Banjo-Kazooie

I was never on the fence about the new Banjo-Kazooie game. I was interested from the first shots and videos we saw. It was always a purchase.

But I read something else that makes it a buy-right-away thing instead of a wait-a-few months thing:

1.) It's only $39.99 (I'm hoping they might follow this price with Viva Pinata 2 too).
2.) Pre-ordering it gives you a code to download the XBLA version of the original N64 Banjo-Kazooie for free, two weeks before it officially goes on sale to everyone else.

Good deal. Apparently BK2 will be hitting XBLA too, so I'm all for saving some money since I was interested in all three games.

Rare has been noticably stingy with XBLA games, their only release so far being an update of Jetpack (which, admittedly, is fun and worth $5). But this being a N64 game opens up some good opportunities too.

Hopefully this means we'll eventually see fucking Blast Corps.
