Post by: coolimac2003 on November 21, 2008, 06:57:50 AM

Does it take a while to get a response? I'm surprised they don't like, go back to their records or anything to verify you even pre-ordered from them! I'm excited to get it :)

Do they have EBGames in the UK?  I have no moral objection to do this to them.  They rip people off left and right.
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: SKullinator on November 22, 2008, 01:51:21 AM
yeah, back when I was a youngen ebgames cleaned my pocket and video game collection out pretty damn good. I traded in an n64 and a good 11 games, ram expansion, 4 memcards, and 4 controllers. The deal ened with a DC, 2 controllers, a vmu, and like 2 games. Although i got more enjoyment out of the DC but it was still a horrible trade. (took place after the DC died too)

Anyways *crossing fingers* and hopes he gets the code b4 ms figures it out.


BTW: coolimac how did you find out about this? or did u discover it?
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: coolimac2003 on November 22, 2008, 02:18:21 AM
i found out on gamefaqs. and i did it and it worked. it tooked me 7 or 9 hours to get the code.
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: SKullinator on November 22, 2008, 02:43:36 AM
Ok, thats not good then... I hope news of this doesnt spread fast. As soon as MS finds out they'll wise up. Just like when you could get a years worth of 48 hour live subscriptions from that juice site.

I have no soul so this has no moral effect on me whatsoever.
Emailed them twice today. hahahahaha.   Now lets see if this shit works. it sure would be nice to illegaly own a legal copy of the game.

Do you?
This would be a great b-day present from Microsoft (besides the new NXE update ;))
I emailed them about 20 hours ago, it IS a weekend so it might take a bit to get a code.

Downloading games doesn't lose anyone any money directly. Presumably EB pay so much to the publishers for each game they sell. When you do this they have to pay the publishers but don't make any money from it.
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: coolimac2003 on November 22, 2008, 08:06:10 PM
I hate the god damn NXE. All my good games crash within 5-10 minutes where as my old boring games run good. its not my console because i exchanged it for a new one and its doing the same thing.

I'm still waiting on the code. I emailed them friday night. I'm hoping it will be here on monday. I'm guessing that they dont work on sat/sun, that or they've figured out our plan.
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: willplayer on November 23, 2008, 10:05:30 PM
It could be a bit of both ... they have to respond to each email that's sent to them so I'm sure I'll get a response soon. I'm sure we all will.

Scamming them is no different to downloading a game you dont own.
Look at it this way lets say little Jimmy is selling his old NES collection the games he has for sale are not worth much but whatever he earns is going towards a new copy of Halo 6, The guy who wants to buy those games decides to just emulate them and downloads the roms now little Jimmy has no buyer he cant support the developers he once loved and has now resorted to crack.

Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: wickidweasel on November 23, 2008, 11:27:21 PM

Now I just download the latest iso's so I screw the corporations before it gets to the little Jimmy stage :)

I preordered Banjo Kazooie through you guys and never received a code to download the Banjo Kazooie game for Xbox Live Arcade! If there is any way you can help me I would totally appreciate it! Thanks!

This is what I emailed them. I didn't say online, so they might possibly assume otherwise.

I've waited way over 48 hours. I preordered Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and didn't receive my code for the Xbox Live Arcade game Banjo Kazooie. I was wondering if I could get the code to download it online since my local gamestop is over 30 miles away? Thanks so much in advance!

Is what I sent them just now so maybe I'll get a better response than no response at all.

Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: SKullinator on November 25, 2008, 09:26:25 AM
yeah. If you pre-ordered bk nuts and bolts you got a download code for the original BK and you get the chance to download it before the rest of the public, and when its released to the rest of the public it will be 1200ms points.
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie

If this was for the New Nuts n Bolts I wouldn't have bothered ... at all. The OLD BK is where the classic platforming is!

is this game identical to the n64 version?
It has better audio quality, wide screen, HD, the frame rate is alot better (60fps all the time), and almost everything 'nintendo' removed.
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
Post by: willplayer on November 28, 2008, 06:40:30 AM
its pretty much the exact same thing but there are differences since it's on 360. They've apparently even fixed it at the end so you can actually reach and unlock this one secret area. You needed a key to get in there  in the 64 version but Rare never bothered with it or something. Very mysterious if you ask me ... so anyways that's probably the BIGGEST difference. The lil differences have to do with the whole 360 environment (Bottles telling you to press X instead of B and etc) and then when Bottles informs you that you've unlocked a Gamer Picture lol ...
Title: Re: Free Banjo-kazooie
