I would love a different artwork on the case, guild seal and cloth map.

Another thing I just thought up, I thinkl that LH should make Fable/Fable 2 Warhammer ?????

I Think the Hero's Edition is a great name . As for what i would like with it is the  cloth map and  the coin or  guild seal. Just my 2 cents

i would like to have a guild seal and a treasure chest wel anithink would be cool but i think it would be cool if there where 2 limited a and one

Indeed, that was what made me raise an eyebrow at first, the fact that they are actually taking money for it means that they must be damned confident that it will be released ... As for the release date, that's the same with all game retailers, they have a habit of just putting a date down, normally the earliest realistic one possible, and then keep delaying your order until it is actually released (I know amazon does that a lot with pre-order games ... )

Got an update for you guys,

Just got off the phone with a GameStop rep and they informed me that they actually don't charge for the game until it ships.  So if you bought the Limited Edition of Fable 2 they actually wouldn't charge your credit/debit card until they ship it out from the warehouse.  If it ends up that a Limited Edition is not coming out, GameSpot would simply contact you letting you know that the order was cancelled due to the fact that no Limited Edition is coming out.

So anyway, looks to me like GameStop claiming a Limited Edition of Fable 2 is about as accurate as the release date, which is to say...it isn't. 

You could be right but I don't see GameStop jeopardizing their credibility by taking preorders on items that may not exist. It would be too unprofessional of them to leave gamers without a copy of the game because they were wrong and they also have a boxart for it. I get the feeling that either Microsoft's or LionHead's marketing department pulled some strings so they can start selling these things before announcing the details. It's a long shot and I could be horribly wrong but that's my understanding of the situation. It would really suck for me because I preordered the Limited Editions of both the game and the Strategy Guide.

Thats cause Gamestop knows they exsist don't you ever wonder where Gamestop gets there release dates or info if they say it will be out it will be and if Lionhead changes plans they will put the reservations of the limited one onto the top list of regular one. So there have some faith.

Oh I agree with that much.

Well then seriously thank you so much I guess we are at peace then thank you very much. Sorry about earlier's arguments glad we have resolved them.

I can get pretty hard headed but I never hold a grudge. I am not very convinced of the other stuff but it doesn't much matter since E3 will clarify a lot of things.

They guess at release dates. They're never truely accurate until within the last few months.

I've been told by their employees that they guess on multiple occaisions.

Release dates have been wrong but they never started taking orders on anything that didn't exist. The guessing part is the "official" answer they hand out to any and all curious fans because they can't just say that they have the info from the marketing department of a major company like Microsoft or LionHead before the company itself is ready to talk details. My guss is that either LH or MS wanted to start selling these items but weren't ready to talk details like exactly what comes in the LE besides the Regular edition and so on so they talk to gamestop and tell them something like: "Hey here's the boxart for the LE of Fable 2 so start selling it but we don't want a billion fans nagging us for details so if you're asked just say that you pulled the boxart and knowledge of the existence of the LE out of your @$$."

ddkRobinHood:

god that would be diabolical. Except I've seen the LE for sale on a bunch of different sites, not just GameStop.

GameStop was just an example but the fact that more retailers just happen to guess on the existence of these items should tell you something. When's the last time you saw these many retailers be wrong about the existence of an item they took preorders for??? And if they're not all wrong they must know something we don't to make them stick their neck out like that(taking preorders on an item isn't something you can just say "oops I was wrong" without ruining your credibility as a retailer.)
