Fable II (Xbox 360) Game Download Free

Slick Deals: Microsoft/Xbox Live is offering a free download of full version of Fable II game for Xbox 360.

[Troll_Police]

Who's dumb enough to fall for this?

[Lovable]

It works.

[-Alpha]

Omg it's downloading! This is so awesome!!

Note to people:

http://slickdeals.net/?sdti...

Use that link once you sign in, otherwise they will charge you standard fee.

Note that there is another free game on XBL, though the name escapes me. It's a simple 2D side-scroller for those interested. Flow is also free on PSN while we're at it.

I love this! I needed an RPG and had nothing to play for my consoles.

[darthv72]

so when i get home i will dl it. I liked the free episode they offered before and was going to get the full game at some point. Now that point is now.

Excellent. (bill & ted style)

edit: it has to be the full game. The first ep was only 1+ gb. This one is 6.6gb.

[-Alpha]

Edit: MS confirmed this to be fake, sorry guys

[T9X69]

Honestly I think he's confused. When I downloaded it, it specifically says "Fable 2 FULL Game". When I downloaded the first episode months ago, it said Fable 2 episode one. Even the description for Fable 2 was the full game, on the episodes downloads, it says download episode one now and continue playing to unlock more episodes for purchase, or something like that.

EDIT: Also, episode 1 is only a 1-2GB download, not 7GB.

[frostypants]

I'm on this like white on rice, but...WTF? Why is it free?

[-Alpha]

MS's twitter is saying it's only Episode 1. Others are saying they are collecting achievements and getting past episode 1. MS may be trying to persuade people to cancel their downloads, so I'm going to stick in and see what happens. Has to be a mistake that they are trying to cover up.

[Takoulya]

Works. This is Microsoft's strong point. Marketing. More people will get Fable 2 and will be wanting some more. Fable 3 comes out and gets killer sales. No matter how much you hate Microsoft, you have to admit that they have great advertising schemes.

[nation120]

u download the full game but only get to play the first chapter....u gotta pay to play the rest....like this is microsoft they never give out anything for free.

[darthv72]

can you verify this? I know that when they offered up episode 1 it wasnt a full 6.6gb download. Did you get this game and play up to where ep 1 would end and have it show you something to the extent that in order to play you had to pay?

Really, I am curious now.

I went back through my purchase history to when I got the free episode and it shows full game then too but it really amounted to around 2gb. Interesting...........

[theEx1Le]

It is the full game, my completed save file works with this so its not just an episode!

[Nevers]

I just downloaded this (bought this) about 1month ago... I had bought it originally when it came out but then had a hankering for it... and $20 seemed like a deal... now I'm kicking myself.

t(-.-t) m$ (from me)

\(^o^)/ m$ (for others)

...Kix self again...

[ProjectVulcan]

Yup worked fine with my old save. First it didnt apply the update when logged online, but then i let it get to the main menu offline, then logged and and applied the update when asked worked fine after that :-)

Microsoft have clearly just cocked up and responded taking it down, attempting to convince people downloading it that it wasnt the real deal. Those that stuck it out, well done. From this small window of opportunity, you got yaself a free game lol

[Spydiggity]

here's the msg i'm getting:

Sorry
This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web.

[Chimerhazzard]

How is Flow free on PSN?

I can't find the free version of Flow anywhere :S

[ISKREEM]

What are you talking about? It's legit.
http://marketplace.xbox.com...

Once again, the benefits of actually having a hard drive.

[gamingdroid]

If you don't have a hard drive you can still grab the game and download it later when you have a USB Drive or Hard Drive.

It's free!

[Blaze929]

it works!

[Chug]

It definitely works.

[Chug]

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

Nice TV :D
And it's downloading for me :)

[niceguywii60]

Downloading it now. And thanks *Merc_With_A_Mouth* when I tried the first time reading the first article about this the page on XBL was as if the deal wasn't there trying to get a credit card number.

