Most people who are waiting on the edge of their seats to find the release date! Well. Because I am a FaNaTiC with the 'Fable' series (playing them over and over / 10+ or more), I have found out the release dateS. Yes, there is not any real set date. different game sites, shop sites, etc, say different things! So here is a reference to use if you're curious about the release date.
Amazon.com - Will ship out around October 30th, 2008
CircuitCuity.com - Will ship out on January 1st, 2009
BestBuy.com - Will ship out around December 15th, 2008 (Ask for it for the winter holidays!)
Wikipedia.org - Say it will be Late 2008.
EBgames.com - Says, believe it or not and this is quoted!, "Pre-order Ships 10/1/2008"
IGN.com - Say that the game will be out in Fall 2008!
That's all I have found for now. And until it comes out, I'll dig up info and keep you updated and posted!
