Shhh! Listen closely for a sec. Hear that? That’s the sound of enraged gamers around the world heaving a huge sigh of disappointment and angrily canceling their pre-orders for the Fable II<\/em><\/a> Collector’s Edition.<\/p>\n

Why’s that? Simple, really. As announced last night on the Lionhead dev blog, Microsoft has had to readjust the Collector’s Edition due to “supply chain issues.” That readjustment is actually more like a gutting, though. The premium box, fate art cards, and Hobbe figurine — you know, the main items that made the Collector’s Edition a Collector’s Edition — have all been axed. All’s that’s left now is the “Making of…” disc and bonus DLC including the extra dungeon, weapon and Master Chief costume<\/a>. The price on the CE has subsequently been cut by $10, but $70 for additional content many other games offer as pre-order freebies is hardly worth it. This package certainly isn’t deserving of being called a Collector’s Edition any more. <\/p>\n

In an effort to make amends, Microsoft and Lionhead are going to be making available downloadable PDF versions of the Fate Cards for users to print themselves and a free mini-album of music from both Fable<\/em> and Fable II<\/em> (downloadable via sumthingdigital.com beginning Oct. 6th). The free music is great, but is anyone really going to print the cards from their home PC?<\/p>\n
