I went to Gamestop yesterday and they told me $17.99 for a used version of Fable:TLC. So I guess this Originals version is cheaper, but to echo previous comments it apparently does NOT include The Lost Chapters. I'm going to have to pass on buying this for $10.

Why wouldn't Xbox sell this for $5 (400 points) instead? It's all free money at this point. Xbox isn't even paying to produce a physical disc. I'm not supporting this business model unless the pricing becomes more sensible.

I downloaded Braid because of the deal of the week, If Castle Crashers was a deal of the week for no more than 800 I would also buy for sure

Or you could go to Gamestop and buy a used copy of this for literally like 4 dollars

I really like the idea Major of discounted deals, but ever since the first week the deals have been basically worthless in my opinion. It would be nice to get discounts on some of the major downloads that people actually download. Maybe some Castle crashers for 800, banjo kazooie for 800. I would discount all the games that are 1200 points and make them 800 on certain weeks, bc 1200 is too much for an arcade game. I bought braid the day it turned 800. Anyway just a suggestion, and thanks, and hopefully keep the good deals coming.

I wold get it but it is just not worth spending 800 points on a game with no achievements

They need to actually discount stuff people haven't bought yet... deals are worth a damn if you already own the content.

I see your point but, I would say the numbers game they're playing is that they don't believe there are that many consumers left for this title. Charging the 10.00 and getting everyone they can is probably a better bet than 3.00 when there just isn't the demand for it anymore. Let's be honest 3.00 is never a price we will see and I personally have too many games to put on a shelf and would love to put all of them on a hard drive but, they don't make a petabyte drive. I throw the boxes away, just too many of them.

MikeCaelen, I think you should do some research on the term "False Advertising".

@CARNAGE RULES

Those figures I gave were purely to make a point. What I'm saying is its better to have more people playing your game by charging less for it and at the same time you'll ultimately make more money. Also, the chances are that by charging so little for a game you'll end up enticing new people who've never played Fable into buying it and they might then go on to buy the full Fable 2 360 game (+ any future Fable games or DLC). Greed and short sightedness seems to be the main reason we see old Xbox original games and trashy arcade games so grossly overpriced.

The point I made about hard copies is just my personal point of view. I really don't get why people are happy to spend so much more on something that is locked down by DRM and doesn't exist in the real world. I prefer to pay less and get a hard copy with box art, manual, can be added to the collection on my shelf + can be used in ANY Xbox I choose at ANY time.

If it was the lost chapters I would consider buying it

@ oO MG81 Oo

$500.00 is your argument and some people don't want a hard copy.

Oh yeah, and this "deal" is rubbish. Why can't Microsoft and developers see that if they dropped their Marketplace prices they would have soooo many more people buying their products. What would you rather have?, 1000 people buying the game at 800MSP or 3500 people buying the game at 240MSP?. And why would anyone spend 800MSP on a DLC game when you can pick up a hard copy from a game store for less than half the price??.

@Ganon255

You were definitely BS'd by a bad support rep. You can transfer licenses between ANY SKU. I transfered all mine recently from my Pro to a new Elite. I have friends who have done the opposite and also from Arcade to Pro.

#1 - When Halo was deal of the week it was 600.

#2 - This is STILL not Lost Chapters.

Fail.
