I have heard a lot of people who have bought the limited edition of Halo 3 have found out that their games disc is cracked and sometimes this affects gameplay and with other cracked discs the game doesn't even run.

I myself bought the Halo 3 - Limited Edition about 2 weeks ago; which came with the games disc, bonus disk, concept art book, halo 3 poster all in a metal embossed case. I played it the 1st time and it worked just fine but TODAY, I noticed that my elite console was soundin weird and not loading up and coming up with a message saying "Player content failed to load". AN di thought what the ****.

I then ejected the disc and looked at it closely and there it was ... A crack, about half a centimetre long. Unrecognisable from your everyday regular distance of about 75 - 120cm, but when you look closely it shows up real bad.I then knew that this was causing all the problems

I looked up the bungie website then found a link to the "Xbox Disc replacement Program". Halo 3 Limited Edition was listed as one of the games covered under the program.

What I want to know now is that replacing the disc, IS IT FREE or is there a fee? The post and packaging, etc?

ANYONE ELSE HAVING/HAD THIS PROBLEM

I am pretty sure it is free. All you need to pay for is the shipping of your disk back to Bungie.

same thing happened to me. i sent in my first one and got a new one back for free. but two weeks later my halo stopped working and i saw the crack. i called xbox and they said i can send it in again and get it replaced for free and that i should not use the collectors edition case. so me and my friends had a bonfire and i threw the case in there
