Default Free Fable II download for 360

I usually don't like to post things like this - but I just did it and it actually works. And by works I mean it added it to my download queue

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/merge...-360-a-952641/
================================================== ===
Follow these instructions:

Instructions to ensure this works:
1. Login at www.xbox.com
2. Close that window
3. Click this link: http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=2300...004d5307f1
4. It should get you to the page that says it is free and you should be logged in
5. If it says you already purchased it, Click the button to download it again because it is defnitely a different much larger file and thus should be the full game this time.

FABLE II Full Game 6.6 GB
Status:
Download pending
This item is waiting to be downloaded on your console.
1. login
2. download
Note, if you don't log in, it'll say $20
================================================== =

Some people are saying it's the full game while others say it is just chapter 1 for free.

Either way it's free!

I clicked the link before I logged in. Got to the site fine. Closed the window.

Opened up xbox.com, logged in, then tried to open the slickdeals link again, now it won't open.

Damn, you guys are fast.

Apparently after playing Episode 1 the game will say you cannot go any further.

Oh FFS, now it's not allowing logins from the net. You have to be at your Xbox to do it.

silentsim, Ive heard that is the case for some people, but others say it works fine through out. for the time it takes to download, i figured it's worth the risk.

HeartsOfFire : It still works for me online - not sure where you are having problems doing it.

I follow the slickdeals link, which brings me to the XBL marketplace FABLE II catalogue page.

Near the bottom, it has the green Download button. I press it, and I get a pop-up window,

Sorry

This item is not available for purchase from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web.

Did you log into xbox.com with your account first? You have to log in there, close out that window - then go to that slickdeals site and click there link - it then takes you back to xbox.com to the Fable II page - it SHOULD say "Already Purchased" and then select add to queue.

Yes.

I'm telling you, it doesn't work. Not from the net.

Worked for me on the net(with a silver account). Too bad I don't have an xbox at this moment.

Wait.. it says on the slickdeals website that you have to have the most up to date dashboard on your 360.

Was the new dashboard released today?

Also, Slickdeals is now reporting the deal is dead, according to the comments page.

FML.

For whatever it's worth, there are a pile of MS employees saying that this is only for the first chapter, and that you have to buy the rest of the chapters from the Marketplace to keep playing it.

Also, it's not working anymore anyway.

FYI the new dashboard isn't out until November- for Kinnect and I the new searchable Netflix app which I assume means netflix.ca streaming since there is no cuing system on Netflix.ca
