Update: Microsoft told Kotaku it will be "monitoring submissions from users looking to abuse the system" and tracking requests and gamertags associated," suggesting owners of the regular edition may not receive the bonus Limited Edition content.

Exactly what measures will be used in this process were not disclosed, though the game disc contained within the Limited Edition of Fable II appears to be the exact same disc found in the regular edition.

Original Story: Addressing a blunder that saw some copies of Lionhead's Fable II Collector's Edition (360) ship without the access codes for in-game bonus content, publisher Microsoft is now giving the codes away via the game's official support site.

To receive a free download code for the bonus content--the major incentive to pay $70 for the limited edition instead of $60 for the regular edition--gamers simply need to register on the site with their Windows Live ID. A code will be sent out within five working days, with the website giveaway ending on December 31, 2008.

The download unlocks three pieces of extra content for the action-RPG--the Hall of the Dead dungeon, Wreckager legendary cutlass weapon, and Halo-themed Spartan armor and energy sword--that are stored on the game disc but cannot be accessed otherwise.

With the bonus content now being given away, the 'Making-of' DVD marks the only remaining exclusive for the $70 Collector's Edition, which was once far more ambitious.
