Fable 3 and Xbox Live Gold sub discounted on Amazon

@MassDragonEffectAge It's not infrequent at all, actually. I decided, 3 years ago when Halo 3 "Super cat Helmet Edition" came out, to stop buying so-called "limited" editions because they're too expensive and are, these days, never, EVER really very limited at all. 6 months later I got Halo 3 SCHE, brand new, for $37 at Microcenter.

I did the same for the CE of God of War III (and by the way, there's nothing "high end" about its Pandora's Box replica--it's cheap garbage), and 5 months after it released I bought it for $40 at fry's.

I waited on Beatles Rock Band--and got it for $7.50 at Target.

In the past 3 years, I've basically waited on all but 2 or 3 titles (and I should have waited on those), and in EVERY instance I found them for between $10 and $30 just a very few months later, some even sooner.

End result: I no longer pay $59.99+ for games, EVER, even for the so-called "limited" editions (by limited, I've noticed, they mean "we'll stop making them when you stop buying them"), which unlike the old days, aren't limited anyway.

@MassDragonEffectAge

Mathematically, you're correct. If you wait, prices will drop. By that same logic though, trade-in values also drop in time. I bought Fable 3 brand new at $40, played it for a whole week+ (3 complete playthroughs), and traded it back in for $40. Net: $0.

@Faenix

amazon.ca?

@Faenix They do. Shipping will bump up the price by $10 most likely but since Amazon.ca rarely get deals like this it may still be cheaper.

@Faenix and any other Canadians

If you have a Canadian xbox live account, do not buy this!!! The CND and US cards don't work with each other.
So... no deal for Canadians.

@Richard Jae US too, sorry didn't read your comment before leaving mine below :)

@Softserve Keep in mind that it will renew your gold at $60 yearly automatically on your card if you go that route. You'll have to call support and go through hurdles to remove auto-renew. Cards are better IMHO.

@Flapjackal

Depends if you've played Fable or Fable 2. Those two games may show off the Fable universe a little better, from a pure gameplay and imagination perspective. Though, Fable 3's graphics are nice, and its world is larger.

@i77ogical I've never played a fable game.

@Flapjackal

I liked Fable 1 the best, but since it's an original Xbox game, the thing kept crashing on me near the end, so YMMV. Fable 2 kept most of what was great about Fable 1, so you might try that one. Fable 3 stripped away some stuff that I missed, but it has its merits as well, but I'd say, try Fable 2 first.

@i77ogical Thanks! : )

@Axcalibur
It's good in the U.S. My Gold expired on Monday and this Deal popped up on Tuesday. I'm gunna give Fable 3 a try.
