Changed and Added XBLA Banjo News

Rather than the originally planned November 14th release date for Nuts and Bolts, it is now going to be the 11th. Along with the changed date of Nuts and Bolts, the original Banjo Kazooie XBLA preorder item will be released on the 11th as well, making it 2+ weeks earlier than the public release of the game.

If you’re curious as to where you can pre-order the game, Rare’s site has you covered:

UK: Amazon, Play.com, Game and Gamestation
USA: Amazon, EBGames, GameStop and GameCrazy
FRANCE: Micromania and Game
SPAIN: Game
ITALY: GameStop
SCANDINAVIA: Game and GameStop

“Other countries known to be running the promotion but with no specific retailer info as yet: CANADA, JAPAN, IRELAND, GERMANY, AUSTRIA, BENELUX, SWITZERLAND, AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND, probably not Uzbekistan or Narnia.“

Last, but certainly not least, IGN has the first video of the Banjo Kazooie XBLA and if that wasn't enough, there is also a youtube video of some lucky guy getting the release of the game before the people that get it before the public.
