Microsoft has announced that they will be changing the content included in the Limited Edition release of Fable 2.

The premium box, five printed fate cards, and Hobbe figure will not be available as part of the Limited Collector’s Edition. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The claim is that there was an issue with the supply chain, and that in order to keep the release date they had to remove all of the tangible bonuses for buying the limited edition. Now those who chose to shell out the extra cash only receive the “Making Of” disc and bonus in-game content. You can read the full statement (along with some interesting comments) here

I am rather frustrated myself. While the “Making of” DVD will be interesting to me (as it pertains to my career), is was not the reason I chose to pay extra. There was an allure to having something tangible from this digital world, and now that is not possible. Disappointed does not even begin to describe what I am feeling right now.
