Amazon lists Fable II LE for $13 less than retail

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 26th 2008 at 4:15PM }

It looks like Amazon is looking to grab the attention of 360 RPG gamers, because the company is currently listing the Fable II Limited Collector's Edition for $66.99, a full $13.00 off the retail price. Our instinct is to believe it must be an incorrect listing, but the page makes it quite clear that the listed price is 16% off retail and it includes the correct October 21 release date. So, if you're looking for some Fable goodness on the cheap (don't forget that pre-ordering at Amazon also nabs you the Fable II Pub Games for free), head over to Amazon and snatch one of these babies up. If you do so successfully, be sure to mention it in the comments!

[Thanks, Saeth]

pre-order is done and with prime i get the release day delivery free. i actually had this pre-ordered at $80 but cancelled it last week.

jason leighty @ Aug 26th 2008 4:24PM

one-click pre order done!

Andrew @ Aug 26th 2008 4:29PM

Can you cancel the pre order after you've gotten the code?

LiqwidZero @ Aug 26th 2008 5:06PM

Probably, but they will more than likely deduct the $10 cost of the Pub Games.

RacrSoldr @ Aug 26th 2008 8:02PM

they only give you the code after game gets mailed

yo @ Aug 27th 2008 6:39PM

i preordered it weeks ago. they send out the code a couple of days after you order it. I checked the status today, and amazon has dropped my preorder price to 66.99. Nicccceeeee. didn't even have to ask.

Fire Fawkes @ Aug 26th 2008 4:32PM

I pre ordered but I don't see where they say you get the pub games code...I hope they are still honoring that. Either way, I canceled my 79.99 gamestop pre order and grabbed this deal instead. (gamestop didn't send me the pub games code either)

prdstexas @ Aug 26th 2008 4:45PM

Glad I waited to pre-order! Ended up paying a total of $72.97 with shipping ($67 + $6), and it will arrive on Tuesday, Aug 21st. Not a bad deal!

Mics @ Aug 26th 2008 4:54PM

O RLY?

RockerAnimeFreak @ Aug 26th 2008 8:28PM

How did it arrive in the past?

Zakarobo @ Aug 26th 2008 9:12PM

Honestly, I have no clue... :P

Sorry, I did mean October 21!

Gordfras @ Aug 26th 2008 4:46PM

They had my order two weeks ago and automatically reduced it to the lower price. I am also getting on release day. :)

Mr Awesomer @ Aug 26th 2008 5:03PM

Same here.

Matt @ Aug 26th 2008 5:10PM

Ditto.

Gordfras @ Aug 26th 2008 4:53PM

I ordered mine two weeks ago and saw today that the price was reduced. It is also coming on release day. :)

Rando @ Aug 26th 2008 4:55PM

Buy.com says this about the code:
"Codes will be sent out on/around the day of release."

offday @ Aug 26th 2008 5:14PM

I'm pretty sure buy.com is retarded then.

xboxgrend @ Aug 26th 2008 5:06PM

I checked my preorder made 2 weeks ago; the price on my order has been retroactively lowered by $13... very nice.

Pasha @ Aug 26th 2008 5:08PM

I figure since i'd pay $63 at Gamestop with taxes, $3 more the LE would not be a bad deal. I chose to be patient, and got the free delivery option.

DBoyFlex @ Aug 26th 2008 5:56PM

Same, free shipping. I was gonna wait till Christmas and get it then and Fallout on release, but this deal did it for me. Fallout will wait till Christmas and Fable on release (plus a few days shipping). I don't mind waiting a few extra days. I am in school anyways, so an extra few days shipping is not always a bad thing.

ChomskyKnows @ Aug 26th 2008 5:12PM

excellent info. already pre-ordered there anyway, but still good info for the kids. They have a policy that if they lower the price of an item you've already pre-ordered, you get the lower price.

DukeFett @ Aug 26th 2008 5:22PM

I first read that as Amazon offers Fable II LE for $13. My first reaction was, there's no way they're gonna honor these orders haha

Kneon @ Aug 26th 2008 5:25PM

Regardless i'd rather just go to gamestop. i'd like to have the pub game now. and midnight releases are always fun. amazon has a good deal, dont get me wrong, i just really enjoy my gamestop, the people make it for me. :)

alex @ Aug 26th 2008 5:50PM

You must work at Gamestop, the people their SUCK!

