Reception
On release the Limited Edition was criticised for a poorly-designed case which allowed discs to pop out during transit and get scratched, in some cases becoming unplayable. Microsoft officially recognised this issue and added the disc to its Disc Replacement Program, allowing affected buyers to get replacements for free.[3][4]
