Subject: Mah Reach Disc Broke!!!

It's simple mathematics really.

Hi Bungie and everyone else. Recently, about a week ago or so, I was getting ready to play Halo Reach but my xbox wouldn't read the disc. I knew immediately what the problem was, because it was something that had been a long time coming that I was just trying to be really careful about. I pre-ordered the Halo Reach console bundle from gamestop back in 2010 and upon the day of it's release, the very first time I took the game out of the case just shortly after 12:01 a.m. Tuesday September 11th, 2010 the center ring of the disc that holds to the case CRACKED! ...The game still played thankfully, and I was very careful for almost a whole two years now that every time I took the game out of the case (which I consider to be the problem, those original case's center ring grips are extremely tough customers..) it would cause no further damage. My efforts were not in vain, however the day has come that I am no longer able to enjoy your fantastic game on my original disc. It may even receive a proper burial. You may ask why I wold continue to plkace my disc back into a case which I considered faulty. My answer is simply that the game BELONGS in it's home! My Halo collection is nearly complete, and it is and will remain the dominating visual in my room. Or im just kinda OCD, I dunno...

The reason I tell you this story is to convince you of my loyalty to your cause of world domination. And also, to perhaps convince you to have mercy on one of your most loyal subjects. I feel like a chump asking for a hand-out. But that is exactly what I am doing. Would you send me another disc if I were to send in proof of purchase? Or is my issue something that I should take up with Microsoft of Gamestop? I am in need of answers, but mostly, in need of my Reach! Perhaps your shining brilliant godly lights will burn all the brighter if you were to have mercy on me?

HAIL ZEO.... I mean, HAIL BUNGIE!

Bungie won't give you a free game for a very simple reason: THEY NO LONGER CONTROL THE HALO UNIVERSE!

How the -blam!- is that hard to understand?! It's even right at the top of the -blam!- page when you're typing up a thread, or a reply! Come on dude! Get with the -blam!- times already! 343i own Halo now. And no, they won't give you a free copy either. Go and buy another one you cheap skate!

Your original post made me cry blood. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

OT: No, go get a replacement disc, and treat it better next time. Or, here's a newsflash, you can get a digital copy on the XBOX Marketplace.

I'm sure if you mow the lawn a few times, you'll be able to pay it off.

This should be a good thing.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

People still troll this forum?

This should solve your issue :) Hope this works for you.

This, but without the harshness.

Not sure why you can't go out your way to purchase a replacement. It's only 10 quid (ENGLISH WORD, -blam!-ES!!), surely you can afford that.

20 bucks for a copy of Halo 3?


Yeah I just noticed this $20 thing too... Can prolly find it cheaper, Reach too. It's prolly all shipping cost.

I've spent well over a thousand dollars on Halo related material in my life, and have taken great care of all of it. (cept mah Reach disk obviously, though I tried... : ( ) Someone along the line should feel obligated to give me a damn replacement. Don't know who that is, but they're out there. If it were my perfect world I'd hold the game case manufacturer responsible for being so incompetent as to make such a rough case when we've had CDs for over a decade now, getting close to 2.

That doesn't matter at all, just because he broke the Halo disc has nothing to do with that, that discussion doesn't need to come up in every thread just because you're smart enough to know that, they would never give him another copy for his ignorance anyways, so it doesn't matter in the slightest.

I honestly don't know what you were trying to say there, but everything I said is in relation to what he was saying. Perhaps you should actually read his post, read mine and then connect the two.

I read it, don't worry, he should've addressed the cracked center before it destroyed the whole thing. It's his fault, and I'm sorry, but I can't connect the two posts if there is nothing to connect.
