When Bonus Content Goes...Right.

[LogicNProportion]

Alright, I'm making this topic in a sort-of response to a news update given out on the 22nd at http://lionhead.com/ under the Call to Arms section.

Besides a spiffy new preview video, which shows some gameplay cutscenes, and the beloved Peter Molyneux offering a little commentary, there's a list of new items to add to an already over-considerable amount of Bonus Content if you buy Fable 3 on release day.

In total, this is what you should be getting if you pre-order the Collector's Edition of Fable 3 from Gamestop:

The 'Tome' Box
Fable 3 Game
Raise Dead Potion
Slow Time Potion
Scot Male Hero Outfit/Scot Female Hero Outfit
The Highlander Tattoo Set
Red Setter Dog Skin
Exclusive Sword
Exclusive Will Morph Tattoo
Exclusive Inquisitor Sword
Access to The-Create-a-Villager Function
Deck of Fable 3 Themed Playing Cards
A Fate Coin
A Whole New Area/Country
A New Quest Line
A New Dog Breed
A New Outfit
and $20 off a future pre-order or new release

Now...that's...pretty good.

So, has anyone else on here ever been amazed by the quality and/or quantity of bonus content that came with a game?

Is that new dog breed and outfit in addition to the Red Setter and Scot Hero outfit? I do like Red Setters.

I like the special edition of the last two Fallout games. The Lunch Box and Bobblehead was a nice touch. Bioshock 2 limited editions that had a record and posters with hidden messages were awesome too.

Yeah, they're two separate dog breeds and two separate outfits.

LOOOOOTS of content.

That's a surprisingly large of in-game content for a Special Edition. Who's betting the in-game content will be available in 6 months as a $10 DLC?

Dear god, Peter really played it off this time.

Eh, I'm happy that the new MoH included the awesome PS2 game Frontline, remastered in HD, and all for the same price as the retail version.

Bah, I just don't have the money for the collector's edition.

Peter's basically resorting to bribery I see.

*relishes in own smug joke*

I got a little Alex Mercer toy and a poster when I bought Prototype. I also got a hat that I never wear with Mercenaries 2.

Plus there's always the BioShock 2 Collector's Edition...

Im curious when is the release date for fable 3? Depending on when it comes out I might actually have to get this.

Tonight, midnight.

I was getting the Collector's anyway. I had been leaning towards a New Vegas Collector's Edition, but realized I still have my Fallout 3 lunchbox, so I don't need TWO Fallout editions.

This game is full of win!
