Lol, you paid over $500 for a preused game XD I bet that is what they did, they played the games then b-oxed them.

At times like this I`m glad that I don`t buy Special Editions. My copy will ship in an boring standard DVD case, but hey, I will have the joy and pleasure of destryoing it for myself.

Actually, the "rendered unplayable" stuff was on 4 and 5 of the forum. Good job not reading everything.

@catalyst:

The Legendary edition discs are housed in a metal tin also, it's just thicker than the Collector's Edition. Watch the GameVideos unboxing vid and you can see their disc is popped off the spindle when they open it.

There's an easy way to make sure this doesn't happen to you though: Just shake the case and if you hear a disc rattling around, ask for another one.

To anyone who bought "The Legendary Edition" You can all sleep easy as it will not be arriving to you scratched.

Lets put all this mint-condition shit behind us. There's no point arguing about it, some people are clearly anal about it and some people dont care as long as it works.


Instead lets discuss this post on Bungie.net by a skilled Matlock who shows his evidence that THE DAMAGE is not legit:

He also suggests that it is the work of Sony Defense Force because the pictures in question were named Crap1, Crap2, Crap3.

lol, the last thing you have to worry about is a small scratch.

I've been playing this game a few days now, and you're not missing much. The storyline is okay, and I guess it's finally going to have a ending (Haven't finished the fight yet) The gameplay feels last-gen to say the least. So they added a few new vehicles that play similar to any of the earlier vehicles, a few new guns (Most of which are completely useless) throw in some new nades, a few specialty items (Bubble shield, reginerate) and vwala(SP?) you have the BEST GAME IN HISTORY, based on the hype. But, There was a game.... Oh what was it, released atleast 6 months ago, a actual next-gen game.... Oh yeah! Gears of War! and wow does is SMOKE halo 3....

I'm not even going to mentioned Bioshock, or the greatest gaming month in history. November (Assassins Creed, Army of 2, Mass Effect, Crysis...more) Can we stop talking about halo yet???? Last thing, Let's try to start buying games based off it's true merit, and not just hype and reviews... Trust me the reviews are WAYYYYYY offfff. IGN gave it a 9.5, even though they only gave a 9.7 to bioshock... lol. A xbox180 game vs. a true 360 game; and the last-gen game is only .2 off.... LOL

I live in Australia. Same problem, maybe worse. The worst thing is that the music and electronics store I work at (may or may not have hi fi in the title) are knowingly selling it because word from above has told them to sell all of them, even the damaged discs. Considering the amount of X Boxes that have been bricked at my store, this is just spitting in the face of X Box fans just that little bit more.

Mine was totaled, both discs were loose and all scratched, pretty deep too so I returned it. No sense in keeping a game that won't play. Oh well, I got the Legendary one too so I can still play that one.