[THE MAX SPEED 21]

ITS WORKING HAHAHAHA!

YEESSS FREE GAMEEE!

[Blacktric]

If this is not a joke or work of some hacker, I'm seriously happy right now. Hopefully, this and that 2400 points deal is a good sign of more things to come.

[No Way]

Just curious.. what '2400 points deal?' Haha.

[Blacktric]

I should've said 800 points deal I guess. You know the one that gives you back 800 points if you spend 2400 points on Live Marketplace?

[Johnny Jiron]

Ive been milking that Bing rewards thing for a few weeks now also. Getting 200ms points for every computer I sign up with a new account. Heh. Rounding 1000msp right now. Just gotta get a few friends who dont care for the points to do my bidding and sign up more accounts for me.

for anyone curious: https://ssl.bing.com/reward...
sign up using Firefox or IE as yer browser and you get 250 reward points. Redeem those points in the redemption center where they have 100msp. You can only make one purchase at a time so purchase 100 then purchase another 100. In a few weeks theyll send you the point codes. Repeat process with a different computer.
Im sure someone knows how to get around this and use a single computer, but Im not that smart.I have 3 coms in my house so thats 600msps right there plus the computers at my girlfriends.
And any friend I can get to do so for me as well. Plus some legit uses got me another 100 reward points by just using there toolbar :P

[COINTELPRO]

My 360 got a virus and RROD. Download at your own risk or alternatively download Steam and get lots of free games weekly thanks to Valve. PC gaming is the best.

[lolzers]

As much as I'd love to download Fable II for free on Steam, it's not available dude.

[Blacktric]

Well COINTELPRO, it's your own opinion and I respect that, but for most of us, console gaming is better. Not because we got the best graphics, sound, upgradable components etc. It's because it's simple and fun. On topic; I seriously can't believe this. It's just pure win for us gamers. BTW there's none of that region/IP locking crap for Fable II. So, if you are living in a non-supported country like me, you can download the game without having a problem.

[SantistaUSA]

I'm downloading, it says item already purchased! That's weird, they better not charge me anything for it! But if it is really free....THANK YOU! :D

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Who's dumb enough to troll a free game?

[PS360fanboy]

I am! And it's working!

[Gam3s4lif3]

ur an idiot

[gamingdroid]

It's free, there is nothing to fall for.

Perhaps you should report yourself, Troll!

[Garrus_Vakarian]

What is there to lose?

A little bit of you time, that's all.

[MRJENKINS]

OMG i bought fable 2 today!!!!! WTFFFFFF

[vhero]

Erm doesn't work you get
"
Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web.
"
So I reckon they stopped it OR as usual you fanboys are going along with this crap to try make your console look better which if you need to do that your sad but it wouldn't be the first time.. Either way it's dead now so don't bother..

[secksi-killer]

vhero give it up. there must be a "i love sony" thread for you somewhere

[vhero]

Erm say what now?? It doesn't work you tool! try the link yourself you get that error message. You think I just made that crap up?? Who is the fanboy here?? Hmmm.. I think thats easy to see as it's obviously not me.. I lost 2 bubbles so far for attacking fanboys as your all lowlifes and N4G mods need to get off there a$$3$ and do something about you people.

[reckoner]

Why do you automatically assume that this is a "fanboy" attempt? And why does it bother you so much that this game was released for free for a short period of time?

[gamingdroid]

Because vhero is a fanboy himself and when looking through his fanboy goggles it appears that any positive Xbox 360 news is concocted by the opposition!

By the way, I can confirm it worked for me and it was the entire game without the premium DLC.

[codyodiodi]

I guess the Admins should pay attention to there website.

[ArtsyGamer]

Seemed to work for me... don't know how or why though.

[Desz]

Part of their give back program before the price goes up.

