Yeah, I got a ton of crap too with something as simple as a personal check...
Fortunately my banks ATM is dangerously close to the store, so a return visit to pay in cash usually takes no time at all.

BIG PROBLEM with Halo 3. Has anyone else bought the limited edition halo 3 and found the disc's loose inside the case. Disc's and metal don't go good together. So my brand new copy has scratches on the disc. I plan on playing it tonight and returning it tomorrow for a new one. You figured they would have put the game into a sleeve.

Yeah, I heard about that problem on NeoGAF. Sucks for all you who are affected by it.

You figured they would have learned from past mistakes. Wishing I bought the regular copy.

I heard about that too. I just picked up my LE and had them open it up on the spot. They replaced the game disk with a new one from the regular edition immediately. They also gave me a sleeve for it.
Too bad they did such a crappy job on the packaging.
But I still can't wait to try out the Forge!

Both discs scratched ? I'm hoping to find a L.E. not scratched or if they'll let me take from a regular edition.

^No. The bonus disk was perfect. There was only a very slight scratch on the game disk, but it was a scratch none the less.
They swapped the game disk for the regular version's. Apparantly, that's how they're taking care of the situation with the LE buyers.

The bonus disc in mine was scratched worse than the game disc.

Latest update on the L.E. issue is major chain's like Wal-mart and K-mart are pulling copy's off the shelf. My wife took mine back and tried to find a good L.E. with no luck. So I got refunded the 10+ dollars and a regular edition Halo 3. Microsoft CSR's are going to get an ear full from me tonight. I'm going to see if I can get the L.E. packaging including the bonus disc.

I guess I'm lucky, then. My bonus disk was in perfect shape since it stayed in place in the packaging. Whoever designed the LE packaging should be forced to deal with all the complaints and replace any returns by hand...that'll teach 'em!

Thats rediculous.
I'm bidding on a Legendary copy now.
I want that damn helmet.
Yea i still don't have a 360. But why should that stop me from adding to the 360 games i already own?

Wow, they really should have planned the design of this package better.
I hope all you who got the Limited Edition are able to get this whole thing fixed without a problem.
Phoenix, great job demanding that they open it up on the spot there and see if the disc is scratched.

Thanks, man. I'm just glad I saw the article about it last night before I picked up my copy today.

Word on the Forge...freakin awesome!
Not only can you use it as an editor, but it acts as it's own game type.
In other words, you can compete against each other and if you're not around a weapon/item/vehicle that you want, you can make it spawn next to you immediately!...provided that there are $ available in the pool of money to do so.
And all players in the game have access to this pool of $, so once the $ are spent, items need to be deleted to get the $ back. So...if your opponent just spawned a tank and got in it, if you're in edit mode you can make it disappear!
Short of a full-blown, start-from-scratch map editor akin to Far Cry, this is outstanding in its own right and I'm sure will bring out a lot of fun and creative map variants!
