If you went out to get yourself a Limited Collector's Edition of Fable II, don't be surprised if the box lacks the promised DLC card. It went MIA along with the promised cards and the promised Hobbe figure.

If you've been following news on the LCE, you'd know that Lionshead scrapped some of the swag that came along with, including the Hobbe figure, the premium box, and the five printed fate cards set.

The only thing that was left was the Bonus DVD with the making-of feature, and the bonus in-game content via the DLC card. Apparently, someone's going to get in trouble for forgetting to put that last one in some of the boxes. Says Microsoft:

We have identified that some copies of the "Fable II" Limited Collector's Edition are missing the downloadable content (DLC) cards, which give access to in-game bonus content. This represents a small fraction of the total number of "Fable II" games shipped and sold, and is contained to the Limited Collector's Edition of the game in North America.

We are currently investigating the scope of this situation and regardless the outcome of the investigation, we are implementing a plan to address it. We will have a means to deliver replacement codes by Oct 28th so please check back then. We apologize for the inconvenience.
