Fable chat coming to Xbox Live

Microsoft has today announced that the latest event in its Play the Star program will allow players to participate in a Fable chat with Peter Molyneux and both Simon and Dene Carter of Big Blue Box while playing them at Crimson Skies. The event is scheduled to get under way at 7pm GMT on February 18 and is expected to last for approximately 90 minutes.

"We've got a fantastic year of exclusive events lined up for Xbox Live subscribers," said Michel Cassius, senior director of Xbox platform and marketing. "Not only does Xbox Live offer the best online gaming experience, with some of the coolest titles around, but it also gives gamers the chance to go head-to-head with the biggest stars in music and games."

To take part in the Fable chat, players simply need to add the developers' gamertags to their friends list (Lionhead1 for Peter and Lionhead2 for Simon and Dene), log in on February 18, and wait to see if they get invited to the dogfight.