[mcmmaster]

doesn't work for UK, even if you have a USA account, it won't work in the UK, i just tried it
EDIT- UPDATE, it does work for UK residents, hurry up and get it before it goes off

[ionicmoose]

How did you get it to work for UK? I changed the en-US in the link to en-GB and it seemed to work, but when I click download it says I need the latest update even though I have it. Something to do with being in the new dashboard program thing?

[mcmmaster]

i did it by changing the xbox website to the usa one, clicked international and clicked usa, then i signed in as my Uk account, then i typed in fable 2 and it was there for free, but microsoft fixed it now,doesn't work anymore, lets just hope they dont delete it from my download list

[LordMarius]

Downloading, free is free

[No Way]

Not to mention, it's a good game.

[ddurand1]

this is actually a nice marketing move for ms with fable 3 around the corner.

[joydestroy]

yup i agree! played it already but you can't pass on a free full game!

[No Way]

Exactly! I own the game, but downloading anyway!
If anything, it's a good backup, if anything happens to the disc.

[Capdastaro]

Just went on site clicked on add to queue, turned on my xbox and...

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

congrats!!!

[No Way]

Uh.. right.

[ZombieAssassin]

Does this include the DLC?

[EscoBlades]

The DLC is also free. Might as well grab that too.

[Eiffel]

DLC has either Premium and Free.

I just checked. The Premium DLC is still charged.

[EscoBlades]

http://tinyurl.com/cf8m66 - DLC is Free!

http://tinyurl.com/2vveaop - DLC is also Free!

[ZombieAssassin]

Those have always been free, they are just so you can play co-op with other people that have the "premium" versions.

You can tell the difference because after it says See the Future it'll either say (free) or (premium) after them.

[blue7xx7]

It doesn't work I tried downloading the DLC "See the Future" and it said I was downloading the full 500 MB DLC and when I go play it. It tells me I have to pay for it I did get free items though just for downloading it.

I haven't tried downloading the full game since I already have it so who knows if that works. There was a patch for Fable 2 that I had to download so maybe they have already blocked it/Patched it.

[ZombieAssassin]

how do you get the free dlc

[THE MAX SPEED 21]

Im tryna figure it out aswell!!!

[n4f]

esco bladehas already post it im downloading the dlc has well
i only feel bad for those that brought the game

[KaBaW]

Those aren't the 'real' dlc content.
There's a 'free' and a 'premium' content.
The free version, which EscoBlades showed, is only for co-op.
Meaning it only lets you play with someone who has the premium.

[n4f]

thx for enlighten me

[NoOoB101]

Wow..I didn't think it would work haha.
It really downloaded. That's really sweet. haha.

[KillerPwned]

I already got it with all the DLC for $20 i am good. Great find tho got me pumped for a bit at first i thought it was for PC but then i remembered only the first fable was on PC.

[SexyPrawns]

NO!

It's not the full game!

It's a trick!

This promotion has been going for months. How have you guys missed this?

It says "Download the full game of Fable II for free!"

It downloads the full game, but you really only get to play the first chapter before it makes you pay for more chapters.

I'm serious.

[T9X69]

Um no, for that you only download the first chapter which is something like 1.2GB, not 6.5GB. When you log into your account and hit add to queue, it says "Fable 2 Full Game". The chapters part was awhile ago, and as mentioned before, you only download 1.2GB or so of the game, and when you reach a certain point, it ask you to download the rest of the game if you wish to play. Trust me, I tried it when I sold Fable 2, but now that I just got the full game for free, it's all gooood.

[SexyPrawns]

Are you absolutely SURE?

[THE MAX SPEED 21]

forreal? :( ???

why 7gb ?

[borisfett]

This is not the episodic content. That was 1.2 gigs in size.

I downloaded it, loaded up my end game save, and it worked just fine.

[Convas]

LOL ... well ... I'm getting Fable 3 for free ... and I hear that Doll catcher achievement is a pain in the ass, so I'mma pass. But Kudos to MS for giving back to the community!

