Peter Molynuex has an odd habit of over-promising features and technical accomplishments that one of his games, specifically on of his Fable games, will have. No matter how hard they try, the games seem to always launch without some sort of feature that they might have shown off or spoken about. That is why I find it endlessly ironic that Lionhead has announced that the Fable 2 Collector’s Edition will ship with less content than originally planned.

“The premium box, five printed fate cards, and Hobbe figure will not be available as part of the Limited Collector’s Edition. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

The price, however, has also been reduced. Whereas the original Collector’s Edition of Fable 2 was $79.99, the new bundle will be priced at $69.99, merely $10 more than the price of the standard copy of Fable 2. For that price, buyers will get a bonus DVD with new ‘Making-of’ Feature, bonus in-game content (which will be obtained online via Xbox Live), The Hall of the Dead’ Dungeon(which I believe is a map), The Wreckager Legendary Cutlass Weapon, Spartan armor and energy sword. Once you are done enjoying that, you might also want to check out the actual game, which is also included in the Collector’s Edition. Lionhead will also release the canceled “fate cards” as a PDF.
