Fable II LCE Drops in Price and Features


Recommended Posts

It looks like Peter Molyneux's ability to promise features for his games that never arrive extends in the world of retail box sets as well. (We kid because we care)

Due to a "supply chain issue" the Fable II Limited Collector's Edition will no longer include the premium box, five printed fate cards and Hobbe figure, Lionhead Studios today. To make up for the missing feature set, the collector's edition will now run for about $70, instead of $80.

The Collector's Edition is expected to hit on October 21 in North America and Asia and October 24 for Europe and will include:

* Fable II game disc

* Bonus DVD with new ?Making-of? Feature

* Bonus in-game content (requires Xbox LIVE?)

o ?The Hall of the Dead? Dungeon

o ?The Wreckager? Legendary Cutlass Weapon

o Spartan armor and energy sword

Lionhead is also giving away a Fable album they created for the game as a free download. The download includes a selection of music from Fable 1 and three brand new tracks from the upcoming Fable II soundtrack.

To grab the music go to this link starting on Oct. 6 and enter ?FableCollection? as a promotion code.

I pre-ordered this from game.co.uk, got an email this morning, its now ?39.99, and you can no longer pre-order this edition at the moment from there either, I will keep it for the time being to see what happens, but its same price as normal edition now.

i got my email yesterday but i noticed that when i originally ordered it i used a ?5 gift voucher with the order and now they null & voided the ?5 off and now they are just charging me what i was paying when i used the voucher. if they were going to reduce the price they should drop it to ?35 as i had used the voucher when i pre-ordered and now i have to pay full price.

i'm half tempted to just cancel my order n:crazy:azy:

Oh I better check that, I used a ?3 voucher, gonna check now...

Same and mine is still at ?41.99! Sent Game an e-mail, since they are pretty slow, I won't hold my breath for a reply:((

Yep just checked mine is at ?41.99

so snugglepuffle maybe it has not amended the price yet.

Looks like others here have the same issue.

Either wait for a couple of days to see if its amended, then either email or call.

Yeah I was gutted about this when I read the news. Really wanted the statue. For anyone that no longer wants the LE, the next best price for the normal edition is ?35 from Zavvi afaik.

I'm keeping my order for the LE just now just incase things change, but I've put a new order in for the regular game too.

I got the e-mail from Game as well. I am so annoyed :( I wanted those items.

Mine is still at ?41.99 wtf:||

I phoned game today (And got stuck on hold for a solid 20mins....) but I spoke to a lovely girl about this and explained the situation. She told me the website preorder prices ARE changing, EVERYONE who has one will pay no more than ?39.99, but it'll take a couple of days for it to go through. Like you guys, I used a ?3 discount to get the ?41.99 price and when I asked if that discount would travel over, she said she wasn't sure as "the guy doing them wasn't around". She took my number and told me that she'd phone me back when she knew the answer, but she never did.

Oh well, at least you know it's dropping to ?39.99 at least.

I really hope they honour the vouchers but I bet they will come up with some stupid reason like the system can't cope with processing orders like that! They will probably just say no anyway. A simpler way would've been to take ?5 off every order on the Fable 2 LE, that way those who used a voucher of some kind of even reward points(not sure if they are affected?) would be sorted to correct prices for everyone!

Dear Customer,

We have recently contacted you regarding a marketwide problem with the Fable II Collectors Edition. We have since been informed by Microsoft that there has been a further complication.

They have advised us that the developer diary and soundtrack are no longer going to be available on the bonus DVD.

We are very disappointed and would like to reassure you that your Collectors Edition will still include:

Bonus DVD with new ?Making-of? Feature.

Bonus in-game content (requires Xbox LIVE?) including:

? The Hall of the Dead Dungeon

? The Wreckager Legendary Cutlass Weapon

? Spartan armor and energy sword

Also because you have ordered from GAME.co.uk

you will have already received your code to download the Fable II Xbox Live Pub Games. If you have not received this yet have no fear as they are being emailed out every Friday afternoon, fear not! They are being emailed out every Friday afternoon.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Customer Services

Just got this from Game, this truly s:no:! :no:

What the hell are those clowns at Lionhead and Microsoft doing? I can *maybe*, just maybe understand issues related to a physical figurine but to now have to cut a developer diary and the soundtrack? What gives?

Seriously this hasn't been a good month for Microsoft in this department. First disbanding Ensemble and now their inability to even get an effing Soundtrack printed for the game. It really baffles me what the hell they are doing. They should just get rid of the collectors edition and give everyone what little content is left. You can bet they wouldnt do this with Gears of War or Halo.

edit: Well glad I didn't cancel my preorder anyway. Having a look the games now listed as the same price as the standard edition here and apparently some places in the UK. Heh.

Edited by Smigit
Im unsure what to do, if they honour my voucher, it will be 36.99, which is fine, as I will get the in game content, Spartan FTW.

I'd wait and see. Just like here I think it's likely most places will probably have the collectors for the prce of a standard now. maybe give them a few days to see if prices change.

Game still hasn't replied to my e-mail I sent on Thursday morning! My order is still showing as ?41.99 as well but I suppose over the weekend it will be sorted. I really doubt they will honour the vouchers we used at the pre-order!

Game really needs to sort their support out, they are slow as hell.

I've never had a problem with Game's support before. They have a habbit of sorting things out in the background, and usually the first you'll hear from them is also the solution they've come up with. I don't think I've ever had to send more than one email for help with my orders.

I have to say, after the second email I'm very tempted to just cancel my order. It seriously can't be that hard to organise this stuff, they had it planned out months and months ago, how come they've only just realised there'd be problems? As someone said, physical figurines are maybe understandable, but bonus content that's supposed to be on a disk? There's no real excuse for that at all.

If game doesn't lower the price to reflect the ?3 voucher I used, I'll definitely cancel it.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
