25/9/08: Freebie and the Bear
Latest Viva Piñata news! Not really. This time we've rounded up all the details to date on the Nuts & Bolts pre-order scheme with the Banjo-Kazooie XBLA giveaway, because you asked and we love you. |
|
For the blissfully unaware: it's an offer allowing those who pre-order Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (from certain retailers in certain territories – see below) to download the Xbox Live Arcade version of the original Banjo-Kazooie not only for free, but roughly two weeks in advance of its public release date. Which is not just awesome, but awesome in the voice of the surfer dude fish from SpongeBob SquarePants.
You'll get the free B-K download token on or near the time you pick up Nuts & Bolts, and for the period between the two game launches (Nuts & Bolts on November 11th/14th in US/Europe; B-K XBLA now December 3rd), only N&B pre-order customers will be able to download and play B-K XBLA.
The price of Nuts & Bolts will vary by region (so it's no good shouting at us, disgruntled Brits) and Microsoft is still in the process of finalising all the territorial details, but here's what we know of participating countries and retailers so far...
