SEATTLE - Within hours after die-hard fans finally got their hands on a copy of "Halo 3," blogs brimmed with reports that special limited-edition packaging is scratching the video game disks.

Microsoft Corp., which owns the studio that makes "Halo 3," responded quickly on its Xbox Web site with details for a replacement program. Customers can fill out a form and send in their scratched limited-edition disks for a free exchange through the end of December.

A Microsoft spokesman and a member of the company's outside PR firm did not immediately respond to calls and e-mails from The Associated Press requesting more information.

Only the expensive version.

Yeah I got the LE and the game disk was fine, but the bonus disk was badly scratched. I opened it in Gamestop so there would'nt be any problems. They went through 2 brand new copies of the LE until they found a scratchless bonus disk. I asked to see how many copies had been scratched and they said that they have sold about 40 LE copies and none have had a problem. Well I was the first.
