Microsoft remedies Halo 3 scratches

Microsoft has conceded that the design of the box that houses the Limited Edition version of its epic FPS Halo 3 has lead to a number of gamers opening it to discover that their disc is scratched – and has vowed to replace any faulty units.

The firm will allow any unhappy gamers to apply for a replacement disc free of charge until the end of the year – forgoing the usual £10 disc replacement charge.

The agreement only covers the Limited Edition, as there is no problem with the traditional or Legendary Edition’s packaging.

The replacement application form can be found here.
