Anyone getting Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts? I've got a pre-order due to the low price and the free Banjo XBLA game. But with all the other games coming out, I don't know if there's gonna be any time to play it.

I'm thinking about getting this. It's cheap and the free Banjo XBLA game is very nice.

I plan on getting or at least playing:

Fallout 3
Fable 2
Gears of War 2
Quantum of Solace

I don't have faith that Call of Duty 5 will be good.

Add AC/DC Rock Band to the list that I'm picking up. All of the others I listed earlier are all paid for and some of them are free.

The only things I'm picking up right away are:

Fable 2 (wife would kill me if I didn't)
Banjo Kazooie ($40 and free XBLA game is a no-brainer)

Everything else can wait. I haven't played any other games since RB2 came out, and am slowly going back through all of the songs on every instrument to log scores. That will take me quite a long time, and will end up saving me money in the long run, as all of these games will be cheaper/used down the road.

I'm actually playing the crap out of Tales of Vesperia at the moment (although my 360 just died yesterday so hopefully I'll get a quick turn around on that). So I'll be purchasing a lot but most down the line probably. Silent Hill 5, Fallout 3, Fable 2 (maybe), and probably others!

My sights are on one game and one only...Gears 2. All indications say this one is a major upgrade from Gears 1. SP mode is even better but new MP modes are the rage on this one with "Horde" being the one I'm looking forward to.

My only active preorder is Fallout 3 (I normally don't do preorders unless there's some bonus; I got a 10$ GC and the LE, so that's worth it.)
I did have Fable II preordered till the LE snafu.
New/upcoming releases on the top of my list:
Fallout 3
Fable 2
MK vs DCU (maybe)
Lego Batman
GHWT (disk only)
Banjo Kazooie
Scene It BoS
Left 4 Dead

(I don't have a PS3).

Most, other than Fallout and maybe BK, will be on the Christmas list or Goozex request list...just can't afford to drop a bunch of money on games for myself this season. Plus, buying so many good games coming out at one time means I can't/don't really focus on any of them, so I'll stagger the purchases and enjoy them more (and potentially save money with price drops).
Circuitcity.com is offering the BK DL code as well. "FREE game code
FREE Xbox LIVE head start code for original Banjo-Kazooie with pre-order
Code will be shipped with game."
