Fable II Pub Games Free w/pre-order
I’ve been trying to thrust myself into the Fable 2 fandom for a while and I think this new deal from Microsoft and Lionhead may help tremendously. When there’s free involved it’s hard not to help especially when that free includes three (3) Xbox Live Arcade games.
Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios announced that consumers who pre-order a copy of the Xbox 360™ exclusive, Fable II, at participating retailers worldwide, will be given free access to download the Fable II Pub Games when they are released this August. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade, fans can transfer the gold earned in these casino-style mini-games to the world of Fable II, when the game is available later this year.
The final names of the Xbox LIVE Arcade Fable II Pub Games (which will be available as one download) are: Keystone, which is a combination of Craps and Roulette, Spinnerbox, which is an updated take on slot machines, and Fortune’s Tower, which is a press your luck style of game. The download will also include a Shell, which is a tutorial of all three games.
If you don’t pre-order, the games will be available for 800 Microsoft Points. Keystone, Spinnerbox and Fortune’s Tower will also be embedded as part of the full retail copy of Fable II (limited collector’s and standard editions). Why wait though when you can start earning that Fable II gold next month? I’m all in.

I need to swing by my local GameStop and see if they will have codes. I’ve already got mine reserved. Looking forward to the Pub Games.

i’d be careful with GameStop. they messed up the Bad Company pre-order deal for a lot of people.

hmm then where do I pre-order? Fry’s Electronics?
July 8th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
it depends on which retailer of course lol. i’m sure GameStop, Best Buy…hopefully Blockbuster will be participating.

Im gunna go preorder it right now!!

I don’t feel right pre ordering a game that doesn’t even have a release date, but this bonus is enough for a lot of people to fork over the cash.

Last I heard was around November. I’m not worried about GameStop so much, I’ll see what they say. This is only the 3rd title I’ve reserved really. I reserved Halo 3 and CoD4, but I end up picking up CoD4 later and moved my money over to Fable 2.

Ooo…if Blockbuster is in on the deal I’m totally pre-ordering. Hrm…I think i’ll give mine a call now and see.

OMG he must be getting free rentals at that joint as often as he plugs it… Blockbuster, I am waiting for the flashing banner ad.

Wow….I love Fable, but I don’t think I need an early start on gold farming for Fable 2.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:47 am
lol i don’t plug Blockbuster frequently.

Has anyone managed to get a pre-order code yet? Currently no one here has the offer going.
July 10th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
they probably won’t release the code until the games release.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I think EB Games/Gamestop has the offer i might pre order from there in a few days.

I just downloaded the PUB games and tried my code I got from Gamestop and it doesn’t work… It says it is an invalid code.
