It has the release dates of all the games as far as gamestop is aware.

The thing that caught my eye was the price of Banjo! Xmote link confirmed with cheaper price?

The last one is Alan Wake, usually with Microsoft games AFAIK if you can pre-order it, it has a pretty solid release date. So could the game actually be coming out LATE this year, perhaps 1-2 weeks before Xmas? If so that would be fantastic news for those people who have been waiting for AGES to play the game. Me? I know nothing about it, it sounds too good for me to ruin the suspense by looking for every bit of info about the game. It says 31/12/2008 for Alan Wait.



Tease.

Microsoft came out and said they are yet to confirm any BK pricing details. Amazon has/had the game listed for $59.95.

As for Alan Wake. I won't ruin you're suspense, but if it comes out this year it is a 2008 must-buy.

"Retailers typically include non-final placeholder information on their sites for future releases," a Microsoft representative told GameSpot. "Please note that we have yet to confirm any specific pricing details for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts."

That seems fairly unconfirmed to me

But why would they even need to confirm it at all? Don't pretty much all big console games come out at the same price as every other game? That makes me question... :D

Tease.

Funny how the Xmote is the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the thread title. o_O

well if it wants to get any attention from 360 owners when they have fable 2 and gears of war 2(which is around the same time as the release date for this banjo game) it should be priced like this.

OMG Rock Band 2 Special Ed = $200! I never thought the day would come that a game would cost that much. That is almost as much as the Wii.

Alan Wake is unconfirmed.

No game would ever launch on 12/31/08

If that is true, smart move. Make the casual games less expensive. I cannot wait till E3.

Since when is Banjo-Kazooie casual? It's more like family entertainment, games that entertain everybody, hardcore to casual.
The better term would be casual-friendly, I guess.

OT: Yes! Now I can buy this game first day! That is, when it's going to cost 40 euro's in Europe. I hope so. But I refuse to buy any games of more than 50 euro's, with exceptions for REALLY good 60 euro games that I know I will like. Damn games are getting too expensive.
