Halo 3 Crisis Confirmed: Scratched Discs (Updated)
by Chris Faylor, Sep 24, 2007 2:26pm PDTUpdate: Shacknews editor-in-chief Chris Remo and several other Shackers have confirmed instances of scratched discs in their Limited Edition copies of Halo 3. Original Story: Reports originating from the self-proclaimed "preeminent video game industry discussion community" NeoGAF suggests that tonight's launch of Bungie's anxiously awaited Halo 3 (X360) may be hampered by shoddy packaging and scratched discs. User Hooterville and other posters in the thread claim the packaging of the $69.99 Limited Edition tin containing Halo 3 is marred by an inadequate disc tab, which allows both discs of the special edition to break free during the shipping process and become damaged. Several pictures were provided, which we have rehosted below.

Even the good old fashioned jewel case is pretty crap. I've lost count of the number of CDs that have arrived in the post with little plastic teeth from the disc-holding ring snapped off and floating around in the case, often when the CD loose as well.
Of course the problem is worse with stupid DVD-sized packaging which gives discs more room to move and get scratched up. I still want to know what was so good about wasting space on rectangular packaging for a circular medium.
