Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL

[TheFlusher]

a bit later after I posted, I got them.

For some reasons, I checked recently just to see if they are still there, they are not there. Maybe Im lucky to get em at the right time?

[DrCheese]

The big legendary edition preorders were all sold out in the UK as far as I know, as for the collectors one I'm not sure but I'd guess so about the box

[gigapixels Veteran]

Hey guys, I've just noticed that Virgin Megastores have the Collectors Edition and Legendary Edition "deleted by supplier" yet my order still states "In Progress". Are they pulling orders because of the dodgy case or only have a limited supply?

My guess is it's from a limited supply since the Legendary Edition doesn't have problems with the case. It's only the Collector's Edition, so they wouldn't need to pull both if that was the reason.

[gigapixels Veteran]

They downloaded fine for me :D

The theme kicks ass.

[Veedems Veteran]

We had quite a few returns already because of scratched discs in the Collectors Edition. I was contemplating getting it, but decided to go with the basic version instead since there's no risk of issue there.

Halo 3 Swag Rebagging (Plus Apology)

Source and Video: Gizmodo

Ugh, why didn't you mention there was a major spoiler in that??

[Glorious]

Hungarian gaming site Gamekapocs is reporting that some Halo fans couldn't wait to get Halo 3 legally, so they broke in to a video game store-house to get their hands on it. They recorded the whole burglary, you can watch it below.

When they are in the store they can't decide to get only one piece per people or a whole box. One of them asks ironically: "Do you want get rich from this or what?". So they finally don't take the whole box.

The video ends with showing the thiefs playing Halo 3 and saying: "September 26th, you know. Sure."

The closing caption: "You owe us one. :p"

Pretty sad if you ask me, that is if this isn't fake - I mean what idiot films themself stealing a damn videogame and then uploads it to the Internet?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

4? :rofl:

I apologize.

No need to rip on the guy because he doesn't put the same amount of hours playing Halo as you dude..

[Nightz]

[rajputwarrior]

**** you scarab, where the hell is the core?

[Samboini]

You'd be surprised how many idiots there are out there.

[Windam]

Europe is amazing

I never heard anyone else as good as them..

It's such ashame my parents won't let me buy a 360 -_- I'm so envious right now I could yell

[Xeonic]

Yeah, to add to the scratched disk point...I work for Best Buy, we have had a number of exchanges already. Hell, when I bought mine, I opened it before I left the store...and yes, I got a scratched one too. Luckily the one I exchanged it for was fine.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Have these guys not done their homework? Never ever ever film yourself breaking into somewhere (N)

Not that I know the trade secrets ...:shiftyninja:

[PL_ Veteran]

In case nobody had noticed I got Halo :D Halfway through the first mission...it came with a dent in it! :(

Microsoft To Offer Scratched Halo 3 Disc Replacements

Microsoft To Offer Scratched Halo 3 Disc Replacements Following numerous reports of scratched discs in Microsoft's just launched Halo 3 limited edition, the company has announced a new campaign to replace any damaged discs through the end of the year.

Reports of damaged discs circulated widely in the lead-up to the launch of the much-awaited game. Various press editors (including some of Gamasutra's own) and retailers have noted a high likelihood of the game disc having coming unstuck from its packaging post and subsequently scratched in shipping.

In response, Microsoft has announced a replacement program, accessible via the Xbox site which promises free discs through December 31st of this year.

The replacement program covers both the game disc and the bonus 'essentials' disc packed in the Halo 3 Limited Edition package. The standard and Legendary edition use different packaging that is not as susceptible to damage. After the end of the year, the charge for replacement discs will rise to $20 for U.S. customers.

Three Threads Merged.

Well, after what seemed to be an extremely long day at work, I get to leave in about 5-10 minutes.

I have to drive about 20 minutes out of the way that I normally take, and I am going to probably be hitting a hell of an amount of traffic, but it is to go pick up my paid in full copy of Halo 03 from Best Buy. Will be on tonight, more than likely just playing the Single Player campaign though, we will see.

[Meshuggah86]

A great ending to a great trilogy. Co-Op makes this game just simply amazing.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

shouldn't of happened in the first place really.. didn't the package manager think of this ahead of time?? from placing it into the container, to how much it would shake inside a truck shipping the thing, this should all be standard procedure.

glad to see microsoft acknowledged the problem, and is fixing it :)

i hoe the guy incharge of packaging doesn't receive a bonus lol

[Novaoblivion]

During the launch last night my friend got a limited edition with a scratched disk and showed it to the gamestop guy who simply opened a standard edition and gave him the disk from it.
