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.

They're cheap to produce, so are the readers/burners, they don't take much space. But fundamentally they're utterly crap.
They're just unprotected. Unlike hu.. floppy disks? Sony's MDs? Iomega Zip Disks? Pretty much anything beside CDs in fact.
Unfortunately DVD/HDDVD/BR and such will only continue the trend...
