![Rumortoid: Fable 2 Collector's Edition gets even smaller [Update] photo](http://www.destructoid.com/elephant/ul/106286-98658-fable.jpg)
According to a Kotaku source, it appears as though the Fable 2: Collector's Edition is about to get even smaller. A letter from Microsoft getting passed around by UK retailer GAME tells a story of woe, toil, and strife. According to the letter, the developer diary and soundtrack will no longer be included on the bonus DVD.
We have recently contacted you regarding a marketwide problem with the Fable II Collectors Edition. We have since been informed by Microsoft that there has been a further complication. They have advised us that the developer diary and soundtrack are no longer going to be available on the bonus DVD.
The last time we talked Fable 2 Collector’s Edition it was under the unfortunate circumstance of the set being trimmed as a result of “supply chain issues.” Consumers who preordered the bundle got a $10.00 price reduction for missing out on a premium box, five printed cards, and a Hobbe figurine. Now, it looks as if the only thing collector about the special edition of Fable 2 will be the bonus in game content.
Is there any point to the pre-order anymore? Are the Spartan armor and energy sword that awesome? We’ve sought contact with Microsoft about this newest problem and are eagerly awaiting response.
[UPDATE: According to Lionhead's official blog today, the above information from that circulated letter is erroneous. No further cuts have been made to Fable 2: Collector's Edition. Thanks goes to TnS for giving us the heads up.]

There is an email from GAME doing the rounds on the internet, claiming that the LCE has been further reduced. This information is incorrect; there are no further cuts in the Limited Collectors Edition.
The Developer Diaries and Soundtrack were never going to be a part of the bonus DVD, these can be downloaded for free.
How ironic that a Molyneux product is already not doing what they excitedly told us it would.
If you consider that it's a bit more money for a collector's edition, you would realize that any money going into the economy is a good thing. Buying stuff strengthens the economy.
Anyway, I probably wont be picking up Fable II anymore, this seems to be going straight to Hype Hell.
Yeah but when gas/food goes up and you wasted your money on 'collector's editions' instead of saving it, you just broke your own economic future.
True, it does ruin you personally. Which is why I will not eat or get gas so I can buy vidja games.
Sound good?
If any publisher ever did that I would buy the LE no matter what the game was. Barbie Vs Ken (I'd be so there)!
