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.

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?

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.

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.

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

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
