http://redump.org/disc/105806/
Like the other variants, name should be changed to Fable II: Game of the Year Edition, and Rev 2 deleted, Since the Classics content are known to match the GOTY release, it's just that the Classics rerelease was dumped first was dumped first.
If I recall correctly, this one was unusual because other regions only had Original and GOTY, whereas Russia has 2 Rev + GOTY ?
Anyway, let's keep this thread open so we can decide how we want to treat "GOTY" for other regions too - whether in main title, datname modifier, or just edition field.
Rev 0:
MS203301W0X11 English - USA, Europe, Asia
MS203302W0X11 French - France/Canada
MS203303W0X11 Japanese - Japan (Limited Edition)
MS203304W0X11 German - Germany (Exists, undumped)
MS203305W0X11 Italian - Italy
MS203306W0X11 Spanish - Spain
MS203307W0X11 Latin American Spanish - Mexico/LATAM (Exists, undumped)
MS203308W0X11 Russian - Russia
Rev 1:
MS203318W0X11 English - USA (Original), Asia (Console Bundle with Halo 3)
MS203319W0X11 French - France (Unconfirmed, undumped), - Console Bundle with Halo 3?
MS203320W0X11 German - Germany (Original)
MS203321W0X11 Spanish - Spain (Console Bundle with Halo 3)
MS203322W0X11 Italian - Italy (Console Bundle with Halo 3)
MS203323W0X11 ???
MS203324W0X11 ???
MS203325W0X11 Russian - Russia (Classics)
Rev 2 "Game of the Year":
MS203326W0X11 English - USA, Europe
MS203327W0X11 French - France (Console Bundle (Classics) with Halo Wars)
MS203328W0X11 German - Germany (Game of the Year Edition)
MS203329W0X11 Spanish - Spain (Game of the Year Edition, Console Bundle)
MS203330W0X11 Italian - Italy (Game of the Year Edition)
MS203331W0X11 ???
MS203332W0X11 ???
MS203333W0X11 Russian - Russia (Classics)
As not all "Rev 2" discs explicitly call themselves "Game of the Year", and *if* the in-game title/boot screen does not use the words "Game of the Year", then because they are the same SKU (MS-2033), I think "Game of the Year" should be removed from the main title.
The datname then either becomes (Rev 2) or (Edition Name) - if we are certain that it is specific to that edition.

GOTY was first released in Europe. Every GOTY is then explicitly called "Game of the Year" + as you saw in the pic I sent on Discord, the NA Platinum Hits release is actually referres to as "Fable II Game of the Year" on the manual. However, since the edition is not on game title/boot screen, then according to Redump rules, the games should be renamed to "Fable 2", and datfile modifier set to "Game of the Year" (Gioco dell ano for Italy)
Also, for the ring codes gap :
MS203319 should be French Rev 1 ( I think you removed it by mistake from the wiki, should be added back)
MS203323 should be LATAM Rev 1
MS203324 should be Japanese Rev 1
MS203331 should be LATAM GOTY
MS203332 should be Japanese Platinum Collection (the only one maybe not called GOTY, dumper will have to take a look a the manual/back)
And for Russia was the same as other European countries, fix was just made before we knew about the Rev 0 --> Rev 1 --> GOTY structure of the Fable II dumps, and it happens that it was the only country were the Classics rerelease was dumped before GOTY at the time - hence the comments.

I could not find any mention of GOTY on Pouch's French Console Bundle (with Halo Wars).
The fact that some "Classics" releases without any mention of GOTY match the GOTY games, means that GOTY should not be in the main title.

Yeah but that Classics release is something that happened several months / year after the GOTY edition, and it's just a rerelease, same as these Playstation dumps with 10 different serials, datname ends up being the name of the first release (GOTY in our case, released in early 2009), not the 9 rereleases (Standalone Classics rereleaseb/ Bundled Classics rerelease that happened from 2010 onwards).
Also the content is indeed the same as the other GOTY dumps, bar the language of course.
We're just unlucky that the first dump is not the actual GOTY editions but a random rerelease - same as the Russian GOTY.
So the name should be Fable II (Game of the year edition)
Yes, I mean that because some releases do not mention GOTY, there should only be two options:
Main Title: Fable II
Datname modifier: Rev 2, or Game of the Year
I have removed all "Game of the Year Edition" from main title, and set all GOTY-equivalent revisions to (Rev 2) because it's not always sold as GOTY, and does not mention GOTY within the game itself.
