Pre-Scratched Halo 3 Discs

[Demon_Skeith]

Reports are coming in (both across the internet and directly to TheFeed) that some of the Halo 3 Collectors Discs are coming pre-scratched due to packaging issues. Most seem to affect the "extras" disc, and all reports thus far have indicated that the scratches were not deep enough to make the discs unplayable. The photo below is from NeoGAF, where you can find a bit more information.

The regular edition seems to unaffected (this uses standard Xbox game packaging).

TheFeed suggests that you check your discs in the store, so that if there's a problem, you can handle it quickly and easily. Don't panic, M'Soft made a bajillion of these discs so it shouldn't be a problem to swap them out if there are indeed widespread issues.

so they should, bad packaging can hardly be the customers fault, if i paid out all that money i would want discs that were in perfect condition

This morning, Microsoft vowed to replace the broken games, for free, until the end of the year.

"This program covers the Halo 3 Limited Edition Game Disc and Essentials Disc at no charge through 12/31/07.

I heard about this on other sites, but luckily none of my friends seemed to be affected by this. Most of them have already beat campaign mode.

Damn Halo freaks....
