So all we got for our extra $10 was an extra DVD and special-looking box art? orz

Dammit. I feel dirty now, like an abused whore.

I'd like my $10 back, MGS. I'll even send you back the box and the "special" DVD if you'd like. Just give me my money. =\

They should make you input your sku to see if you did buy the LE.

That wouldn't work because all you have to do is go to Gamestop or any other place that sells games and copy the SKU off of the back of the box. they really will not have a way to prove that you have the LE edition unless they make you mail them a copy of your recipt.

Wow. I love the game, and I was even defending the past LE cuts, but this is ridiculous. We basically paid an extra $10 for a different case?

I *really* hope Lionhead are doing something to compensate those of us who went out of the way to get the LE and got screwed over at every turn.

Wow wtf. The game is great, but this is a joke. So basically LE people paid an extra $10 for a disc with a "making of" documentary on it...

No, it's not. The Halo 2 LE had a special metallic box, just like the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory LE.

There is an error in this story. The codes will be sent within 10 days, not within 5. So if you bought the CE, you paid an extra $10 for a different cover and a "bonus" disc. And by the time you finally get the Halo gear you will have waited an extra 17 days for it. I don't know who to blame more, Microsoft or Lionhead, but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Registration Success!
Thank you for your registration.

Once we validate your submission, we will deliver your Fable II codes through email within 10 business days

On the main page it says you'll have the code in 5 business days...once you register it's 10 days, I think we all know MS language and can tell what this really means =)

Man, my ass almost hurts from this deal. Fable 2 is/was an awesome game, but man, I feel screwed for paying extra when ALL I wanted (besides the game) was the Hobbe figure. I could give a crap about the art book.. you look at it once, and then it just sits in a drawer.

I paid the extra $10 for the in-game content. Now that it's available to everybody, for free, I want my money back. This is f'ing ridiculous.

Actually, they can't. The discs for both the regular and limited edition are the exact same. Nothing in the code specifies what version they are.

Just couldn't get into the game. I returned it for Fallout 3 after playing my brothers copy of Fable 2. Just didn't like the art style and the multiplayer was horrid.

Great concept another failed execution. At least I have 5 actual great exclusive RPGs on the 360 to get into after the new year.

Infinite Undiscovery
Last Remnant
Tales Of Vesperia
Eternal Sonata
Lost Odyssey

How much time did you put into before giving up? Just curious, I found it slow to get into initially as well.

Thats right Eternal Sonata just dropped for the PS3 ... 360 version is $39.99 now instead of the full $59.99 retail cost

@Markez

Probably not enough time. I played it at his house (in his single player and MP with him) for probably 3-4 hours. Didn't start from the beginning.

Cool, at least I can get it now. I really don't care if everyone can get it because I payed the extra money for the DVD. (I love that kind of stuff)

This is quite sad. Not that it would have mattered, the Fallout 3 CE absolutely destroyed the originally planned Fable 2 package.

Seriously though, Microsoft really needs to hand out $10 refunds to those who bought a CE and CE folks need to learn a lesson, if all you get is digital crap and a making-of DVD, don't go CE. Buy it if you get a lunch box and a bobble head.

The best thing about SE/LE's is the tin case. Having one without one is just lame, so I skimped out on getting the Fable 2 one. Glad I did now. The sleeves does look kinda cool though....

So anyway yeah, people saying SE/LE's are pointless; THE TIN CASES MAN.

I like how the "bonus" DVD has a video about the Hobbe figure we didn't even get... and it tells you at the end to take a pic of your Hobbe and upload it to the Fable website... all I can say is "Nice"...

I was really going to get the Limited Edition of Fable 2, but I held out when I saw the disastrous launch, because I knew this would happen.

Thanks Microsoft! I'll go buy a 800 point game off XBLA to show my gratitude.

Anybody else notice that the LE content wasn't really DLC, just an unlock code; a suit of armour, 2 weapons and a dungeon do not fit into a 100KB download. What a rip-off. Still, my Fallout 3 LE should be here tomorrow; that should ease my pain a little (unless there's a sudden bout of "supply chain issues").
