1 - Lol

WHy do they even put the free download in there. You know its free because it was one of the features of the game that was suppose to be in it before it went gold. If they charged for that than that would be false advertising... Anyways I hope this will turn out great I played the first fable and it was good.

patchbox FTW?? pretty stupid comment if you ask me, the ps3 console is the one getting constant patches ... 2.40 , 2.41 , 2.42 , 2.43 , 2.50 anyone?? and yes all 5 of these are real patches. and those are just within a .1 diffrence, yea so after looking at the facts it ends up your the one with the patchbox FW 2.5

1.5 - I'm suspicious that they put free in there.

I hope they don't make people buy it after the first day or week. Then again its Microsoft they like to make you pay for just about everything on Live even when the dev wants to make it free.

6 - This is 1 game of many I have reserved and fully paid off

$357 on games for me. Dead Space, LBP, Fable 2 (collectors edition), Gears 2 (collectors edition), Resistance 2 (collectors edition). Not including Homecoming that I bought up 2 weeks ago. Im about to add Mirrors Edge and MK vs DC to the list as well. I don't want to miss out on great gaming this holiday, obviously!.

PS = I also noticed today that the Best Buy ad in the paper today had the original $80 collectors edition of Fable 2 pictured, and have the CE for $80. I can see some unaware PO'D people on Tuesday... bet BB will have their hands full of people who didn't get the memo!

I'm sure i remember people bashing the dev/game/wateva because of them saying that it would not make it into the disc but will be patched probably within the 1st week.

Edit:
Can anyone tell me if i can buy 360 games overseas and play them on my 360 here in aus?

My list so far is:
LFD
GeoW 2
Fable 2
Far Cry 2
annnddd
PRINCE OF PERSIA..Why does noone mention this game :(
Anyways that's around $500 all up

11.1 - Depends

If Oz is a different region then no. THe Devs have the option to but I can only remeber RR6 as being region free

POP: appart from the very first one that fitted on a floppy, I always had trouble with the 3d one. Maybe because it was because I was trying to use a keyboard and mouse. Anyway UBI soft keep release POP at the wrong time. No more money or time to stretch to that one.

You are wrong.

Everyone that owns a 360 that I know is psyched for Fable 2.

Also the Reviews embargo hasn't been lifted for Fable 2 yet.

Dilbert.

Innovation is a huge factor for LBP getting high scores.

LBP 2 will get 8's.
Because it will be the same good game but nothing groundbreaking.

Its definatly a statement that you sonyfans would rather play with your webkin/sackboys than a real game like Fable 2.. Hey truth be told Fable 2 is for the gaming ADULT while LBP is for the webkin loving beany baby fan out there with no real gaming skill.. Its nice to see that the PS3 is getting some AAA loving. Eventhough both seem to be alittle overrated, and not to mention there best one being a webkin wannaby game where you play with your sack....... While the 360 is definatly catering to the adult gamer. I am guessing the next PS3 game will be Littlebigbarbie?

lol ya excited 360 games work out of the box. It's a beautiful thing to buy a game and play it right away on 360. I feel for you. However, if they do patch something it improves the game [Fable 2 works without this patch, this adds COOP]. And what do ya know zero wait time for the patch! Unheard of on PS3 right?
