I am looking for these manuals:
Final Fantasy X-2
Manhunt (PS2)
Mario Sunshine
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (GameCube)
Stretch Panic (PS2)
Anyone have them? I am willing to pay.
But I know there are some sites out there dedicated to order them, can you please list as many as you know? :cold:

I'm not sure of your motive to get them, but whenever I need to find manuals I just go to Replacementdocs.com. Works great if you're just using them for reference.

Otherwise I'd try eBay.

I have Mario sunshine and SC: Chaos theory, I'm not selling them but if you want me to I can scan them for you. I usually find loose manuals on eBay or BRE software: www.videogameinstructionbooklets.com/

I second this. I only use them for artwork/booklets I need. They've done a little revamping but it's a very very good place to find missing manuals/artwork

I see splinter cell for $3.29 on the website I posted but I guess they don't have mario sunshine... The search function on that site doesn't seem to be working right now :-k. Oh well, I have been buying from them for several years and I haven't had a problem with them yet.
Good luck!

How much does shipping cost on that site?
And I think Search doesn't work because we use FireFox.

The shipping was a bit high but if you really want those manuals...
I have three browsers installed I'll try it on one of the other ones and let you know. Nope the search function doesn't work on IE or Chrome either, they must have redesigned their site since the last time I used it and "broken" the search button.

Yeah, in my experience the search button has never worked. I always search manually.

I think that they also sell either on eBay or Amazon, I can't remember which one. Amazon and eBay are much easier to find stuff on anyway.

They sell on eBay.
Here is their link : http://myworld.ebay.com/bregamesmmcm3/
Remember, some of the prices and the stock they have on the eBay store may differ. Check both.
Edit: If you check their eBay stock, make sure you turn your volume down. Their disclaimer may cause you to go deaf.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately for Fire_Thief they don't list GC stuff anymore.
The disclaimer must be in flash since I didn't hear anything, I use Flashblock ;)

Nintendo sells manuals on the majority of the games they publish.

On the contrary I found :
Mario Sunshine:

Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory:

If these links send you to Bulk_Man's eBay page then they are broken. I don't know why...
If you buy from BRE, make SURE you get them to combine shipping.

Those links didn't lead to the manuals, try these:

Fixed my links. I don't know why they are busted. OldSchool77's links may be cheaper, but the manuals you get from BRE will be pristine.

Thanks for the help guys. This will be hard for me to drop almost $6 per manual. That's how much I paid for each game. >_<
Sigh.

I know what you mean about not willing to pay as much for the manual as you did for the game. Do what I did ...get complete copies from eBay and then sell or trade the incomplete copies on this website :lol:

wut? that's how much you paid for each game (WITHOUT the manual) right? anyhow, you should follow the above advice: get a complete game and sell the one you have now
