Not really important, but Larry Hyrb (Major Nelson) just announced a Fable 3 Limited Edition Wireless Controller. Comes with a downloadable Tattoo pack for your hero.

After reading that list of features, I'm looking forward to the co-op and being able to buy and sell weapons online, awesome!

I kinda want it.

Good deal, hell you can get it with next day shipping and still only pay a little over $60.

Re: Fable III

Newegg has it for $45 with free shipping and no tax. Amazon has it for $60 + shipping + tax and you get a $20 credit towards a future purchase. They're both pretty even since you would pay shipping and tax on the future purchase as well but if you have Amazon Prime, then the Amazon deal would slightly edge out the Newegg deal.

Re: Fable III

Except Amazon isn't offering the $20 credit on the Collector's Edition *sigh*.

Re: Fable III

Amazon has free shipping on anything over $40. At least in Canada. The US site doesn't have that? I think I'll wait for the PC version anyway depending what the bonus is for having a Fable II save.

Amazon offers "Free Super Saver Shipping" that is selectable only if your order totals $25 and is 5-7 day estimate.

Re: Fable III

It's normally 3 for me. Ships on tuesday and is there on friday. Except for Mafia II last week. That shipped on wensday so I didn't get it until today. I'm also sure $60 totals more than $40.

i think amazon only charges tax for NY, and like somebody else said, free shipping over 25 bucks.

Definitely not only for NY. I have to pay tax every time I order from them.

Re: Fable III

Can you carry over your save from Fable 2? I want to say I remember reading that but I'm not sure. If so, I need to go back and get my guy good again. Went on a killing spree and talked to the archaeologist guy and it auto saved after I killed townspeople for like an hour and a half...

Yes your hero from Fable 2 becomes the father of the hero you play as in Fable 3 I believe.
