Halo 3 Crisis Confirmed: Scratched Discs (Updated)
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.
As both the $59.99 regular edition and $129.99 helmet-tastic Legendary Edition package the game and bonus materials in a standard DVD case, they are not said to be afflicted by this issue. Shacknews has contacted Microsoft regarding the claims and possible actions available to gamers who end up with damaged discs.

Are you sure the LE is packed with the "Green" 360 clam shell cases? All pictures I have seen are the same as the CE boxes.

Copies that come with the helmet are fine. Check out this pic.

It's the ones that come in the $69.99 tin that are supposedly scratched to hell.

Unless they sent the Collectors Edition version inside the "medias" version of the Legendary. I don't see why they would do that.-
All the vids I've seen of people in the Media opening their Halo 3 stuff show the actually game box as only having two discs in it, where as the Legendary edition has at least 3 (Maybe even 4 as I think the game itself is on two discs), so I think the media are just getting the Collectors Edition or maybe even just the two game discs and the Art Book.
