Pre-Order Banjo-Kajooie: Nuts & Bolts Gets Free, Early Access to XBLA Original

[Robert1986]

Awesome deal! I missed out on the original when it was on the N64.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts goes on pre-order sale today for $40 and if you place your order for the Xbox 360 game before it hits on Nov. 14 you'll get a free download code for the original Banjo-Kazooie hitting Xbox Live Arcade later this fall.

Better still, that code gives you access to the Live Arcade game two weeks before it hits the Arcade for everyone else. The XBLA title will include something called Stop N' Swop, which rewards players' accomplishments in the new game with extra content and features in the Live arcade game.

isn't that an issue of who owns what etc etc

Though I see your point over the example of this game

Not going to happen, ever.

Looks like a US only deal, well none of the major UK etailers are advertising it

& since when has 14th of November been Fall? My birthday's the 13th and thats always been classed as winter

It had better. I would literally pay full price for it (£40).

Won't come out unless microsoft and nintendo do business together.

 

[Buffman]

40$ :O thats damn cheap. This is a good offer, though if its only available from a specific purple retailer at £50 then I'll just wait the 2 weeks and buy it with my points

 

[Sinny]

Preordered this ages ago. Hopefully the e-tailer will honour a deal and i will get the code. If not i'll just cancel it and reorder

They should do as it could be released on the Wii too then. win-win isn't it?

its not a microsoft-nintendo problem its a problem with who currently owns the bond license which i believe is EA ?

 

[Tesla]

There is a Banjo Kazooie N64 trailer on XBLA at the moment. Bit random.

 

[Weebull]

Haha, Stop 'N' Swop, genius.

Winter doesn't start until 23rd Dec.

So no UK retailers are doing this offer?

This.

Activision own it now.

 

[Spikey]

I've had this on pre-order for a while and the place I ordered from has this offer on, seems like a bargain considering the XBLA original is worth about £10and it's a bonus getting it two weeks early I guess!

At least one is Got my pre-order with them as it seems a great deal with the free game too.

Hmm, works out a fiver more expensive than other places though.

I used quidco, a £3 off voucher (which I googled for as they always seem to be about) and the next cheapest place I could find that would deliver on release day was £37.99 anyway so it worked out less than that and I still know I'll get it on the Friday
With the voucher it worked out as £36.99 and I can't remember how much quidco was.

Voucher has expired
