I canceled mine when I first heard of this, but it had already been posted.

Its crazy that no QA was done on these boxes in the first place, at least there's no way they could have done anything worthwhile with them considering such a large amount are damaged. I have mine behind me but I can't play it as I have to send it back unopened :( I know its nackered as I can hear the disks smacking against the bottom when its moved.

I think most people will get it changed by the retailer or complete the game and then send it off.

At least I have my standard edition arriving tomorrow :p

In recognition of the release of Halo 3, a highly anticipated video game by Microsoft and Bungie, MIT hackers adorned the John P. Harvard statue, in Harvard Yard, with a Spartan helmet. The back of the helmet, which is worn by the protagonist of the game, Master Chief, was labeled with ?Master Chief in Training.? The statue was decorated with an assault rifle (bullet count of 2E), as well as a Beaver emblem on the right shoulder.

I love this game. Picked my pre-ordered copy up this morning, and beat it about an hour ago. Been playing co-op non-stop all day with my brother. For me this is easily the best of the Halo series. I seriously can`t wait to get online. (Y) :)

Well I just went to Costco and they were selling the Halo 3 XBOX 360 with Limited Edition pack. I bought it. $500...I hope my disk is not scratched.

Well my disc was scratched :( GameStop just gave me a new disk from the regular edition and MS is replacing the bonus disc if it's scratched. I got mine at midnight launch and I check before I drove off and I walked back up there like "I did not pay for this!" and everyone was like what!?!? No biggy though :p

i went to marketplace, clicked the ad, and it was charging people points.

so i went to new arrivals, and went to "33 days of Halo 3" and the blue, white, and red gamer pics were FREE (it's just a white, red or blue background with "33" in it).

the theme however, is NOT free.

You have to be clicking on the wrong ad then.

I clicked on the ad right on the main XBox Live page (ad at the bottom) and I grabbed the free theme, gamer pic, etc.

I get the list but only the pic and theme would dload. the other 2 dont respond to me seleting them.

Read those last 2 very carefully.

They state that they won't be available until 9/27 & 9/28.

No kidding. They can't seem to release anything without problems.

ya its not rocket science to test out the box either, put a few disks in and have it drove around in a car, walked around with or just generally abused. Its like 3/4 hours work at most and could have been done MONTHS ago before the game went gold.

Even if its a third party doing it, its still MS's fault for not ensuring correct QA or testing the finished product themselves. They can't say they didn't know about either because unless the box's magically appeared out of nowhere in stores someone would have handled them.
