That’s more like it! This is the kind of pre-order incentive that will force me into my car for a trip down to Gamestop even at today’s insane gas prices.

Now, only if we knew exactly WHICH retailers will be offering this. I am certain that Gamestop will but they cannot confirm at this time. The full press release after the jump.

[update- Gamestop and Amazon both offer the pre-order special.]

Pre-order a copy of “Fable II,” and earn or gamble away in-game gold via Xbox LIVE® Arcade Fable® II Pub Games in preparation for the game’s full retail launch later this year.

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios today announced that consumers who pre-order a copy of the Xbox 360™ exclusive, “Fable II,” at participating retailers worldwide, will be given free access to download the “Fable II” Pub Games when they are released this August.  Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade, fans can transfer the gold earned in these casino-style mini-games to the world of “Fable II,” when the game is available later this year.

The final names of the Xbox LIVE Arcade “Fable II” Pub Games (which will be available as one download) are: “Keystone,” which is a combination of Craps and Roulette, “Spinnerbox,” which is an updated take on slot machines, and “Fortune’s Tower,” which is a press your luck style of game. The download will also include a Shell, which is a tutorial of all three games.
