well i got a P3 and the manuals werent wrapped in plastic or anything. i found the sticker floating around in the box by itself. if it definitely isnt in there, you might consider the idea that someone had it before you, sealed the box after opening it, and returned it claiming it was never opened. and they forgot to put the sticker back, or couldnt b/c they already peeled the back off. just an idea...its easy to seal a box back up, and retailers cant check to see if its been opened, b/c once they open it, it cant be resold again as a new item.
