MS + Target Employees = FTL

Jesus Christ. Thanks a lot microsoft. Thanks to you, I couldn't enjoy my Limited edition of Halo 3 (I asked for my dad to pick up the regular, but he got me the LE because I've been kicking ass in school lately (which is a new for me lolz)), and I had to take it BACK. Here's why: I hold the LE in my hands, feeling like a very lucky guy, and when I open one of the opener doors, *plop* my Halo 3 game disc comes falling down for no reason. Luckily I catch it before it falls, but only to find that the disc has been heavily scratched. Off to Target for another one....

I get to Target, explain everything (note: this is after having my LE for 15 mins before having to return it, so I didn't even get to play it or see the extras) and then the Target guy tells me I need the receipt. I give it to him, and he says he'll go get me another LE. He comes back (after waiting him for 10 minutes or so...) and says they have no more. I am a bit disappointed, but say that I'll just exchange it for the regular version. He says he can't because you can only exchange an item for the exact same item.

-_-

So then the managercomes over, and boy oh boy do we have a nice, long, half and hour discussion and debating upon the issue. While all of this is happenening, I see some customer standing next to me, and he asks "Hey are you here about the LE Halo 3 as-well?" I say yes, and he tells me how he had the same thing happen to him, and that they also wont give him a regular.

After being in their for more than an HOUR, the stupidmanager just says "Ok, how about we give you the regular, and refund you $10 back?"

I was about to tear her head off, but just nodded, and got the game....

And earlier today, I was on the 3 or 4 mission, completed after playing for an hour or more, the cut-scene ends, and then the "Error the disk cannot be read" comes up. I pray to god it saved my progress but nope, I have to start all over.

Yes Halo's save system is practically worse than Dead Rising. Almost the same thing happened to me. I left the halo 3 game and went to the dashboard and later came back to see that I had to start over again. Its not an auto-save system like Bioshock, so it is very annoying.

I hope you learned you lesson though!!! Never shop at Target or Wal-Mart for that matter. Horrible customer service.

Best Buy knew about the Limited Edition fault over a week before launch. So we told our customers. If they had scratched discs, we gave them a new copy of Halo 3 no questions asked. We want our customers to be enjoy their products and to buy with confidence.

start - save & quit..

its really not that difficult or a u realying on the auto save for check points? coz thats for only when u die during the game, not to reload from....

and its no where near as bad as dead rising. Dead rising was a pain in the ass but it system worked well for how they designed the game to play.
