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

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

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.

^ 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

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

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


anyway, why not consider a Disc Resurfacing Machine?
