Peter Molyneux, the Lead Designer on Fable II for the Xbox 360, has hinted at the possibility of the title being released digitally.
This means that the Xbox Live Marketplace may soon start to sell full sized Xbox 360 titles through their service, assuming what Molyneux says is true. Full Xbox 360 titles available as downloadable games would certainly be an interesting concept, especially for the world of gaming consoles.

This means that the Xbox Live Marketplace may soon start to sell full sized Xbox 360 titles through their service, assuming what Molyneux says is true. Full Xbox 360 titles available as downloadable games would certainly be an interesting concept, especially for the world of gaming consoles.
Pressed on whether there were already plans for the critically-acclaimed RPG to be made available over Microsoft's Live service, Molyneux said: "I can't say anything else on it – I would be killed to death."
Microsoft, which already offers full original Xbox titles for download via its Marketplace service, has never formally revealed intentions to make full retail 360 titles available, but industry watchers have long predicted this could happen later in the console's lifecycle.
Molyneux's enthusiasm for a digital release comes after the success of the original Fable, which was made available for download on 360 earlier this year as part of the Xbox Originals range.
"It did really, really well," he revealed. "It was one of the highest selling, if not the highest selling, [Xbox Originals title]. I didn't track that exactly, but I know a lot of people got very excited about it when it came out."
