[W]hen you pre-order Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts n Bolts (from selected retailers) you will receive a code which allows you to gain access to the classic Banjo-Kazooie game via the Xbox Live Arcade for FREE and before it is released to the general public.

The deal is actually pretty sweet, with the rest of the Xbox Live members having to wait till after the retail game launches which will be "a couple of weeks" after you gain access to it.

One of the biggest advantages to pre-ordering the game is you finally get to play the Stop n Swop feature which was scratches from the Nintendo 64 version. Stop N' Swop rewards players' accomplishments in the new game with extra content and features in the Xbox LIVE Arcade game, giving fans who pre-order "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" the chance to experience more Banjo action than ever.

While there is no official release date for the Xbox Live Arcade version of Banjo-Kazooie, Microsoft has promised the pre-order codes will give you atleast a two week head start. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts n Bolts is set to be on retailers' shelves on November 14th.
