    I got mine. I was reading over at NeoGAF that people were reporting mass shortages of cards, but my Gamestop had a huge-ass stack of them when I picked it up. I was like "yessssssss thank you". I haven't played it yet though. I did download it.

    I'm not getting Nuts and Bolts until it goes down in price and then I'll get it used with my edge card so no BK yet. I'll DL eventually though.

    Same here. The least they could do is e-mail us our codes while we wait for Nuts and Bolts to ship, or offer us some explanation as to why our game hasn't even left the warehouse yet. This will be the last time I pre-order anything from Amazon -- very disappointing service.

    Same here as well. It'd be nice if they could've email me my B-K 1 code.  That'd actually be nice.  I want to play the original before the 360 one, but i know I won't if I have the new one.

    Yeah, I wanted to play the first one before the new one as well. I even chose the "Super Saver Free" shipping that takes longer to deliver so I could play the original game while I waited for Nuts and Bolts, but since Amazon hasn't sent the code yet I basically shot myself in the foot by not choosing the normal shipping.

    Hmmm, good to hear I'm not an isolated case. It's weird though, Amazon has been pretty damn good to me in the past.

    Yeah, I didn't even know the game was delayed until I checked that my order hasn't been shipped.
    Its kind of a bummer though, that not only does your game not come on release day, but you have to wait five days for your bonus codes.

    I already beat it...on Tuesday.  I really got sucked into it.  It makes me excited for Banjo-Tooie.  That other Banjo game...doesn't really count.

    I got the code from Amazon like an hour ago.

    I'm also noticing that the game really isn't in widescreen, its just stretched out.

    At least I feel like that's how it looks.

    EDIT

    And effing goddamn inverted looking controls. >:(

    To get the game, Nuts & Bolts, in the post and get my XBLA code with it. And, as i'm typing, the mail came and there was no game there. What a terrible start to the day.

    Ahhhh...you meant "post" as in the mail. My copy of the game hasn't even shipped from Amazon yet...I think it ships tomorrow, which means I'll likely get it on Monday. At least I got my code today! :)

    I was very relieved when I woke up this morning to find my Amazon pre-order code had arrived. I won't even be able to download it until Saturday since I don't have my 360 at my school dorm, but I can manage knowing the code is safely tucked away in my inbox.

    I absolutely love the first BK, one of my top 10 games, and the first time I played it was only 3 and a half years ago. So anyone who is checking it out for the first time is definitely gonna have a blast. It has aged very well.

    Gamestop just shipped my copy of Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts Wednesday (11/12/08). I am great full they gave me the code for the original B-K before Nuts & Bolts got here.

    If you pre-ordered it, the free XBLA game negates the price to $25, essentially.

    That is the exact reason I pre-ordered the game, that is way too good of a deal to pass up.

    I never got the code. I called Gamestop earlier today and they said I'd get it sometime today in an email, so that's good. If you can't tell by my avatar, yeah, it's one of my all-time favorite games. Possibly 2nd or 3rd overall. I'm ashamed to admit I never bought the game, so when I heard about the preorder deal, I jumped right on it.

    Is Banjo Kazooie being released later today? I've checked around online and some sites aka Shitstop claim that it won't be released till December.
