Fable 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/fable-3), the game in the series we all tried to forget until something worse came along in Fable Heroes (http://www.joystiq.com/game/fable-heroes), is currently free on the Xbox Marketplace. It's still unclear if this is a bug, since the way you obtain it gratis is a little convoluted, or if this is some portend to today's Microsoft press conference (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/10/xbox-e3-2013-liveblog-on-joystiq/).
Here's how to get the game for free (which we've tested): You must be an Xbox Gold member. Head on over to the game's page and click purchase (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Fable-III/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5308d6?noSplash=1). Yes, it says that it's $20 (or whatever it is in your regional currency). Now comes the important part, make sure you are paying with Microsoft Points, not with your credit card. You should see a screen similar to the one above that lists the game for free.
Enjoy! As much as anybody can enjoy Fable 3.
