Fable II CE Cut Even Further

Mike Fahey of Kotaku writes:

"So the Fable II Collectors Edition box set has been trimmed a little, losing the five printed fate cards, the Hobbe figure, and..oh yes, the box. Still, we still get a bonus DVD with developer diaries and the full game soundtrack, right? Perhaps not."

1 - I hope you get a rebate for every piece they cut.
The only thing you get that's worth anything is the in-game extra armor and weapons.

They all over-promise and under-deliver.

Also, LOL Kotaku isn't news.

so why are they even bothering to continue offering Fable II CE? All this you'd think they'd just say to hell with it and just release the standard. Oh, yeah, all those unsuspecting fools who'll still spend the extra money thinking they're getting some cool CE only to realize they've been had. buy yeah, why even bother, just axe it altogether if you ask me.

It's an anticipated title nonetheless. SO, I guess I'll just pick up the regular edition. It's still going to be a great game. Actually, I've made it my crusade to dissuade people from buying those collector's edition versions of games. It's not worth it, and you're just showing them they can gouge the prices of games even further.

Warhammer Online is the best value CE I have seen in a long time.

Most companies just try to throw a extra "making of/behind scenes" DVD on the side. Which all the basic info can be found on the internet.

I have Fable 2 preordered and will pick up day 1 along with LBP same day, but there is NO way I will be picking up CE for Fable...the Spartan Master Chief armor should of been included in the game in the first place.

BTW: I wonder when online Coop works, if your friend has CE spartan armor, can you goto his world and get it also? O_o

Wow, I've never seen a Limited Edition version of a game get it's contents cut out before the game released. I guess all of the extra items couldn't be ready in time for Fable 2's official release or something because I really can't think of any other reason as to why the other items would get dropped.

It was way too much stuff for the price I think.

I love Fable but I could care less about any of that extra crap.

I bought the following as CE:

Lost Planet (...a CD as an extra???? WTF??? nice box though)

NFS: Carbon (making of features, definitely NOT worth it)

Gears of War (nice black tin box and red symbol, nice art booklet, but not worth it)

Prey (ticked me off the MOST! it's dirt cheap now for BOTH versions!)

Halo3 (probably the best of the bunch, but still not worth it...I do like the black box and blue symbol though:)

That said, I don't think we should encourage further price gouging. $60 is asking much, and anything over is just f*cking redonkulous.

Just like the developer. It over hypes and then cuts out everything good at the last minute.

They didn't cut anything out of the game itself.

If you're talking about the original, get over it.

Yep just got my call from Gamestop, they said it'll only include the bonus DVD (with the cut stuff) and the bonus in game content...price has been dropped to $69.99 vs the $79.99 it was at...

Now not too sure if I wanna keep my CE preorder...an extra $10 just for

. The Hall of the Dead Dungeon
. The Wreckager Legendary Cutlass Weapon
. Spartan armor and energy sword

And a bonus DVD that got 1 of the most interesting aspects cut out of it...(developer diaries)

Eh....

11.1 - Finally, someone brought febreeze into this stinking bull fest...
Bubbles for successfully "assassynating" the several idiotic, and downright dumb arguments within this thread. Make sure you give the head two more shots, and then drop the gun...
