    xbox 360 MS admits Halo 3 scratched disc problem

    via Computer and Video Games


    Microsoft has admitted there's a problem with Halo 3's Limited Edition packaging scratching game discs, and is now offering replacements via the Xbox website.

    The problem is blamed on the plastic and foam nub in the LE tin designed to hold the discs; it turns out plenty of gamers - including CVG - are opening their copies of Halo to find the discs loose and scratched.

    Microsoft's replacement program lets those unfortunate few download and complete a form to get a working copy for free, with a minimum wait of two weeks. Other games are covered by the program, but you'll have to pay £10 for anything that isn't Halo.

    You can get ahold of the form yourself here.

    I agree. I would have bought it if it came with a grunt figurine that said "They're everywhere!" when you pull a string though.

    im buying the limited edition tomorrow from a friend. i hope it aint scrached.

    the reason he is selling it is because he bought it and doesnt have an xbox and dont have a job to get an xbox for a while. i dont know why but at least i can get a copy i didnt have the money to preorder it. im not even paying him till friday when i get payed.

    Well I picked up a Legendary Edition and it works great! BTW I've really enjoyed the game and all the cool stuff that came with the Legendary Edition!

    Yeah people are having this problem lately; that's why I bought the regular edition and will not buy the so called "Limited Editions" of games till they do something to fix this issue.
