    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!

    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?

    This might be the real deal, the Episode 1 content is only around 2 GBs, this DL is showing up on my 360 has 7 GBs.

    ... I'm way skeptical that they'll try to charge for it later or something... 
     
    But then, I did get a copy of Splinter Cell Conviction for $1, so anything is possible. 
     
    But I already own the disc version of the game, so I'm not sure if I should try this just cuz.

    I completely disliked Fable 1 and that memory prevented me from playing Fable 2.  Now that I can play it for free, I'll finally get a chance to see if it is any better.

    Oh shit, free game! I did try that Episode for Fable 2 and thought it was cool but never got around to buying the full game. Thanks for the heads up, OP. It's times like this that I wish I had better internet speed but it'll download eventually.

    That was a mistake apparently. the premium DLC is still premium and the free versions are still free.

    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.

    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.

    I queued it up for download, but my 360 is still busted. When my 360 gets fixed, hopefully the download will get started.

    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.

    So they replaced the episodic content with the full game and didn't remember to price it?

    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?

    It's just episode 1 guys, Jesus. The game still costs money. It says I've already purchased it because I'VE ALREADY DOWNLOADED EPISODE 1. Fuck. It's not the "full game".
