  • your a idiot i let my disk under my tv for a year took it odut it was coverd in good and the thing was in half and the scaches were like nukes bluw up next to the disk

  • i bought normal halo 3 it was beautiful without one scratch but my sister scratched it :´(

  • My came like that also.

  • i had the same problem it still ran ok. But after 2 weeks of putting it on and taking it off of that crappy spindly thing. it broke my disc it literally tore a crack in my disc so my xbox kept rejecting it. but apparently that wasn't covered in the warranty so i went and got the normal one.

  • dude that is what a waranty is for lol just get the same on again i doubt you will get that problem again.

  • ya some movies have same probblem,i think depends where it was made mexico/canada/usa and i think china gets a contract to produce game discs but it happens so few times its hard to find the where the trend is where i live in b.c. canada i never herd of this probblem

  • that would hot happen if it was a blueray disk..

  • both same only BR can carry more data..

  • lol, no dude look it up! blueray disks have a thicker protective layer!

  • My Legendary Edition disks weren't scratched, you'd think the CE would be okay

  • this problem only applies to the people with the collectors edition, their case is different.

  • Have you even attempted to play it yet...? Do that before you take it back, you need to check to see if it works dude...

  • If you guys do get a scratched disc and you can't return it no need to fear. Thankfully its supported by Microsoft so go to their site and go to like disc problems. You will see something like free disc replacement and halo 3 is on the list. Fill out the form and they will send you a new disc or you will send them in your disc not really sure. Don't worry if its scratched just return it or do the disc replacement.

  • dude... your crying....

    nerd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thats what heppend to me! sheep plastic, I hate it Hahaha!

  • only 2 cures for a scratched disc.the first is toothpaste,the other is brasso.

  • get a disc docter cuz before i got halo 3 i rented it and it had scratches and i fixed it with my disc docter where u spray it andit well sand the disc and fix it

  • sand it?you mean sand paper?won't that shit make it worse?

  • no no no i ment the disc docter has sand paper that will refinsh the disc as new as long as its not gouged it should work and there is a spary with it to.

  • Oh.

  • Mine was like that and it looked scratched but the only thing it effected was the loading.

  • u should have got the legendary edition just 4 master chiefs helmet that thing is sick

  • i have a collectors edition and mine does that a lot but so far it has not been scratched but i always have problems loading maps and missions and when i change my charater it will go back to what i had then i have to change twice before it stays the way i want it.

  • its still not fixed bought mine yesterday not playble im going back to futureshop and kickin some ass

  • haha RIGHT ON

  • I bought the Collectors for that kick ass book.

  • haha we got like three before we got 1 without stratch

  • I'm glad I didn't by it

  • thx dude, goodthing my freinds isnt like that. he bought the CE version too.

    and CE can stand for a lot of things in halo.

    custom edition

    combat evalved

    and colectors edition

    lol

  • Omg its happened to me too...all people happen :P my cd game broke and my video cd (limted broke) Im so''''''''

  • Thx dude.

  • only problem is that when u buy the legendary edition it has the limited edition inside of the helmet with the same exact packaging. The only edition where u probably won't have a scratched disc is the standard.

  • cool good to know

  • it's not because the spindel is made of a cheap plastic, it's because the disks ring is too small for the spindel, this is what happened to mine, but mine cracked through the center of the disc, Microsoft are sending disks out with bigger rings to fit onto the spindel, all you gotta do is send your scratched disk to them, they will send you a replacement.

  • same thing with me the centre hole is completely full of cracks. Well pissed off.

  • thats what happend with gears of war

  • Stupid Microsoft.

  • Wow...Its the end of the WORLD!

    Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha

  • i swear 2 god... (this is 2 jayalan792)... dude my rainbow six vegas is sooo fucked up... i picked up my 360 while i was playing online 2 check the serial number (long story) and i barely, LIGHTLY dropped my 360, i heard 2 squeeks and i knew it was my disc... so i buffed it and then its STILL not working, WHAT DO I DO?!

  • Same happened to me and guitar hero 3

  • Same shit that happened to me

  • i got the legendary edition and it was scrathed too, i couldn't play on sandtrap or vallhall,or the first level, made me mad, i had to borrow it from a friend to beat it ^_^

  • How did that happen? Legendary's held in regular DVD cases.

  • Do you need the reaceit? i dont know how to spell it but its liekt he paper thinging that they give u do u need that to get another one someone tell me goes i cant stand a life with out Halo

  • the way i spell it is: receipt

  • i heard that in like 10 case is bad choice buy collectors edition!

  • ya sorry man i got halo 3 for x-mass this year i was so happy that i got it but the bad thing is i got a shity xbox 360 last year it only play games half of the time and 2 days before Christmas it made a noise and it stop working for a little bit and then it work again so x-mass day i put halo 3 in and it would not play the shit said i have to download some shit so i try downloading it and it would not let me

  • standard edition is safer cause the bx is smaller and microsft is not the creaters of halo

  • What about Halo 3 legendary edition ?