[n to the b]

"Doll catcher achievement is a pain in the ass"
someone must be a pokeaddict or something to have created that lame-o achievement. and there's also 50 more pts I'll never get that require buying Pub Games in arcade. come on molyneux, don't F with my completionist whoring tendencies!

[Convas]

Ahhh, screw it, I'm downloading the game :3

[0oAngeluso0]

Full game and DLC free! Thanks Microsoft!

[lelo2play]

Well this is surprising... a free game from Microsoft.

Go get the game... Fable 2 is a great game.

[Rampaged Death]

Some people are getting charged now but some aren't so if you do have a card attached to your account I would remove it.

[iMad]

Sonyfanboys trying to downplay even this

You wil get KZ2 soon :)

[KaBaW]

Even if what you are saying is real..
That's why you follow the instructions.

[iMad]

it was my first RPG ever:) and it was OK 8/10.

nice yellow flower fields :)

[Roper316]

MS and free in the same sentence? WOW! Nice job MS hopefully you will do more of the same in the future.

[KaBaW]

One can hope. But, still Fable 2 is an awesome game.
So, as far as I'm concerned.. it's all good.

[Shoko]

I don't get it. I followed the steps, but nothing is downloading on my 360. Why couldn't they just have it so we can download it off of XBL on our Xboxs? Getting on our computers shouldn't be required.

[THE MAX SPEED 21]

stop cryingggg it's a free game dude. Just get with the program and go through the link they gave you.

[Shoko]

"go through the link they gave you." - You

"I followed the steps, but nothing is downloading on my 360." - Me

Read.

[vickers500]

Go to your account management or whatever and check your download history. It will be in the history, and you can just re download it. Same thing happened to me so I went and did that and it worked.

[Kalowest]

Its not DLing for me either.

[vickers500]

Do what I told Shoko to do:

Go to your account management or whatever and check your download history. It will be in the history, and you can just re download it. Same thing happened to me so I went and did that and it worked.

[-Alpha]

Use the link I gave above, it wont let me re-post as it is considered spam

[MAG_SVER]

He is not lying, I'm getting the same BS.. & plus MS said it's not the full game.

Yes I own a 360 too, GT-Maytr1x.. It doesn't work!!!

I get this:

Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web.

I wasn't even trying to purchase it, all I did was click on "Download to Xbox 360"

Error:

https://live.xbox.com/en-US...

[blue7xx7]

Because it's probably a mistake and will be taken off soon. Why complain it's not hard to follow the steps.

[KaBaW]

Did you sign in to your account on xbox.com? o.O
http://marketplace.xbox.com...

Unless you blowin smoke out your ass, that's the only thing I'd think stopping it.

[Cajun Chicken]

I can't help but take advantage. I can't stand the series myself, but I know a few friends who will revel in this.

Will report what happens my end.

[Paradise Lost]

Horrible game, but i'll download it anyway since it's free.

[whitesoxfalife]

well im downloadn it right now it shows the download status on my 360....... and yes u have to do it from the pc u will not be able to do this from the 360

[Neo Nugget]

I got the CE a while ago and stopped playing it when my xbox RRoD'd :(

I should get back into it.

[cellypower]

I had to make room on my 20gig but free is free.

[Hades1337]

I'm downloading it, but I'm honestly not expecting it to be the full game. The quickest way of telling is whether you unlock achievements or not.

[GoldPS3]

I wouldn't download becuz it doesn't say free on this link. It says $19.99.

http://marketplace.xbox.com...

Must be a glitch in the system. I don't believe MS will give a game like this away for free. If it's free then congrats to you 360 owners.

[BigKev45]

It's free dude. Downloading now.

[cellypower]

too good to be true http://twitter.com/#!/XboxS... its only Episode 1

[GoldPS3]

I knew it lol. Well free is free so enjoy episode 1.

[KaBaW]

That's odd, when I go here : http://marketplace.xbox.com...
It says free, but your link tells me $19.99. lol.

[BigKev45]

Free is free.

[theEx1Le]

Got it :), free is free so cannot complain.

