Fable 2 free on XBLM?
Oooh, hang on. The link to get Episode 1 (the free trial deal from a few months ago) is gone now. So what if this is the new format of that, and we're downloading the full game and then have to pay to access past the Episode 1 end point?
" Bunch of users over at CheapAssGamer says it works and it's the full game. Even Gamepro tweeted about it. Not sure what the deal is here, but I don't mind downloading it. "Well that's pretty awesome. Makes me feel better about wasting time downloading a 7GB file. :P
I look forward to jumping back into good ole Fable 2.
As I said earlier, it works :P
My saves near the end (just before heading off to take care of the big baddy) can be loaded and I just made a new character past the intro.
Free game yay!

I'm going to see my fam... screw them, I'm gonna see my dog again!!
This is pissing me off so bad. I seem to be the only one who can't download it.
I have tried Firefox, Chrome, IE 8, IE 9 Beta and it's still not letting me queue it up.
" @JJWeatherman: This is pissing me off so bad. I seem to be the only one who can't download it. I have tried Firefox, Chrome, IE 8, IE 9 Beta and it's still not letting me queue it up. "Try signing out and back in. Maybe that will trigger an update. What country are you in?
I'm in the USA. I'm also a silver member. Maybe that has something to do with it..
I am going to try what you said to see if it works.
You're checking the website, not the console marketplace, right?" @JJWeatherman: nope. I have gold and I live in the england. Everything is full priced except for the stripped down versions of the dlc, which have always been free. "

" @JJWeatherman: Erm, that might have been where my mistake was...THANK YOU. But how do I get the dlc for free now? It seems they still want me to pay for that. "That was a mistake apparently. the premium DLC is still premium and the free versions are still free.
Have fun with the game!
" I want to queue it up to see if it's actually free, but I keep getting this message.I get the same thing...thought maybe they rolled out the new update today..signed on...nothing. Maybe they'll market this free download after the update but i dunno why some people say they've gotten as far as DLing it.
"This content cannot be purchased from Xbox LIVE Web Marketplace because you do not have the latest Xbox LIVE update on your console. Please log into Xbox LIVE with your console before purchasing content from Web Marketplace."
Anyone know why it won't let me do it?

I'm in the US by the way.
Finally got it. I was using Chrome and whenever I pressed the "Download to Xbox" a window would pop up but none of the text would show up. I switched to internet explorer and it worked. Just in case anyone was having the same problem.
I'm excited :) Free games get me excited.
Yea, it's really annoying. I'm a silver member, by the way. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or what. I'm also in the U.S.
You guys are talking about the download at the bottom of the page not the "full game" link at the top right? Because i queued up the one at the bottom which is free and it says "content type - full game" but the one at the top says $19.99.
Just to be clear, you guys ARE trying to DL this from Xbox.com and not the marketplace on the console, right?
This is where you need to go to que it up on your console:
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5307f1/?did=00000001-0000-4000-8000-00004d5307f1&bt=0&sb=1&mt=4&gu=66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5307f1&p=1&of=6
So they replaced the episodic content with the full game and didn't remember to price it?
Fantastic.
if i click on the "full game" button it says $19.99. If i click on Download to Xbox 360 - FREE i get:
Sorry

I'd be interested to know if anyone that has downloaded the game doesn't have the beta dashboard. Maybe this is some kind of exclusive for beta users? I'd guess that that's not the case, but who could say at this point?

I mentioned that i do not have the beta update..can everyone here that has DLed it confirm that they do have the Beta? that seems the most likely situation.

I don't got the beta dashboard.
Downloaded it and it works fine, been playing around with it and all my saves work, a new save also works beyond the child part.
