[quote name='Josef']I think the key here is the OP got a USED copy of the CE. Gamestop only has one listing for used copies of Fable III, so if someone trades in a used CE it will be sold as normal used copy of the regular game. OP lucked out in that the contents were still sealed when it was traded in.
Bottom line, unless GS does one of those conversions of all NEW copies to USED, you will be extremely lucky to find the same thing as the OP.[/QUOTE]
Actually, whenever GS clears out their CE editions, they convert them to used in their system. However, they do not typically gut them in any way, so often they are brand new. You can also use your discount card on them, or use them in used game sales as the system treats it as such.
Edit - I didn't see your second line for some reason where you discuss the conversion. I have seen it mentioned by numerous people here that they get theirs sealed when this occurs, but perhaps it is more rare than I thought.
