Early Halo 3 Limited Edition Owners Plagued by Scratched Discs

Unlike the regular Xbox 360 green game boxes, the Halo 3 Limited Edition ships in a black tin box with center hubs too shallow to adequately hold the DVDs in place. As a result, consumers may find discs that have been freely floating around inside the box that have been scratched up by the very hub that was supposed to keep it in place.

Wouldn't that make your day "yay halo 3 baby".... "dam scratched dics"

I would care less about the limited edition. I want the game, not the fancy instruction booklet. Or whatever is included.

lancec2c30 · 09-23-2007, 10:17 PM

Ya, limited edition is only a fancy case.

What were the ones I heard, that came with a Master Chief helmet?

Invisible · 09-23-2007, 10:38 PM

It'll go well with the optimus prime helmets they already own.

The helmet only comes with the over-priced and profit grabbing legendary edition, and the helmet is way too small to be able to wear, only a cat would probably fit it. If I do in fact get the collectors edition, I'll probably open it up right at the store in front of them and check the disk.

Lol, I know so many people who got that edition. I cant wait till tommorow night or wednesday to find out they got some scratched discs.

Not to flame or anything but I went by the local gamestop to see already people waiting around even though you cant till 9pm. Guess they let it go since if they tried to stop people they would go tourched. But anyway I dont see why some people go crazy over it. Its a good game and all but I must be missing something. Maybe its the fact I grew up with a mouse and keyboard rather than a controller and suck at console fps's? lol

I had friends who thought the helmet was big enough to wear.
