Great deal. Will pre-order it now.

That's awesome. I'm actually gonna pre-order this game, and I never pre-order games.

Is this for all regions or just NTSC? I'd be well up for it though if it's PAL too.

I thought BK meant burger king, game looks neat though!

"I thought BK meant burger king, game looks neat though!"

I just saw the article on the home page here.  Sounds like an amazing deal.  But games that are that low of a price usually concern me.  However, this game looks in good shape so I shouldn't worry.  At the very least, I will have a free downloadable version of Banjo Kazooie, one of my all-time favorites.

Might be a cool deal.  I'll have to look at Nuts & Bolts a bit more first.

Is there something I'm missing with this $40 price point?

I mean Shadowrun, an original game with no established franchise and no single-player mode to speak of, retailed for $60. So why would Banjo-Kazooie, a fully-featured first-party game with an already established fan base, not go for the same price? I guess I just don't understand why Microsoft is being so generous. I'm not complaining, but I have a nagging feeling that we aren't being fully informed of something.

They want to use Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata to expand their audience, and they must think that they need lower price points to accomplish that."

40 bucks is great, in my opinion.
Not sure if I'll get the XBLA Banjo since I still have the cart, but if its coming with extra stuff... hmm.

This is one of the best gaming deals of the rest of this year.  I mean seriously?  $40 for a pretty awesome looking game with the classic included for nothing more than the need to go to GameStop and pre-order?  I'll take that any day.  Plus, I never owned a N64, but I played Banjor at my friend's house and boy did I love it.  Now I can own it on my 360.  Sweet.

I don't really have a good way to play 360 whenever I want, so I hope it will come to PC.

Can't fucking wait. Pre-ordering when I pick up Mercs 2.

Really great deal....I suppose I'll be pre-ordering it this weekend.

This is great news because this game is a good deal and I get a free game if I pre-order.

What a killer deal!, glad I pre-ordered the game!, way to go Rare!, etc. etc.

Seriously though, this has got to be one of the best gaming deals in a while.

What's the dead-line to get this offer?

The day before it comes out...?
