Claim your Fable 2 DLC redemption codes
As was promised, Lionhead and Microsoft have setup a method for those Fable II CE purchasers who didn't receive the redemption code to get their promised DLC. Silly game packaging mixups.
To claim your free Fable II DLC code, simply head over to the Xbox.com support page and enter your Windows Live ID here. Once filled out and submitted, Microsoft will email your Fable II DLC redemption code within' five business days. Easy as cake! But don't drag your feet too long, because this offer is only available until December 31st. Oh, and don't try to scam the system ...
[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

I guess I just added some corruption points to my character.... hahaha

Erm... So how do I prove I have the Limited Collectors Edition? I didn't get my code in the box and have waited a week for my redeem code :\.
Shall I like play the DVD that comes with it? That proves it I guess?
Jacks.P @ Dec 16th 2008 12:49PM
lol i got my free code just now, you don't need to prove it.
SavageGrampa @ Oct 29th 2008 2:54PM
Does this also provide the pub games through XBLA?
I'm so pissed I bought the stupid limited edition. The only saving grace is that I got it through Amazon and only paid $66, no shipping, and no tax.
Internet meme alert...
Fable II launch --> EPIC FAIL
Brian @ Oct 29th 2008 3:07PM
No, Only the Armor
DemonGSides @ Oct 30th 2008 5:29PM
I paid 46 dollars for it through Amazon and got it Tuesday morning. Woot for hitting every possible deal combination possible.
This still makes it seem less worth it.
Delgado @ Oct 29th 2008 2:56PM
I think the right thing to do would be to set up something like 2K did for Bioshock defects - give people the Hobbe bobbleheads and cards (whatever was in the original package) at a later time, say by sending in proof of purchase?
As far as I've heard - correct me if I'm wrong - but they weren't included because of manufacturing problems, right? So... correct those problems, produce the extra items, and send them out to CE owners as a "sorry, our bad, even though we lowered the price."
DarkDesires @ Nov 15th 2008 9:09PM
what about those of us that ordered the Limited Collectors Edition, got the code for the armor and the extra wepoan and dungeon. We still deserve the other bits that were there when we pre-ordered it. I pre-ordered mine because of what i was getting and thought 'Good Buy' then when they cut it down i couldnt cancel. So not just for everone who didnt get a code, it should be for everyone who purchased the LCE, because we were screwed over too!
Neuromancer @ Oct 29th 2008 3:01PM
Fable 2 and Saints Row 2 both screwed me over with promises of exclusive in-game content with preorders/limited editions, neither of which ended up being exclusive at all. It really makes me want to stop preordering games at all.
OptimumEDGE @ Oct 29th 2008 3:01PM
You're still good if you're corrupt right? ... right?
ScottishPrik @ Oct 29th 2008 5:20PM
Only in America.
Mauricio @ Oct 29th 2008 3:06PM
Fable 2 has taught me that i have the right to choose to scam or not to scam the system.
I'll deal with the consequences if/when they come. For now, i'll take some free DLC please!
BURGZ @ Oct 29th 2008 3:11PM
Hehe, just scammed it, highly doubt it will work though, owell heres for hope...
Ghen @ Oct 30th 2008 11:37AM
worked for some okami art on the wii, I didn't even buy the game and just got a package in the mail lol.
Gudaman @ Oct 29th 2008 3:14PM
why cant we scam the system? i would love to get some free CE DLC but i know its not the right thing to do so i wont...
Kevin Gass @ Oct 29th 2008 3:04PM
lol at dont scam the system....
cause I already did xD
prence @ Oct 29th 2008 3:30PM
Well then, I'd like to see them prove that I don't have a copy of Fable 2 CE sitting on a shelf at my house.
Like someone else already said, Fable 2 is letting us choose our own destiny and I choose the evil scamming Microsoft for free DLC path.
Ryan @ Oct 29th 2008 3:36PM
Haha I am gladd that I am not alone with this making the choice between good and evil :P. But will the code also work after december 31 ?
Grant @ Oct 29th 2008 3:37PM
they could have at least used some other piece of CE pack-ins to verify you have that version a la 1980's copyright protection. "What is word 5 on the bottom of map insert."
oh well, their laziness is our gain!
Neuromancer @ Oct 29th 2008 3:55PM
Haha nice
I'd like to see code wheels again while we're at it
Boff @ Oct 30th 2008 8:45AM
:o)
Good times
craig64 @ Oct 29th 2008 3:40PM
Is it scamming if you planned on buying the CE but didn't due to fear of not getting the DLC card in the case? I think not!
