cause I love color instruction books. I think they should be in color and hate it when there not. I would never not buy a game cause its wasnt, but it make the "experience" that much better when the manual can help bring you into that games world (ex.. God of Wars book) SAD????...... Probably

Also, best instruction manual goes to Wario Ware. STICKERS!
well for their cube stuff it's in full colour....my Resident Evil 4 import had two manuals....1 in english and one in french (Importmadness) and the manual looks great.
So it's more a fact of Capcom not wanting to spend on the PS2 cos they seemingly don't like it....than them being cheap. heh
Most of us only casually only look at instruction manuals but that's not that point here. It's about presentation and what it psychologically brings to the consumer. Don't you think you deserve the full package when you spend $40-50 a pop? Surely that can cover the amount to include color papers. If the company goes cheap, then so should the consumer. Do you find b&w manuals acceptable when games become $60?

I never understood how seriously boxart and instruction books are taken here... but then again, a lot of posters spend way more time talking about games than ever playing them. :lol From my experience, it's more of a treat these days getting manuals in color. I don't remember how often manuals were in color back in the NES days. Does anyone?

Mega Man 2 and 3 had color manuals, that much I know.

Almost all of Sega's manuals for the GC are black and white. I think the Sonic games might be the only exception. There are some other companies that use black and white as well, so I don't think it's a requirement for publishing a GC game. Again, this is why I find the Capcom situation strange.

I was going to give you an answer, so I went to my shelf and discovered that the only PAL games I have are FFVII and RRV and that RRV didn't come with a manual (used), so it wouldn't be much of a cross section
All my US games are b/w and all my JP games are colour. Never thought about that before.Actually, I also have Legend Of Zelda collector's edition for GC, which is in b/w, but since it's not a real release that is understandable.
I just got darkstalkers it's not that bad, the cover of the instructions is in color and the instruction is pretty meaty. It's got a overpowering nasty smell to it probably the cheap ink.
This is my first time I have ever seen the UMD, when I took it out of the case my thumb went into the back and touched the disc. =( It's an odd placement for the hole in the back I bet a lot of people are going to have fingerprints on their discs.
I also got Twisted metal: Head on, and Wipeout Pure. This is the first weekend I wish wouldend would end quickly, in a long time.
