Pre-order Banjo Nuts & Bolts, get Banjo XBLA early

Microsoft has just slapped an official date on Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts and said that those who pre-order the game will get a special code to play Banjo XBLA before everyone else.

The date is November 14. But before you rush out to any old games shop to place your pre-order, be warned that only “select retailers” will get the codes.

As to who the select few are, we’ve no idea. We’re also in the dark as to whether Europe is included in the pre-order love or not.

Banjo XBLA will be released two after Nuts & Bolts if you can’t find a retailer near you.

Thanks, CVG.

Update: The game will cost a cut-price $40 too, apparently. No European price yet. Thanks, captaineurogamer.

Fantastic news, Reports on joystiq suggest in addition to getting the XBLA version free, its also gonna be 40 dollars, which will mean it could around 30 pounds here

This basically means: buy the game cheap, download loads of additional paid for content to make it fun.