Justice Kibbe @ Aug 26th 2008 9:48PM

Yeah, the people at Gamestop do suck.

strangevisitor @ Aug 28th 2008 12:03PM

Lame. Gamestop doesn't appreciate you, why go on forums and spout free ads for them?

Levon @ Aug 26th 2008 5:55PM

No artwork book? that'd seal the deal for me. fate cards? what the hell are those? I love the Fable art and a book would've been awesome...I'll be buying the SE, maybe they'll release a seperate art book.

Arnon @ Aug 26th 2008 11:01PM

You'd be missing out on a lot of in-game content..

Complete new dungeon
Master Chief Armor (Fable-ized)
A special sword

and some other stuff I believe.. This is the kind of stuff that Limited Editions need to come with.. I don't care to buy stuff for a small figurine (even though that Hobb looks awesome). I would rather have In-game content.

informer @ Aug 26th 2008 6:05PM

This is probably in response to CC selling it for $69.99, $10 less than retail.

DBoyFlex @ Aug 26th 2008 6:26PM

I just pre-ordered it here. When will I get my pub code? A few days?

Saeth @ Aug 27th 2008 6:02AM

Awesome, thanks for posting my tip.

Planning on preordering this because of this price drop.

LuckyEMS @ Aug 26th 2008 7:19PM

awesome people from the UK shop at shopto.com because they send stuff out a day early

Kamal @ Aug 26th 2008 7:26PM

I got my order in. Now I am wondering about the Pub Games also.

grigdog @ Aug 26th 2008 7:37PM

Just ordered mine. Hope to get the pub games code soon, before my Xbox returns from its RROD repair.

DBoyFlex @ Aug 26th 2008 9:21PM

Random question, but I heard (never played) the first Fable was a bit on the short side. No, I am not comparing this to Oblivion or Fallout. I have heard that for years. Anyways, that is not my question. My question is: How long is this game supposed to be? Longer than the first I hope? As long as Oblivion? Half as long? Has anything been said? I am just curious as I do not recall having heard anything and I hope it is a long game with great replay value.

Arnon @ Aug 26th 2008 11:02PM

If you had to grind through the story, it would be 12-15 hours.. which is actually longer than Oblivion if you were to grind through it.

Desestruction582 @ Aug 26th 2008 9:52PM

Well I pre-ordered mine and I haven't gotten an update, so I might cancel it, then get it again. So with that $13 off I can get like 1000 MSP so I can like get Duke Nukem 3D or something.

Snowman @ Aug 26th 2008 10:53PM

Man there are gonna be some really pissed off e-tailers when they see how much Amazon is under cutting them. But man am I happy to see this deal!!!

Secre @ Aug 26th 2008 11:51PM

Aw, crap! I should have bought that instead of the Tales of Vesperia LE set. Now I have to wait two weeks and hope it doesn't change xP.

Meh, story of my life. About two weeks after I buy my 360, I find out the system's gonna have a price drop in another month. Not only could I have saved some more to buy more games, I could have saved the money that went to buying the system itself. My timing sucks T.T...

Thor79 @ Aug 27th 2008 12:13AM

Thanks for the heads up. Hadn't yet pre-ordered but as soon as I saw this I snapped it up along with a copy of Force Unleashed...both arriving on their Release Day. Note: if you're not premiere you'll be paying the release day charge per item...so I ended up with about $12 in shipping combined...I don't mind though.

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 27th 2008 12:40AM

are you sure it's $69.99? Because it's being sold at $79.99 now

thor79 @ Aug 27th 2008 1:12AM

Yes it was...it's sitting in my order tracking screen at $66.99. Since I ordered it the price has been raised back up to the standard price. It was either an oops or a short time promotion for preorders. Either way it's gone now.

martin @ Aug 27th 2008 7:38AM

Meh. It's not worth the extra work to cancel my LE preorder and get this, plus I like having games on the release date. I don't trust Amazon, anyways, after they screwed up like 17 different orders due to incompetence. Plus our local UPS/FedEx/USPS guys are all retards. When I got my Wii back from repair in December, he delivered it a few blocks away, even though the right address was on the box.
