This is the line I saw that made me think you meant both cost $80 each. Why would you say $329 - $60 - $60 if you know Unity and Black Flag would never be that much for a publisher's cost?

Ohh, I was talking about the free game promotion with the AC Unity bundle. Many stores on black friday were offering a free game worth $60 on top of the AC Unity bundle, all for $329. 

Oh, then that's the retailer paying that, not MS. If a retailer is giving out a free game or a gift card then they are trying to get the consumer to buy from their store.

But that's what I don't get. Why would every major retailer accept such a big loss? The MS store had the offer too.
