More Bad News For Fable 2

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

Yeah, to be honest it seems right now like they're rushing the game so that it'll be ready for the 24th...

You're assuming it's being rushed out simply because Microsoft and Lionhead screwed up the LE?

It's been ready since late July, FYI. They've simply spent the extra time bug-crunching while trying to optimize online co-op so it's actually playable online and not a giant clusterfuck, like, say, Castle Crashers was for many people (hence why it's they're going to just patch it in, like Rare did with Kameo).

A number of the non-believers here are going to be eating a lot of crow once it's released, I suspect...

No, I'm assuming it's being rushed out because two issues have arised in the past couple of weeks that should have been fixed if the game has been ready since July, FYI.

Just buy standard edition or limited and enjoy it.

If so then I may just have to get the special edition. Mainly so all the American nub cakes can suck up to me

Also more dungeons are always nice.

Also I'd rather have the cheaper price than all that tat.

1. Learn some grammar, please.
2. Yes, it is a big deal, just because you wasn't buying the special edition doesn't mean people who was don't care. =/
