Check your inbox: Fable 2 Limited Edition DLC codes finally shipped

by Griffin McElroy { Nov 15th 2008 at 1:30PM }

We've received a number of tips from jilted purchasers of the Fable 2 Limited Collector's Edition over the past day -- it seems Microsoft has finally e-mailed out the DLC voucher codes which were supposed to have been included in the $69.99 bundle. Though the code, which will allow players to download the blatantly anachronistic "Hal's Armor", is a few weeks tardy, owners of the limited edition will be glad to know that their extra $10 investment has finally paid off, netting them some neat exclusive content. Well, them, and everyone else who ordered a replacement code without dropping the additional Hamilton.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

I would be thoroughly upset if I had bought the limited edition to then find out I could have gotten the content for fre.

There was very little that could have been done to correct this issue, and it's the only way to make sure that those who paid for the collectors edition got what they paid for. Yes, it sucks that I could have gotten it free if I had wanted to, but I reserved the limited edition because I thought it was worth all the extras. I was fortunate that the game I bought came with the code, so none of this really has any impact on me at all.

Next time let's make sure that everyone gets what they've paid for the first time, okay?

Mrblonde @ Nov 15th 2008 3:12PM

Not only that, but if it was me I wouldn't have bought such a stripped down limited edition even if it came with some exclusive content. I only get limited editions if the extra ten bucks will justify my purchase.

someguy @ Nov 15th 2008 3:23PM

thoroughly upset?

lol

so are people paying for dlc or the actual stuff that comes with the lc these days

drsashamd @ Nov 15th 2008 1:36PM

Wow, that's absolutely ridiculous that everyone could get the DLC and not just those that got the limited edition.

someguy @ Nov 15th 2008 3:26PM

dlc is the not only difference between the regular and the limited collectors edition

if you paid 10 dollars extra SOLEY to dress up as master chief and shit then you got played

VedicHymn @ Nov 15th 2008 4:26PM

Someguy,

The DLC was really the only thing worthwhile about the LE, after it got stripped of everything else. Otherwise you got a different cover, and a really terrible "making of" dvd.

Markez @ Nov 15th 2008 1:42PM

Yeah, I got it here. Annnnd holy MEH batman. The armor is ok, I guess. The sword is pretty worthless. I don't know how they managed it, but probably even people who didn't buy the LE are likely feeling ripped off.

Grant @ Nov 15th 2008 1:45PM

that sword is garbage. even if you used it first thing at the start, it's still underpowered.

Arkanos @ Nov 15th 2008 1:48PM

The content itself is meaningless.. It's the fact that people didn't get what they paid for, and that's the underlying reason for all the frustration. I'm just glad they finally fixed their screw up, a bit late though M$.

Brian @ Nov 15th 2008 2:09PM

HAL's sword only does 20 damage...
Has 3 augment slots though.

Jakka ( The Order of Haters of Balance) @ Nov 15th 2008 2:31PM

Meh.

The Infamous All-clue Frying Pan dealt over 200 with 6 augmentation slots :P

Dragod @ Nov 15th 2008 2:12PM

The best part about it having the armor isn't the armor itself... It's the fact that you can be called Master Chief. Personally, I think it's the best title you can get in the game.

NukeAssault @ Nov 15th 2008 2:18PM

lol i didn't know about that. That's pretty neat.

therpham @ Nov 15th 2008 2:21PM

Oh, I didn't know that. That's slightly entertaining.

However, the armour seems out of place and the sword is weak.

Is there supposed to be an extra dungeon or something? Then it might be worth it.

Dragod @ Nov 15th 2008 2:22PM

No dungeon, just the armor.

Markez @ Nov 15th 2008 2:25PM

Whatever you say, dumpling.

Alien Lord @ Nov 15th 2008 4:45PM

@therpham the sword has 3 augmentation slots and you get it at the beginning of the game. Now the sword you get at the end of the dungeon is lame, I had a far better sword by the time I got there, that and I use guns more.

Daniel Lawson @ Nov 15th 2008 2:27PM

:( I only got the regular one they didn't have the limited ed.

Trulz @ Nov 15th 2008 2:46PM

I had never heard of anything like this happening before, but it seems to be happening an awful lot lately with CD Keys and the like.

MBO @ Nov 15th 2008 2:46PM

It's about time!
even tho i didn't get fable II le.
or have a Xbox 360.
Still, I feel bad for the people who did get le.

Cubfan786 @ Nov 15th 2008 2:46PM

Off topic here but ive been thinking of a game that was supposedly being developed.
Its about some guy in NYC and from what i can rmr his hand turns into spikes or something like that and he can do a bunch of other things.

I know thats little infromation but im sure one of you guys here will know it.