    I am getting halo 3 Legendary edition for $200.00AU and i do not want to waste $200.00

  • I just got the Legendary Edition, and the games are in their own, regular Xbox360 cases. The cases are exactly like other Xbox360 games, so the discs stay in place, and they are in place and are NOT scratched, so it's safe to get the Legendary Edition.

  • thanks gunreaper, i was scared that my legendary edition would be fucked up. now is the damage when you buy it or over time????

  • what I want to know is did the game still work?

  • didnt the y say free replacements will be givien?

  • I miss game cartridges, so much less of a pain in the ass then discs. Maybe i'm just old fashioned.

  • Kinda weird how he had the game before it came out >_>

  • bungie said that you can return the collectors edition if you have the receipt and the disc is scratched

  • sue bungie! lol

  • got* srry :)

  • I t my CE edition at kmart the day it came out in perfect condition :P Although i think my 360 fuked it up a little :D Thats why i don't buy shit from game stores all the time they just slap everything around and usaly out of stock rllly fast.

  • Not to mention that all the stuff made is trying to be environmentally healthy so all materials used for that kind of stuff went to hell, like Star Wars Lightsabers

  • Lol the Collectors Edition tin sucks, the disks pop off the spindles so you should watch how you move around with it.

  • to get it fixed you bring it to game crazy in the holywood video place they can fix scraches

  • that happend to me but i went back to eb games and they gave me a new disc lol!

  • yeah, i didn't bother with the legendary or collectors edition, i find all that shit useless, all i want is the game :) plus, if i did want the extra content, i would just take it from my friend's legendary edition

  • dude mebys if u dunt throw ur game around and play it all the time it wont scratch coff coff!

  • At least your copy didnt have finger prints and gum on it

  • sry about that

  • thx man

  • my h3 came out really f***** when i opend mine..i opened mine up and the case had a FAT dent in it..dnt really matter but im still pissed cos i payed £50 to get a messed up game..anyway i opend my essentials and the spindle tingy was like rite at the bottom of the case when its supposed to be in the middle (on other vids its in the middle)and finally all the cd's were scratched n every thin as well..dus anyone kno how i could replace da case to get a half decent one?

  • i bought Halo 3 CE on the day it came out and the game was out of the the thing. But thankfully the game wasn't scratched at all!! thank u god

  • thats y i bought just regular halo3 and hopefully u get another copy

  • um... just go 2 eb games or any games store and tell them 2 fix the scratches duh u guyz are n00bz

  • lol

  • same crap to me i was pissed of

  • ty for the video

  • SAME SHIT HAPPEND TO ME MAN

  • long story short.....bungie... spent to much time in this game... to let it be phail.... but of course leave it to microsoft to cheap out... same thing happened back with gears of war case...

  • wow..u think that scratch is bad...i got a huge crack on it and IT GET EVEN BIGGER!!......does m/s replace the crack as well or do they only replace the scratch?

  • they will replace your disk just go to the costumer support on xboxes wbsite and there will be a list of games that can be replaced, and Halo 3 is one of them

  • lol i gat legedary

    perfect no scratches w00t w00t!

  • the same thing happened to me , I sent it back to microsoft , still waiting to get it back.

  • it was on the news that most the disks were scratched if urs came out mint then you were lucky.

  • mine is allready scratched to hell to. my xbox tipped over and scratched the hell out of it. :(

  • thats how mine was i was pissed

  • When I got mine home it was fine until around the weekend where when I took the disc out it wouldn't work. Infact it was cracked as my spindle is really tight and bends the disc and makes it more likely to crack. Which it did crack, lucky I got it replaced at game.

  • my disc got scratched and was loose.... first the damn 3 red light thing with 3 of my 360's, eventually got the halo 3 1 wich is in gud shape, now the fucking game that ive been waiting for 3 years... got abit fucked up

  • lol, this is hystericle. first microsoft cuts corners on hardware development, and now gaming cases. no excuses....lol, you guys, when will you learn??? halo is not even good, dont bother with a second copy, because it wont work either.

  • Wait just a sec u posted this vid on sep 23 2007 but halo came out sep 25 2007

  • Some stores released it early.

  • The same thing happened to me!

    I am really dissapointed with the spindle

    And then all they have from keeping it from getting scratched is some cheap ass velvet

  • funny thing when i got my CE on the night of the release only my bonus content was loose, the original game disc was in perfect condition on the spindle. Funny thing to my bonus content disc had like 2 extremely thin scratches lol for the people that got it

  • The samething happened to me. The Halo 2 packaging was better. I guess trying to deliver over 1.5 million units before midnight was more of the mission. Nonetheless, the game plays and if I wish to remove the scratches I can go to my local game store and have it buffed up.

