Fable II Pub Games is the latest Deal of the Week photo

Microsoft’s Deal of the Week is Fable II Pub Games, an Xbox LIVE Arcade joint with a special history. The downloadable released in mid-August 2008, months ahead of Lionhead Studios’ new fangled RPG, Fable II. It allows players to earn future in-game cash via a suite of chance mini-games featured in the core game it was attached to. Pre-patched versions of the game have a nifty exploit that can net players mad money in a quick manner, leaving them to enjoy the colorful Albion without having to scrounge for bits of gold. Lionhead caught the exploit and said that using it would have some sort of impact on characters, but we didn't notice insta-horns whenever we started our new games with mad loot and coin.

Originally launching at 800 Microsoft Points, or free for those who pre-ordered copies of Fable II, it is now available at the special promotional price of 400 Microsoft Banana Dollars -- a 50 percent savings according to Major Nelson.

As is usual, this deal only applies to Xbox LIVE Gold members. Silver members can’t get in on this because they’re too cheap and silly to deserve such deals.

Wow. I can't believe it EVER cost $10 (I got mine for "free" with my Fable 2 preorder). There's no way in hell I'd pay that much for it.

Unless you are some kind of demented sould who feels the need to earn crazy gold in fable 2 and doesn't simply have a friend to get it from, do not buy this game! It sucks so hard.

Oh wow, I can get a game that come for free in Fable 2 for $5, when you can probably find Fable 2 for $20 used tops.
Stupid.

@ Tarvu
I agree that no one in their right mind should purchase this game but there is fun to be had with it.

That's still $5-$10 too much.

Unplug internet connection, set system clock ahead 5 years, get more gold than you'll ever spend.

If you're an achievement whore, having this game on your system unlocks certain expressions or something. At least one of the Fable II achievements is impossible to get without Pub Games. Just sayin'.

Can't say I particularly enjoyed the pub games in-game, because they're just so random. So paying for it to play it *outside* the game, even at £3.40, doesn't seem worth it.
