From G-spot:

Anyone who preorders the Xbox RPG from EB Games, GameStop, Circuit City, GameRush, GameCrazy, or Trans World will receive a limited-edition DVD with a free "making of" documentary that chronicles the game's development at Lionhead Studios subsidiary Big Blue Box. The as-yet-unnamed doc will sport interviews with Lionhead CEO Peter Molyneux, as well as Big Blue Box cofounders Simon Carter and Ian Lovett.

The disc also includes playable demos of several other Xbox games, including Sudeki, Rallisport Challenge 2, and Top Spin. Several E3 2004 gameplay trailers for MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf, Forza Motorsport, Jade Empire, and Conker: Live and Reloaded will be on the DVD as well.

As part of its preorder announcement, Microsoft nailed down Fable's exact release date. Last month, a post on the official Fable FAQ revealed that it would arrive in "September." Microsoft today officially said that it is "set to hit retail shelves in the United States on September 14."

* I'll have to check out the price of these "pre-orders" before I decide if it's worth it or not.

I'm not too big into making-of documentaries, but that's just me. I'll probably just buy the "plain Jane" version. But the good news is we have a release date now, and that's awesome!

I have the DVD, see my post "Fable Bonus DVD." I also updated my impressions of the Sudeki demo if anyone cares.

Ya, I saw your post Impresario, I was just kind-of "adding" to it. A specific date, a little more details on the extras, and some more stores that were offering the pre-order.
