Right smack in the middle of Microsoft’s most important Xbox 360 game launch of the year, some “Halo 3” discs have been scratched before their unlucky owners ever got a chance to play them. Not all of the scratches resulted in unplayable discs, but the problem is systemic enough that Microsoft is waiving its usual $20 replacement disc fee so that owners can get new ones shipped to them free. “Halo 3” is available in three possible packages — “Halo 3” for $59.99, “Halo 3 Limited Edition” for $69.99, and “Halo 3 Legendary Edition” for $129.99.
