I think because they had so many problems with the Big Daddy figurines from the Bioshock 1 CE, they didn't want to risk it happening again. A lot of the figurines ended up with their arms being broken off during shipping and they had to return them. It probably cost them a lot of extra money because of this.

The tip of the drill was broken on mine , but i just left it in the package anyway.

Yeah, that was the part I was talking about(although a few arms were totally broken off as well). I think a lot of people wanted them for their collectability and did not want a broken item(since the CE was pretty darned expensive). The drill on mine is intact, but I still left it in the package as well. It is sitting on top on the shelving around my television in my front room.

I was dissapointed w/ the Fable C CE.

Originally it was gonna have a Hobbe statuette , Tarot Cards , and the Halo Armor dlc and extra arcade games.

When it came out all it had was the dlc and a different cover sleeve and making of dvd.

LAME , as they maintained all the stuff was included untill 3 weeks before launch.

I heard about that. Was it like that everywhere, or just in certain parts of the world(I know that sometimes the European versions of CE vary from the US or Canadian ones)?

Wouldn't that be a pisser if they released a Fable 2 CE for the PC and it had all the extras that were originally listed as goodies for the XBox version?

As far as i know they removed all the physical items from all releases and just did the dlc bonuses.

When Fable 2 comes to pc it will more than likely just be the game and all the dlc expansions.

You're probably correct. I don't think they would want to alienate any of the fans who bought the game for the Xbox 360, and doing something like that would be a good way to do it.

Personally, I would be happy if Fable 2 came to the PC period(with DLC added, of course).

Ok i just went to Gamestop's web site , Fable 2 greatest hits w/ dlc is $30 now.

But no word on a pc release. Maybe you should save up and get an X-Box 360.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to play on two different systems(my Gamecube is basically just collecting dust as it is). Maybe if I see a cheap one at a garage sale or something I'll get one.

Be careful not to buy a busted one.

The red ring of death is still a problem for older systems.

The newer systems have a better motherboard and larger heat sinks so the red ring of death is hopefully in the past.

It's the biggest design flaw since that exhaust port on the Death Star.

I've heard many tales of the red ring of death(overheating? How could something that big get through quality control? Oh wait a sec...it's Microsoft and it was Christmas...all they cared about was selling as many units as possible for the Christmas bonanza). Isn't there a lawsuit going on with regards to that problem?

Was it the regular XBox that had the problem, or was it both the XBox and XBox 360? You would think the system would have went belly up due to people no longer buying one of those systems(especially since Microsoft originally said there was no problem), but I guess the buyers wanted that system.

I never heard of original X-Box overheating problems but the 360 was just rushed out.

People really love their X-Boxes , Halo had alot to do w/ creating a loyal fan base.

My original X-Box was a launch system and never once had any problems , i traded it in to get a 360 and had no problems w/ it ... then i traded it in because i wanted the Halo limited edition console.

I still don't own a PS3 but honestly , w/ my 360 and Wii and my PS2 i don't need one.

Will Heavy Rain change your mind?

I'm glad that you were lucky with regards to working XBoxes.
