I kind of liked the original Fable, even if the first half or so of it was fairly generic, so I decided to take a chance on Fable 2 after some decent previews. In fact I even preordered the Collector’s Edition of it from Amazon. But then they cut back on the Collector’s Edition, removing the Hobbe figure and some cards. That wasn’t too big a deal, and they reduced the price to compensate.

I just received it today though, and upon opening it I discovered that the DLC code card necessary for the in-game Collector’s Edition extras is missing. Apparently this is happening to quite a few people, and nobody’s sure how it’s going to be fixed, since they haven’t really acknowledged the problem yet and it’s hard to prove you didn’t get something you should have.

So, in the end, all I really have is a regular Fable 2 game that I paid $13 more than I should have for, with a bonus DVD of stuff that’s already on the web. Yay.

Update: Looks like there’s a resolution, though it’ll take a while to get the codes out. Fortunately I’m not in a hurry at the moment.
