Fable 2’s Collectors Edition Subject to Change

by Roly Reyes on October 1, 2008 at 7:27 pm

Fable 2 is done. No, really, it’s for real this time. As we speak, it’s already being pressed to discs, manufactured, and otherwise tarted up for it’s release on October 21, 2008 for North America and Asia, and October 24, 2008 for Europe. But that’s not the story, the real story is you see that package of awesome above?

Do you have any irrational impulse to own it? Have you even already gone as far as pre-ordering it? Tough. Because you see all that? Almost all of it’s gone. But not all is lost, the price has been dropped from a $79.99 to a more conventional $69.99 (both figures are in USD, so convert accordingly).

This looks like a glass half-empty or half-full situation. On one hand, you’re losing some arguably rad content, but on the other, you’re saving some arguably sweet $10.00 — just think how many dollar menu burgers you’ll be able to get with those!

The original Fable 2 Collectors Edition was originally set to include:

Bonus DVD – Includes new ‘Making-of Feature’ with Peter Molyneux and the team at Lionhead Studios and concept art viewer

Bonus In-Game Content (Requires LIVE account) – Includes “The Hall of the Dead” Dungeon, “The Wreckager” Legendary Cutlass Weapon and Otherworldly Bonus

Collectible Hobbe figure with accessories – From the Qee Collection comes this one-of-a-kind Hobbe figure. Nasty, brutish, and short, he roams the countryside, preying on travelers and spiriting away the children of the unwary.

48-hour Xbox LIVE Gold Trial Card – With Xbox LIVE Gold, players can show off their individual hero by inviting friends into their unique version of Albion or they can visit their friends’ Albion, and earn additional gold, experience and renown to take back into their own.

Five printed Fate Cards – These five beautiful cards foretell the Hero’s great destiny to journey across all of Albion, encountering deadly enemies and enigmatic allies. The path leads to a choice that will change the world forever.

But for paying less, you’ll also get less. This is the revised, price-reduced Fable II Collectors Edition:

Fable II game disc

Bonus DVD with new ‘Making-of’ Feature

Bonus in-game content (requires Xbox LIVE®)

‘The Hall of the Dead’ Dungeon

‘The Wreckager’ Legendary Cutlass Weapon

Spartan armor and energy sword

Basically, you’re losing the premium box, printed cards, and statue. Although, Sam, Lionhead’s Community Manager, has mentioned that the box art will be the same as the one seen above, and that they’re going to release the cards in PDF format for fans to print and enjoy.
