Fable Pre-Order for $30.99 Shipped

Pre_order Fable for $30.99 Shipped!
Wow, this is a great deal. Just saw it at Outpost.com for $30.99 with free shipping. Too bad I've already "prepurchased" it; because that's one hell of a bargain.


Here's the link

Don't forget Silent Hill 4 (XBOX) is $29.99 too. If you purchase Fable and Silent Hill together and get FREE SHIPPING

Just ordered, but outpost pretty much never honors misprices from what i've seen so i'm not holding out a sliver of hope.

I'm not sure if it's a misprice or just a great sale price. The site states "Limit 1 Per Customer ".

Can't be a misprice. It's prominantly featured on the home page of the site as one of This Week's Specials with the price. That's the way I found out about it, looking for something else. See for yourself: www.outpost.com

Isn't Outpost notorious for taking forever to ship things? Or are they pretty reliable when it comes to pre-orders?

I just ordered the title, however, I don't think I'm going to get it. The site still charged shipping when it was supposed to "ship free" according to the icon on the item page. I use the "one time use" credit card numbers online, so if they try to charge me the price with shipping it's not going to go through. I add $1.00 or so for "padding" in the price, but I didn't take into account the $6.43 they wanted to charge for shipping.

KIrstenS, do a search for "Fable" and you should find it as the first item on the result page.

To get free shipping you have to choose the ground shipping...It doesn't select that one by default.

I double checked before I submitted and both of my confirmations, on screen and email say "Ground Shipping - $6.43."

It is still listed at $30 on that page but when you add it to your cart it shows up as $50.

I just called outpost and got the game for a total of $30.99.
Very nice and helpful customer service.

same experience as Commando, they're apparently getting flooded with these calls, because as soonas I said "$30.99" the CSR said "Fable, huh?" No expected ship date, as it's out of stock now...

Well they cancelled my order since the one time credit card total was less than the total with shipping. I called back, got a guy explained my situation and he shot me down with "it's not available to order anymore."

Called back and got a nice lady, did a little sweet talkin' and offered to show proof of the price last night and I should be getting it for $30.99 with free shipping.

If it doesn't happen it wasn't meant to be, but I'm hoping!

Their website still lists it as a "Preorder." I've never order through them before, so I don't know if it takes them a while to update the item status/order status.
