as long as they aren’t deep scratches, it shouldn’t be a big issue. If they are mild like somewhat put it, there shouldn’t be an issue.. you can probably buff out the scratches easily.

I can verify this. I bought mine at Wallmart at midnight (I was third in line) and both discs were scratched and loose in the box. They were all scratched up. I took them back to Wallmart, but they said they couldn’t refund me because of the anti-piracy laws. They swapped my copy with five other copies, which all had scratches on both discs. They were shaking the cases to hear if they were loose before they opened them. They all rattled. I ended up taking home scratched discs. I hope Microsoft replaces these! If anyone has info about how we can get these replaced, please post it here! I also wanted to point out that everyone else there was unsuccessfully trying to bring back their Halo 3 Limited Edition discs too. I am just glad that I didn’t live more than 30min away from the store.

Mild scratches on mine and my 2 friends copies, but they all seem to work fine…

Looking at that picture it looks fairly easy to fix those light scratches with a Skip DR disc repair system or similar. Mine usually fixes things like that.

The only problem with the idea of ‘return it.’ is that you’re assuming the store has an endless stock, while in the situation of gamestop, they only have x number because x number preordered it.

demand a new one, it doesn’t mean you’ll get it.
limited stock.

Return the damn thing. If my Halo 3 disk is scratched there will be violence. I have ordered the basic copy, no fancy multidisk or helmet edition. If i hear a rattle in the box before i crack the seal, ill demand a new one.

I defently can see anyone forking over the cash for a premimum edition of Halo 3 and getting a scratched disk loose it. They will ask questions with their fists. and get answers with some rioting.

After the long awaited game, something like this happens. I can see in my minds eye a riot outside the Microsoft offices…

Microsoft attempts to cut production costs by shipping shitty products, and keep higher profits…

let’s just hope this doesn’t turn out to be a massive problem with the release. I can honestly see violence breaking out at midnight over this.
