hmmm me just curiuos only... is it so important for msoft rushing out something to consumers without any careful studies on their product? same thing happened before with our famous legendary 3ROD... or maybe because msoft owner got so many $$$ so giving out replacement isnt a big deal at all

well, those CE tin case are mass manufactured. maybe only certain batches have problems with their nubs not properly molded to specs.

anyway, i received a 360 game from P-A where the disc came loose inside the case and got scratched. clean the disc with some water +T-Shirt wiping. the game still works

Well... it's not alll about whether the disc still works or not, it's about paying $60 for a damaged good which I think is not acceptable at all.

My have placed my order on PA (CE), I just hope mine doesn't have any problem.

i remeber last time N3 box is damn high quality and hard to take out the dics from the holder now our super famous game the halo3 is lower the quality is way too low?

hard until someone broke the disc into half?? (remember reading it somewhere @ lyn...)

What i heard is Asian version are manufacture differently, so lets just hope for the best. (especially those who order online)

agree, it's not like we were buying RM5 pirated copy hoping it can be used. we were paying full premium price for something that is guaranteed to benefits everyone.

^actually DVDs and CDs are pretty tahan lasak. originals or pirated discs sometimes can still work after lots of scratches

disc replacement program for official countries (HK/SGP/USA/etc). about 2 weeks to replace, similar to 3RL RMA process

OMG chinese voice for the asian version?

geez that sucks!!!

wish i read about this before ordering

This is a major screw up. PA better start sending out $20 off coupons now. Imagine the disappointed buyers!

PA didn't state earlier that it's gonna be mandarin.

fuqn hell then, I might as well not open the game when it arrives and sell it below cost. grrr.

freedisk exchange programme people

my bonus disc also scratched. sigh

fyi, GH did exchange those unlucky ones with the scratch disc on the spot. I saw a few ppl like mavetan, nicklwc and a few more exchanged for new ones.

bonus disk dvd right ? can just go and make a copy of it ah ?

go exchange...or else..no pasar malam value.....

guess either i'll play the pirated copy for the single player or play the ori and pretend i'm watching taiwan drama.
should i laugh when i hear M.C say "wan zhe ge da jia!"??

no more buying MS published games from P-A, they cater for local market too much.. first kena screw with Forza 2, now Halo 3.

it must be funny to see MC speak chinese...muahaha

Take a video of it and post man. I want to hear Master Chief speak mandarin!!

ahahaa...can't imagine the arbitier and cortana speaking mandarin as well

ya..show some scene of chinese speaking Master Chief eh Heard the French version from gamersyde.com liaw, pretty weird especially the cortana voice.

impressed on the Microsoft effort in localise the games....not like those japanese, they got no idea nobody understand japanese except themself!!

You can't fault PA, or MS.

PA is bringing the stock from HK, so if MS choose to localize for the consumers there, there's nothing wrong with that.

Would have been even more funnier if the Taiwan version was localized with Hokkien!!

ahahahaha.

i wonder, can i exchange with something else?

At least Hokkien I can understand! LOL



Should be alright I suppose. You didn't play the game at all man?

The scratch is pretty critical, original disc ler, the heck it scratch till like that.. Who would be comfortable to pay for large amount to get a scratched CD?

played less than hour. half hour online, half hour campaign.

thats why u buy from a trusty local source that exchanges for you with no hassles if its really scratched.

problem is no trusty local source.....

ask before you buy dude. Ask the shop nicely if you bought it and you open it up in front of them to discover that the disc is scratched, can you exchange it? if not, buy from another shop.

PS: GH did about 5 to 6 exchanges alone last night. I forsee that its gonna be a problem with all local stocks since all of them come from SG.

u dun understand dude. No shop selling original here.
btw, u female dude?

where u at?

and yes, im female.

I will use my telekinesis power, let me guess...you are from JB.

Go SG buy la..so near, more choice also.

@thurtin being a female.... Correction : shemale.

now i'm wondering what language tracks they'll fit into my anticipated 4-disc LO

actually, even if the DVD can't fit multiple languages, they can offer voice packs via XBLM DLC eh? i think the filesize won't be more than 1 or 2GB per language.

mine got a bit of scratch but gh guys straight away change for me... good job guys.. so check ur disc before leaving..

i knew it !!!!!!!

OMG u lied! labbit is shemale

Now only PA put "chinese voice only" for their Halo 3. ggggggggggrrrrrrr

on the other hand...
even in the star tech central

anyone know if the ntsc/j version is english version? i was told the one that is not from PA is english voice. can someone pls comfirm?

^ buy the NSTC/J English Singaore version. Halo3 are all region free.

If u want mandarin voice acting, buy the NSTC/J Mandarin HK/TWN version. If u want JPN voice acting, buy the NSTC/J JPN version

Hey, thanks a lot acougan for your reply. Instead of some BS response like someone did. Thanks again ya the best!

It's also on the cover, it says "ENGLISH VERSION". At least the ones from GH and TSB and all that. PA, I don't think they have the ENGLISH VERSION yet. Just the Japanese and Chinese version. No idea why.

my game disc did came off during shipment, but luckily the foam saved it from scratches. i guess the NTSC/J (Singapore) version should have protective foam inside, somehow the US ones didn't. funny thing is, there's no foam for the bonus disc, and it didn't come off too, as if they know it wouldn't.

since some importers are not very keen on Mandarin VA version and P-A has lots of non-popular stocks, maybe they'll offer ridiculous discount soon like the BD (asian Jpn version)? i think H3 is the 1st 360 game that have Mandarin voice acting.

got halo1+2 from P-A for <USD17 while on discount

Microsoft To Offer Scratched Halo 3 Disc Replacements

Good news.

total I got quite a lot of scratches disc that I need to send it back.

but guess what~.. supplier don't let us send back... that is not good for us .

eh... why is that so? I thought you can simply go there and exchange, similar to the 3rod procedure?

btw, how many did scratched discs did you get?

^ why would the supplier refuse discs exchange? MS Singapore will compensate for their costs, no?


anyway, why not consider a Disc Resurfacing Machine?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Disc-Go-Pod-Plus-CD-DV...VQQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/Disc-Go-Devil-CD-DVD-R...VQQcmdZViewItem

for Malaysians who wish to fix their original discs, hard to find shops offering this service

well, is all about "official" distributer.

without having them officially here, hard to talk to them.

but anyway, currently now trying to talk again about the disc scratches problem again.

Microsoft will confirm do an exchange if you purchase and return back to official supplier.

but hence we are in Malaysia

but comes to think of it.. Really need to purchase those resurfacing machine repair.

the amount of scratches disc all I can say. 20 percent.

wah boss djinn that is quite high percentage hopefully mine is not scratch tomorrow~

just ask and we will open it up and check for you,

if there is any major scratches we try to get another new copy for you. (in the meantime)

No problem/hang playing for 20-30minutes, hope not later la

Finally received my Halo3:LE super special mandarin version from PA.
Now... time to wait for them to stock up on the english version before can exchange. Damn it...

Yes, I was quite pleased with PA's service. Make sure you don't take off the wrappings and PA will exchange a new copy for you. As for me... I thought they ignored my email (actually they replied but I didn't know) and I took off the wrapping. Now I have to buy another English version for the campaign... BTW, my game disc came off when I opened it, a medium size circular scratches near the center... Stupid s**T M$, you have done us a "GREAT FAVOR"!

received my phutonghua disc today from P-A, lucky both disc didn't come out. it's time to get master chief speaks chinese.
