Microsoft has announced that they will offer replacements to scratched discs. (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=9055)
Microsoft acknowledged reports that Halo 3's special limited-edition disc packaging has caused scratching and has extended an offer to replace any damaged discs.
Microsoft has even offered to replace the Halo 3 discs and any other Xbox 360 game discs through the end of the year. The offer only applies to a select list of games that are published by Microsoft. Some costs may apply--only Halo 3's disc is offered to be replaced for free.
No replacement will be made if less than 90% of the damaged disc is enclosed. Other terms can be found here.
The following other games are currently listed in the replacement page.
Halo 3 Limited Edition
Crackdown
Fuzion Frenzy 2
Gears Of War
Halo 2
Kameo: Elements of Power
Ninety Nine Nights
Perfect Dark Zero
Project Gotham Racing 3
Viva Piņata
Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Vol. 1
The other games besides Halo 3 currently cost $20.00 U.S. to replace. The replacement program does not include manuals or games, only the disc. You can find a form to order the replacement here (PDF).
DailyTech first reported the news of the damaged disc reports on Saturday. The report features photos of scratched discs.
Many gamers' fury will be quelled by Microsoft's offer, but some will likely be unhappy that the other games in the plan are not free to replace like Halo 3.