Skandil @ Oct 29th 2008 4:01PM
... Yes.
Hotaru Tomoe @ Oct 29th 2008 3:43PM
Its entirely possible that there is something about the disk, like a code imbedded in it somewhere that will be checked when putting the DLC in. Mabye if you try and didnt really buy the LE version your "evil" will shoot all the way up and you wont get the DLC or something. Which would be kinda funny to see.
Neuromancer @ Oct 29th 2008 3:56PM
You have a point, when I put in the code for my LE version all I downloaded was a 108KB key which means the content was already on the disc. Maybe the regular version doesn't have that.
prence @ Oct 29th 2008 4:18PM
Eh, my evil is already as far up as it can go anyway ;X Even if that is true, at least we'll all get a free copy of Pub Games.
AkmGamer @ Oct 29th 2008 4:26PM
Issac's helmet is also awesome!
Mauricio @ Oct 29th 2008 4:40PM
There is no absolute way that Microsoft can tell if you have bought the LE version.
The only thing they can know for sure is if you've put a LE DVD in your xbox or not, but that still doesnt prove you didnt buy a LE version, right?
Serio @ Oct 30th 2008 1:58AM
True, they can't. But you can't use the code without the Limited Edition. All it downloads is the key(Code key, not key key) to unlock the content on the disc.
nomadic0ne @ Oct 29th 2008 4:54PM
No offense to anyone trying to get this, but I hope they have SOME sort of way to verify you have the CE game.
I pre-ordered the CE for all the extra stuff.
Then they stripped the physical content and the custom case.
Then they gave the free soundtrack that anyone could download.
That left me thinking, well...at least I'm getting exclusive content.
...
Not anymore.
With no verification, anyone can get the content.
If that's the case, then I should have just bought the normal game and eventually I would have had all the extras for free!
*sigh*
I love Fable II, but Lionhead did a VERY poor job of ensuring their launch went smoothly.
I will be slightly more cautious when it comes to buying their games in the future.
Sumkrazyguy @ Oct 29th 2008 5:30PM
I'm pure and evil. I'm pure evil. (: lol
yay for scaming the system. It works XD
CharleyTony @ Oct 29th 2008 6:12PM
I aggree, we will see if corruption is calculated outside the game ,,,
I did "not" receive the dlc codes... what's a CE ?
OptimumEDGE @ Oct 29th 2008 6:55PM
I seriously hope they decide to give away the fable pub games for free for like a couple days or something. Trying to grab the codes of their site is friggen' redonkulous.
Flakundenga @ Oct 30th 2008 12:16AM
i agree. normally i'll say it's impossible, stupid but ur word is so hilarious. so yeah it's "redonkulous" lmao
Conor @ Oct 30th 2008 9:56AM
hmmm
*Try's to cheat the system....
Highimpact1 @ Oct 30th 2008 7:43PM
Don't worry as long as you give someone some chocolate your purity should be back up in no time!
Another life lesson learned from Fable II! =D
Byrne71 @ Nov 3rd 2008 3:01PM
I will NEVER per-order a game again! I was so looking forward to Fable 2 that I foolishly pre-ordered the Limited Edition and first was screwed out of the extras that should have come with it, then the DLC which didn't arrive with my copy. Then, they tell me in five days
I'll get my content. I checked again today and now it's 10 days! It's like having unprotected sex for the first time, You're so looking forward to it then, a week later it burns like hell when you pee. Very disappointing. Next time I'll just light my money on fire! At least I'll see that coming.
Daniel @ Nov 9th 2008 3:07AM
I don't see how its scamming the system, its free content which SHOULD have been in the game anyway.
I bought the LE version here in the UK and when I tried to use the code its already been used! tried ringing the helpline and go put through to a retard in India and spent and hour on the phone just trying to verify me!
Davy @ Nov 14th 2008 4:39AM
Anyone else STILL not received the email?
jeff @ Dec 15th 2008 5:46PM
this is BS! it has been 11 days and still have not gotten the code! And are we suposed to prove we have the CE.
Jeremy! @ Dec 17th 2008 10:49PM
Hey, anyone know what the consequences are?
zdub @ Jan 2nd 2009 11:49AM
hey if you put in your windows id before dec 31st, will the email containing the codes still come after december 31st?
dominick @ Jan 22nd 2009 3:22PM
