Fable HD Coming to Xbox 360

The video above, posted to the official Lionhead YouTube channel, more than hits at a HD version of the original game, although this should be viewed as a teaser rather than a full confirmation. Although it says that Fable HD is coming to Xbox 360, basically in black and white, it doesn't actually expressly confirm anything. Don't you just love video game trailers?
