Update #2: The Fable 3 giveaway was intended by Microsoft. It's part of a new two-free-games-a-month deal that will, at some point, include Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed 2.Update: Xbox Live Silver members cannot take advantage of this and are charged 3600 Microsoft Points for the game.Original story: You can grab the full Fable 3 game from Xbox.com now for free (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Fable-III/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5308d6?purchase=1&purchaseid=66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5308d6).All you have to do is select "use Microsoft Points" when asked how you'd like to pay. The cost is 0 Microsoft Points and when you "confirm" the deal, hey presto, the game is yours. Thanks, Eurogamer forum (http://www.eurogamer.net/forum/thread/252648)!This is probably an accident on Microsoft's behalf rather than special gift to go with its E3 conference this afternoon.Fable 3 was the quickly made follow-up to Fable 2 on Xbox 360, and was pretty good (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-26-fable-iii-review).Lionhead recently revealed Fable Anniversary (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-04-lionhead-teases-fable-1-hd-remake-for-xbox-360), a remake of Fable 1 for Xbox 360. Presumably Lionhead is also working on a fourth Fable game for Xbox One, although not a whiff - besides some job adverts and hiring a new boss (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-04-23-fable-developer-lionhead-has-a-new-boss-and-hes-an-mmo-specialist) - has been given.
