Not worth it for me... sorry

I've never bought a limited/collector's edition and this won't change that.

i hope it comes to the pc, not sure about buying the le though.

The collector's editions are never worth it in my mind.  They usually get real cheap, real fast, especially for a game like Fable that will sell moderately well, but not be a humongous hit.

Not bothering with the collectors edition, I'll probably get the digital download version of it though. 
 
I do hope they bother to port Fable 2 to PC before they release the third part.

The box looks so much like the Alan Wake collector's edition

So then we should hear the first story about an element of the edition being dropped in about a month, right?   Followed shortly by the dropping of every single other element in the box?  
 
I got burned BAD on the CE for Fable 2.  Not falling for that trick again.  All it ended up basically being was some different box art.  But they dropped the price by $5, so they weren't really taking customers for a ride!

There are some games that would obviously benefit from being on a PC. Fable 3 is not one of them.
 
 

"So...hey. PC achievement points. Great."

Not interested unless it also comes with Peter Molyneux's balls.

Let's see what the European limited edition looks like. They usually suck. Should they have the same content though, they should be worth the extra 20 bucks.

I want Fable 2 on PC first.

Maybe the PC version will have a less contrived multiplayer aspect. 
edit 
Or maybe Molyneux is hoping someone will make something crazy with the SDK by making theirs more userfriendly. I could see him spinning a "make content for us" thing into some huge milestone.

Cool PC version. Kinda wish it wasn't a GFWL exclusive, but oh well.

Meh, Fable, to me, was always a console game.

Do I even waste money on this game? I mean, the limited edition has some nice selling points, but in all honesty I'm sick of being let down by all these promises of a great game. Molyneux can promise whatever he wants. But until they finish the gameplay for their story (looking at you Final chapters of Fable 2) I'm not wasting another cent with this shit show franchise.

Definitely going to pick up the PC version. I'll likely pick up the limited edition, if they do one for PC.

Not really interested in this, a pass for me!
 
Nice write up though.

Nice, i missed out on fable 2 since it missed the pc, but i'm not happy that it's only going to be available through games for windows live. 
 
Also, so...natal support for pc, right?  RIGHT?!@! 
  
Probably not, but the guys from joystiq were asking this question.

Yeah on the PC! Now they just need to make Fable not suck and I'll be down.

" Meh, Fable, to me, was always a console game. "

That doesn't feel like $20 worth of awesomeness. If it were $70.. I'd really consider buying this collectors edition.

The last LE I got was for Fable 2, looks like Fable 3 will be my next. Awesome.

While its awesome they are finally bringing Fable 3 to PC, what about Fable 2?

only thing I'd drop is the trading cards in favor of an artbook. Fable has always had some excellent concept art and 2D character designs and would rather have that instead

i will wait till we get closer but if all that gets released then im game.

Its cool their coming back to PC, i'll probably stick with the 360 version but cool none the less. I don't think I will get the collectors edition though, the in-game stuff sounds minimal and I wouldn't put it past them to offer it as paid DLC down the line. There isn't really anything that really appeals to me in that box, I will agree the book shaped box is probably the coolest thing. 
 
Alan Wake also has a book shaped box, the harcover type not the leather bound type and it has a really awesome collector's edition. It has a legitimately cool companion book I've flipped through, a 360 DVD with apparently tons of bonus features including footage from various builds over its six year development cycle and an installable commentary that you can listen to while playing through the game. I haven't touched that disc yet though because I want to finish the game before I go anywhere near it. Additionally it comes with a soundtrack cd, which is really good because Alan Wake's soundtrack is one of the most amazing things about it. Listened to a bit of it, doesn't seem to have most of the licensed music the game uses, but those are listenable through the Extras Menu in the game anyways. I feel the Alan Wake Collectors Edition has a lot of value that this Fable III CE is missing.  
 
I do wish that every game came with the great, in-depth DVD style features that come as part of the God of War games, every version is a special edition, its great to play through a game and then go back and find out what went into its creation, and I especially advocate Riddick / Valve style commentary systems, a great reason to replay a game. 

Trading cards? I'll trade you my Ace of Spades for your suicide King and Queen of Clubs!

I might get it for PC ... someday.
Oh and the CE edition looks positively anorexic for $80

" That doesn't feel like $20 worth of awesomeness. If it were $70.. I'd really consider buying this collectors edition. "

I feel compelled to point out that the collector's edition boxart is fucking terrible.

That's actually $30 extra since standard price for PC games is $50. "

i'll be playing this one in offiline mode, i think. gfwl is not something you should be proud to openly associate with your game.

This CE is for the X360 version only ( Joystiq). PC standard comes with all the "exclusive download content". "

I probably won't get the Limited Edition but I'll definitely get the game.

soooo...some in game shit, cards, and a coin? 
lol no.

Fuck this game. Fable 2 was so crappy I became a pile of poo after playing it. Which explains this shitty comment.

I MEAN LOOK AT THAT THING, RIGHT?! 
 
And what's the deal with airplane food? Fellas?

Looks like a damned good value. I doubt the game will be for me, I felt the move away from combat and shifting the focus to the social and meta-aspects of the game was a bit of a step down, so yeah.

So is PC gaming "Alive" again now that games are starting to go back to having PC versions, after once being console exclusive?  I'm so confused.  
 
Maybe they didn't end up making the stacks of money they were expecting by cutting out a whole platform after all.  Fancy that.

DIgital version only available through GFWL? kind of a bummer, that. I might get it, but maybe not, since I generally only get games that come out on steam, for convenience reasons. 

I want the PC one, maybe they could bring out Fable II on PC like 3-4 months before III hits.

I liked Fable 2, but dude, $80? Nothx.

 
Microsoft is releasing a game for Microsoft Windows platforms. THAT'S CRAZY!!!

Hey, Matt the Intern is writing things!