  • I have to say, You make sence when you talk. But, I got the standerd edition.. It wasn't scratched when I opened it. But thanks alot for the info. I was probley going to get that edition. I still might.

  • If you got it shipped, that sucks for you, should have got it at midnight at a Gamestore close to you. I got mine at Midnight, 2nd Copy of CE, opened it there, nothing missing, nothing moved, nothing loose, and no scratches. Brand new...

  • ya that sucks i heard about that before it came somehow I donno but i went and upgraded to legendary edtion

  • wow u have breathing problems. anyway they suck sumthing big if they like to make us mad by making their collecters edition with metal paper. collecters edition for the garbage can!

  • Angle the edge of the disk kinda towards the camera, the reflection leaves and it'll make the scratches easier to see.

  • my game disk was fine...but the "essentials" disk doesnt play..it tells me to either, "insert into an xbox 360 console." OR it doesnt more from the dashboard and it says "tray open." I finished the game and it played fine though

  • mind was like that but no scratches! woop! lucky me :)

  • the legandary editions packaging is supposed to come with a black case and its supposed to have 3 disks in it, mine had 2 different cases, one with 2 disks and one with 1 disk, i feel ripped off and im e-mailing them about it!

  • im asking for it for christmas, may b mine wont b messed.

  • sgsgsgdhg

  • u sounded retarded on that "free xbox elite" video....

  • u can send it back and get a new disc but it takes like 5 days

  • if you buy it from ebgames, they'll give you a standard edition, if you're collectors is scratched. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU MUST BUY A 3 DOLLAR DEPOSIT, OR THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK!!!

  • that same thing happened to me jajajaj but i come back to the shop and they change the disk for another but they give me the standard and now i have 2 jajaja

  • shit man sorry yo. hope you got that fixed. Should have gotten the standard. I got the LE

  • Should of got LE edition.

  • take some brasso, apply it to a sock and rub in a circular motion all over affected areas it worked perfectly on my halo 3 legendary. im stupid, i set the xbox on its side while the disk was spinning LARGE scratch on the outer rim, after the brasso is done let it dry for 5 minutes and wipe it off from the center of the disk to to the outside edge, trust me it works perfectly its like sanding down the scratches with very fine sandpaper so fine you cant even see it.

  • what the hell is brasso. i want to try this out but i have no idea what brasso is.

  • brasso is the brand name of the product google: brasso

  • hey dude that didnt work. i bought some brasso to fix my scratched cds and it didnt work. am i doing something wrong? can you give a little more details to your instructions from your first comment?

  • you apply the brasso to a sock or other thing you don't care about and then rub in a circular patern where the deepest gashes are when you are done wipe of the excess with a sock, and if it still doesn't work rinse it off

  • ok one more thing. how hard? am i supposed to force it on, do it not to hard and not too soft, am i supposed to super speed polish it, or spin it slowly? there, thats my final question, hard or soft or slow or fast?

  • ok wait wait wait. ONE last question, how long? should i do it until it disapears and you can no longer see it, or leave a little on? and one last one hold on sorry dude, how much brasso should i put on? one drib or a huge load?

  • you know what i did i went to game crazy and bought a buff card before i bought halo 3 and when i found it scratched i just went there and hade it buffed works fine now!!!

  • haha thank god im cheap

  • mine was like that when i opened it too but i havent checked if they are acratched yet

  • thanx for the heads up , I appriciate it

  • that same thing happened to me i wuz so pissed!!!!!!

  • I got a scrathced disc too, but luckily It worked

  • Much appreciated, dude. Wish I had caught this before getting my collector's edition. Would've saved me from some headaches.

  • dude thats right im so greatfull incase thathappens to me

    THANX MAN!

  • does the legendary get all scratched up? cuz thts wat i got

  • that goes to show you how half ass microshit is

    ps3 4 life

  • Congratulations, you sir, are a slice of chunky chicken crap. Im sorry to inform you, but halo 3, kicks the shit, out of all the ps3 games ( haha ) now, i want you to go build a fire, and then die in it.

  • WHAT THE FUCK MAN FIRST OF ALL best buys gay little motherfucking white asss taking hella god damn motherfucking long delivering a god damn simple game to my house and when i get thefucking game its going to be fucking scratched WTF MAN micrososft fucking up man first the 360 are getting fucked up then the cheapass collector's edition what the hell is microsoft fucking doing man!!!my 360 freezing all the time fuckman and scratching my fucking games too what the hell man BULLSHIT!!!

  • oh yea and one more fucking thing! microsoft said that they would replace theses fucked up cases on fucking DECEMBER what the fuck? who the hell wants to fucking wait that damn long for halo 3 this is BULLSHIT man finally halo 3 comes out and its fucked?!

