This happened to about 25 people that checked the disk before leaving the launch party I was at. Luckily my legendary edition was completely fine, as was the collectors edition of my friends.

If you buy at Gamestop/EB they will usually watch you open it to make sure it is not damaged.

it was the disc replacement form they had a link to…I exchanged it at the store I bought it from without hassle…it’s just bad design on their part…especially for a flagship title like Halo 3…

MS Admits Halo 3 Scratched Disc Problem - Free Replacements.

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.

Dunno why you have to pay anything…

…lol…in all fairness the guy on the phone was very apologetic and said just exchange it with the place you bought it from…but still…with all these mistakes they’ve made…Microsoft should stop playing baseball cause they seem to keep dropping the dam ball!

I’m currently on hold w/ Microsoft…I’m one w/ a scratched disc as well…even the front of the metal case is scratched and they covered it up w/ black marker! Xbox’s website has a replacement program already in place for the limited edition Halo 3s and it looks like they want $23 Canadian to replace it! What a terrible track record they’ve had since the whole red rings of death incidents…

You will have to take it back, this is a KNOWN problem, which is why I will open mine at the store, and see, IF I get the LTD edition.
