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.

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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
