You should jump on the Banjo pre-order deal.

Yes, that is a very good deal.

Fable looks great, day one buy for me. Banjo looks awesome too, but I'll wait for reviews and drop in price a bit, even for $40 it's probably a great deal.

the Banjo screens look very colorful and great!

Funny thought: Banjo looks better than Fable.

Looks nice. Can't wait for both.

A lot of people are excited about the pre-order deal for banjo. I think that helped change a lot of peoples minds about it. Both are day 1 purchases for me, aslong as I have enough money.

Rare also stated that it was M$'s idea to have the price be $40 and include the Banjo arcade game. They said it was definitely not because the game had less content than any other game. I think the game looks like great fun.