[actual_gamer]

Im at 41% and anxiously watching as it gets higher! Please work!!

[Trey4Lyfe]

hopefully someone can confirm it's the FULL game. I'm hearing it may not be.

[nation120]

nah mate only first chapter....u download the whole thing but if u wanna play the rest u gotta pay for it!

[EscoBlades]

Yeah, had a few people confirm that just now to me as well.

[criticalkare]

I hope i don't get perma banned :P

[mcmmaster]

yeah i'm wondering the same thing, my download is finishing now and i'm kind of getting worried if i'm going to get banned or charged for this

[Noah]

sweet, thanks for the heads up.

[militant07]

microsoft says in twitter only episode 1 is free. :s

[Dorwrath]

Has anyone actually got to Bowerstone yet.

Xbox Support are saying you download the entire game, but then it will prompt you to to pay if you want to go further.

[Garrus_Vakarian]

Those MS Support tweets are just damage control.

Have faith people. You will be rewarded for your time and patience.

[theEx1Le]

I have a complete save on my hdd for this, so ill report back on if it works or not, hopefully its the full game

[Cajun Chicken]

That's a great way of figuring it out!

[theEx1Le]

It works!!!, full game people

[gorebago]

I just bought the platinum version TWO days ago. This is such bullshit.

[QuantumWake]

Wait, I'm trying to download it from Xbox.com and this is what I'm getting:

"Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web."

What gives? Would anyone like to help me out on this one?

7hank you. :)

[thebudgetgamer]

when you get an achievment it says buy full game to unlock it.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

I dl it and got an achievement. It was the full game for a shot time and microsoft messed up.

[looza]

I click on it and this is all it say

"Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web."

Why won't it put it on my queue!!! ROARRRRR

[QuantumWake]

Aww... From the looks of the comments, it looks like MS stopped the deal. Hopefully they didn't! Man, If only I had gotten to my house a few hours earlier! >.<

[pillaysteven]

Really can't believe this worked. Thank you Microsoft and Lionhead :). Massive brownie points!

[Johnny Jiron]

Im playing it right now. Anyway to tell if its just the first chapter or anything? I dont see anything to indicate. 6.6 gigs saved to my hard-drive with all the achievements I got form the disc. I suppose I'll just sell the disc to a friend or something now.

[Trey4Lyfe]

MS thought it was just episode 1 and now they just figured out that it is the full game

FAIL

http://twitter.com/XboxSupp...

[SonyPS360]

Call me vindictive, but I am so freaking happy about this after all of the extra cash I've had to fork out for stuff that's free on other platforms.

[0oAngeluso0]

If it's a mistake, it's there mistake. They will take the blame. They wont ban anyone. With all the people calling and talking to Microsoft, if it was a mistake, I'd think it would have been taken down by now and it isn't. So I'm guessing someone found out early and now we know. My best guess is that it was for a promotion for Fable 3. Quite the good promotion IMHO.

It is free, it's the full game, almost 7 gigs. I downloaded it, started a new game, got past the episode 1 cutoff point, played online co-op. It's the FULL game.

[n4f]

btw confirm working over here im past chapter 2, my 360 didnt rrod either those who download enjoy ;)

[Rtard THE HD VERSION]

I logged in to my live account click on download to 360 .. they want 19.99$ for it.

Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

LOL MS messed up and gave away the full game. In the end it won't be so bad for MS because N4G and one other site are the only ones people downloaded it from.

It is real though for those of you who acted fast enough.

[Convas]

LOL, are you nuts? This news spread through every 360 centric site's forums like wild fire. There's already several page topics on Planet360, the Xbox forums and on Xbox360Achievement.org! We took advantage of MS and LIVED!! Muhahahahaha!

[vloeistof]

ofcourse i missed it lmao

[Fatal Blow]

Damn i missed out

[EXID]

god damn it, i missed it =/ once again...

