    I'm not normally the kind to clip coupons and stay up on deals, but even a dolt like me can respond when something like this is staring me in the face.

    Amazon is selling Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for the criminally low price of $25.99, which is down from the regular price of $39.99... which is already a stupid good deal. I seriously don't understand why Microsoft wouldn't charge full price for Nuts & Bolts, but perhaps I should just shut up about that before I give them any stupid ideas. If they want to make games cheaper, who am I to complain?

    There's probably a very dark side to all this, of course. Nuts & Bolts is still a pretty new release, and it's strange that it would get cut so soon. I have to imagine that means it's not moving very many copies. Around here, we sort of can't stop talking about it. But since it isn't all dark and brooding like all the big sellers are, I guess I'm not completely surprised that it isn't catching on as well as it should.

    You've probably already heard us endorse the game to death on the podcast, so I'll refrain from getting all touchy-feely on you and instead say YO YOU SHOULD BUY THAT.

    I really hope this does well. Maybe they would realize how well a new Slalom game would sell.

    If you don't buy Banjo Kazooie, a Pinata loses its delicious.

    I saw this played. It looked janky. My friend who is a die hard BK fan (is that an acronym for this game?) and who defended it before he even touched it was sorely disappointed. What's up GB guys? You're really into this game and not too many other places/people seem to be.

    Maybe Amazon is anticipating a Platinum Hits release.  I picked up Viva Pinata in the weird box for $20 after the platinum version was out.

    Thanks for letting me know. I have Amazon Prime so it's an even better deal for me. Should have it by next Monday for the low price of 25.99.

    I can't stop talking about it either. I've already beaten the thing and I keep getting back to it just to see what kind of weird stuff I can put together. I really hope it didn't sell THAT bad. I mean, it just came out and it's already the most overlooked game of the year. Hardly anyone is talking about it, and the ones who do have some criticism that doesn't make sense, i.e., this is no Banjo game.

    I don't usually feel bad for giant mega corporations but the people that worked on this game....hard not to feel bad for them if bad sales are the case.

    Even though I really wanted to play the original Banjo-Kazooie finally on XBL, and N&B too, it slipped my mind somehow and I missed out on the preorder deal. I figured it was a steal at the price of "$0 with the purchase of another great game", and after that I've felt all weird and couldn't bring myself to spend $15 just for the original, because "DAMN IT, I COULD'VE GOTTEN IT FOR FREE." Then, "whatever, I'll just go back to playing Rock Band 2 for 13 hours a day like I normally do" followed, as it does with most potential game purchases nowadays.

    This is the ultimate second chance; I'll take that as a sign that I really need to play these.

    If they didn't sell it for full price here, I'd most likely buy it. But since it is full price, and there's so many other games for me to still catch up on, it's simply gonna have to go to the back of the line.

    Yeah, you should totally buy that game. For $25.99? Dude that game has way more content than most $60 games. (I'm glaring at you, Mirror's Edge.)

    This deal sounds great and all but my local EB games is still giving out the pre-order bonus (Banjo-Kazooie on XBLA) with copies of the game and the clerk at the store told me on monday (December 8) that I was the first to buy the game without pre-ordering it.

    Jeff, I am not sure if I would jump to conclusions that it isn't selling well, but it is likely.

    I bought Left 4 Dead for amazon's crazy ass deal of $20 for PC. I know that was black friday, but still.


    Oh and if I didn't just spend money to build a completely new computer, I would be all over this. Maybe I still will.