  • man this is bull shit first of all i preordered this shit from fucking best buy and they are taking forever to deliver the god damn motherfucking game to me SHIT it took a week and a fucking half to get it delivered or more god fucking damn it doesnt take this long to deliver a simple videogame dammit and guess what when i get the damn game its goig to be scratched to hell microsoft/bungie/bestbuy/ups really fucked this one up!man im so pissed right now!!!

  • thank god i bought this 7 dollar product thats a liquid that fixes scratches, i moved my xbox360 and it scratched it a little and couldnt play it for a day. but it works now.

    Microsoft has to many problems but they fix it, there all fixable. homemade, shipping or call someone.

  • you see, microsoft is more of a SOFTWARE COMPANY, not a COMPUTER DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, like Sony or Nintendo, who have experience with t.v.'s and other things, so their products won't be as good right away but they eventually solve problems. (eventually.....)

  • More evidence that proves that Microsoft software just does not measure up. I use Legends a much better game. I also play it on my free Linux BOX. Much better than the XBOX 360 which also scratches disks when it is moved.

  • LMAO, typical for microsoft.

  • totally

  • yeah i just got my halo3 and that past weekedn my brother moved the xbox to the bigger screen and guess wat it heated up fast as hell cuase it was pver a metal dvd player and so with time it went heating up to the boiling point and the heat went back to my 360 and now i cant fucking play my halo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mine fucken to

  • Not trying to offend fanboys nor owners, but Microsoft sucks. Their customers have been waiting for it and bamb another setback. Let alone, you play the game and it kind've works just to see the red lights thing. I really wish that Microsoft would actually improve in something. They just keep fucking things up. At least it's just the limited edition. Thank God the edition is limited.

  • Whats all this cd scratch and red ring. Face it. XBOX SUCKS. One point for PS3 and 0 for xbox.

  • OMG.... I just got the Ledgendary Edition yesterday, it was great, no scratches.. then when I turned on my 360, and then I see a death ring.... RIGHT WHEN HALO 3 COMES OUT, I GET A DEATH RING!!!! WHY!!!!!!

  • Its a sign that say "XBOX SUX". good thing i got ps3.  HELL YEAH

  • lol just like my friend from school he got halo 3 and when he turned on his 360 he got the red ring of death

  • It didnt want to have itself overheat and die during [technically demanding] Halo 3 so it committed suicide, haha.

  • good thing I got the standard

  • Crap mine comes in 3 days.

  • You shouldn't have to wait, they have to replace them at the store.

  • Hold on to that copy, Microsoft said they would replace all scratched discs. Also who in microsoft it testing these disc cases out? Because that person needs to be fired....lol

  • ya my Halo 2 LCE didn't come loose but a couple of my buddies did. So I kind of learned from the last time to wait to see if it happens...and wow congrates to Microsoft for screwing a lot of ppls night up again. Like you said 74 bucks after taxes should not be cheap plastic.

  • I got Halo 3 9/25/07 and i put it on the Xbox 360 and its messed it up and i got the RED circle of Death now my FUKING XBOX 360 dont work i got the disc loose and its wazs scrached also

  • hahahahaha... XBOX SUCK BALLS

  • haha u suck balls fag

  • Thanks for the vid. Was going to buy CE until I saw all these vids about the disc being scratched. Luckily, all the stores I went to ran out of CE. Unfortunately, They had Regular Edition, but I didn't buy it.

  • my HALO 3 LIMITED EDITION was SCRATCHED without me knowing it, that i put it on my 360 and then got THE RING OF DEATH!!!!!!!! i'm so pissd off now got 2 wait new halo 3 n new 360.....fuck

  • Luckily I was able to swap out my CE for regular edition. I plan to get CE later in the future if Microsoft plans to change the damn spindle to the regular/Legendary edition.

  • I got the halo 3 collectors edition and my disc was loose and scratched as well so i returned it and exchanged it and looked at the disc in the store. the store let me look at it. That one was also loose and scratched, so they get another one, they opened it, that one was loose and scratched too. and that was the last few copies they had of the CE Edition. I was disappointed that i couldnt play tonight

  • did u get a new one ???

  • me to chak out my video

  • Yep i've got my CE just the same as you, unfortunately the game disc was the one who got scratched.

  • While your in the store, I would *lightly* shake the case to see if the game disk is loose. If its not loose, then it shouldn't be scratched, meaning its safe..

  • i went to best buy and they were filling bins with scratched disks and they had to open like 10 before they gave me a good one with no scratches.

  • ok, men thanks for the info, i will open my game case tomorrow on the store

  • SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME FFS.

  • fucking same thing happened to me

  • The same thing happened to my Halo 3 Collecters Edition discs :(

  • Excellent Video!

    Well done, you have just saved me from commiting suicide...lol. And I am really dissappointed with Microsoft and their cheap asses....
