    So

    Who the hell is going to spend REAL money on ingame items. Thats bloody cheap. And if that stuff is actually on the disk but must be unlocked with some code they send via Xbox live then that is utter bullshit.

    This is trying to make a quick buck. Unluckily for them Fable 2 left people with such a bitter taste in their mouths that I think this game may just flop.     Posted by Corkjoke, Uragay
