Xbox Original version of Fable on sale photo

Microsoft’s latest Deal of the Week takes some of the sting off the ridiculous price for an Xbox Original title download. For a limited time, you can purchase Lionhead’s RPG Fable for 800 Microsoft Points.

If you walked into “next-gen” and bought Fable II without experiencing the first, I highly suggest you give it a spin. It may be flawed and ancient by Internet standards, but it’s still a fun RPG that focuses on the important things: interaction, practical combat, and sex story.

Fable, like any Xbox Original download, is usually priced at 1,200 Microsoft Points. At the special 800 Space Dollar price point, your savings are 33 percent, or in taco terms, two burritos.

It's dirt cheap on amazon, but I cannibalized my xbox for spare parts, so looks like I'm going to have to force myself to get it on xbox live.

It should be noted that this is the original Fable, and not The Lost Chapters version with additional content - which, oddly enough, is available from [url=Goozex for about $2.]http://www.goozex.com/trading/games/14122-Fable_The_Lost_Chapters-Xbox[/url]

Well wasn't that a learning experience.

There really should be an edit option.

Lost Chapters is totally better, don't get this.

To be honest, I found the original Fable more fun than Fable 2. It has a better story and the combat system feels better than Fable 2's. Sure, there were some aspects of Fable that were annoying but its quite different to Fable 2.

I'd say definitely give the original a chance.

That's because the original was better than Fable 2 in every way.

Shitty Lucien<Jack of Blades
Fable 2's (non) story<Fable 1's decent stereotypical fantasy
Fable 2's awful spell system<Fable 1's simple, yet fun spell system
Fable 2's game breaking glitches<Fable 1's minor bugs

Plus Fable 2 take's the cake with the worst ending of all time. If you liked Fable 2, you'll love 1.

Damnit, they should have more items on sale each week. The only things getting discounts are crap no one's gonna buy (besides Braid).

Whenever I see that game being sold I always remember that Molyneux specifically asked people not to buy it when the sequel was in development.