[Zachmo182]

Dude are you sure you missed it? Cause i just got on this site like 5 mins ago and i saw fable 2 free and guess what its downloading.

[EXID]

yeah =/ i tried multiple times with no luck~ and when i went back to retry, all the links already said "(expired)" beside them T-T

[Zachmo182]

Hmm odd idk maybe it's the browser you're using i'm really not sure if thats the case. But im using comodo dragon and it downloaded no problem. It's the full game to cause it says 6.59 gb and i downloaded part 1 last year and it was like 1 gb so i no its def the full game.

[EXID]

damn, well when i tried to get it just now it says my 360 doesn't have the latest firmware... and it does, so i don't know what's going on =/

[offdawall]

Umm playstation plus has all the free stuff I need .... Just sayin

[Garrus_Vakarian]

Lol wut?

[SonyPS360]

That free stuff doesn't include free full retail titles.

Just sayin'.

[gcolley]

think he's lost

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

this is a free game that even silver members could have gotten before MS fixed it.

[SonyPS360]

Well I missed out, but I'm glad that alot of people got a free game from Microsoft who are constantly charging us for free stuff.

[Shadow0]

its currently downloading. after everything that has been postest before this about it being expire or not letting your mine is currently downloading onto my xbox 360 and i am SSOOOO excited to get a chance to play this. if it is really fun i will probably even get fable 3 for this mistake! awesome. ill post back later once everything is downloaded but its going smooth right now :)

[bligmerk]

What a rip. Looks like most people are missing, the download is full size but only allows Ep 1, then asks for payment to unlock the rest. Kind of like an extended demo for a game that is almost 2 years old.

[Shadow0]

probably wishing to yourself that you had downloaded it now right? because it worked for me and a ton of other people so t(^.^t)

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

I DLd taht episode 1 a year ago, and DL this yesterday. ONe is around 1.3 gigs and one is almost 7 gigs.

It doesnt say trial and I can earn achievements. It is the full game. But good job spreading wrong info and pretending like you know something your cluless about.

[nygamer28]

ITS ONLY EPISODE 1!!!!!!

[theEx1Le]

It is the full game, i was playing after the last chapter earlier on with this version, even my dlc works with it.

[nygamer28]

if thats true then im wrong,antways its a great game,i got as soon as it became avalible on games on demand

[geth1gh]

tried with firefox and chrome with no luck, so im guessing it was shut down.

not that big of a deal, already beat it and didn't really have a desire to play it again, even though i did like it a lot.

but damn, gotta hate missing out on free stuff.

i did get to get the gold plated lancer this way for gears 2 about 2 years ago the same way tho, via a article here on n4g. they had that up for maybe 4 hours or so before they shut it down.

[kasasensei]

Not working anymore...

[Organization XII]

holy cow they banned my 360...F U MS

[zXe]

no they didn't....did they? :/

[kasasensei]

Any proof?

[BLAKHOODe]

downloading it.. i've already beat the game and don't have much interest in re-visiting it, but free is free and better to download it now while it's free than later and find out i missed out.

[nygamer28]

THE BANHAMMER IS COMING!

[Shadow0]

this was NOT ment to be a free download as microsoft posted on twitter that it was just episode 1 (probably to get you to stop your downloads) but i already had episode one and never commited to playing the full game. the download just finished and i soon as i loaded up my 1 year old save i got 9 achiements! meaning that this is not episode 1 soo yeah FREE GAME \(^.^)/!! hope you took advantage of it while it was there.

[Wii360BeatsPS3]

I saw Peter Molyneus this morning he was shuffling down the road in his underpants crying... he kept saying "they gave away my game for free "

I threw him some spare change and carried on to work, poor guy.

[wxJimG]

I did it and it downloaded the full 6GB and I started a new game with it; so far no problems.

[Xfanboy]

Thank you Valve!! for talking smack to MS...
lmao!!

[TheDeadMetalhead]

"Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web."

Sounds legit.

[Jack-Pyro]

I don't work no more :....(
