No Sunset (or normal standard 0_o) restock for Black Friday. COD is also limited.

It baffles me how MS went with ACU bundles this Black Friday instead of their own published games.

True but i don't worry too much because on BF those go starting at 329. That is amazing saving. I am sure during those 4 days..they will selll huge..



Praise the One.

I think the bigger deal is the pricetag rather than anything. Two free games and $70 off. THat is a total of $190 you save with one of the biggest franchises in the industry. Would have liked to have seen the Sunset Overdrive bundle be replenished but as for deals its hard to argue that XBO may possibly be the best hardware deal that we know of this holiday.

1)Pretty disappointing digital Black Friday sale on Xbox One, only 1 game is discounted to $5 and I already own it. I was really hoping to see Worms Battlegrounds on sale for $10 or less and it's not on sale at all, silly that a Worms game still costs $25 a half a year after it released. 

2)Peggle 2 for $5 (which I already own), 

The digital Black Friday sale on 360 is better at least, though I already own alot of the games that have good deals this year. I'll probably grab Brothers for $5 and Kingdoms of Amalur for $3.

1) It is possible not all deals larry said about more coming but I feel their are some good deas alreadyl.  Shadow of Mordor for 29;99 is nice, Ryse and titanfall are a good price aswell (it are the ones with the DLC included).

2) It is sad that I went out and got a 10 Euro card for nothing. That deal is pulled and probably a mistake..

3) Well yeah expected that it on 360 will better...Almost all good deals in retail are also for last generation games :s.   ...Brother is amazing btw, it was the only game that I finished without getting any achievement (and I recommend to play it wihout checking achievments a second playtrough achievements run is easy and more fun for yourself).

Yeah, the low price seems to be the main selling point, it's $70 cheaper than the PS4 bundles on Black Friday, that will likely convince parents who are on a tight shopping budget to pick up Xbox One for their kids instead of PS4. Plus you can sell the AC download codes for $40, so that's another $40 off, so you can basically get an Xbox One for $290 without any games. Plus Walmart has the $330 Halo:MCC bundle with a $30 gift card, and the $370 Halo:MCC + 1 Year Gold + Game of you choice bundle, which is a really good deal as well. And Toys R US had the AC Unity bundle with a $50 gift card yesterday, effectively making the price $300, that hopefully sold well. Black Friday week should be good despite the fact that Microsoft only has the AC bundle at most retailers. It's December I'm worried about, I have serious doubts that the AC Unity bundle can maintain sales momemtum throughout all of December. Microsoft really needs some new bundles ready by early December, preferably with the White console since it seems to be a big hit.

Makes sense but one thing though I think it depends on how well sony GTA bundles are received or  are they on a limited quantity basis. GTA normally sell well. I have no doubt sony will sell big with those. If those GTA bundles are still available going into december, MS might have a problem, only thing at their advantage is their current price. Though they have the momemtum now.. they should ride the pricecuts commercials throughout the end of the year if no new bundles will be available.

 

I may be wrong but we will see.

Ryse isn't available to purchase, might be GWG?

Edit - Nevermind, they apparently swapped it out for another version lol

Hopefully it is a AAA game though, should be Thursday (that's apparently the pattern, last Thursday every month)

Yeah, there needs to be a AAA game this month. Rumor has it that PS4 is getting it's first AAA game on PS+ for December, Injustice: Gods among Us. If MS gives out another indie it's going to look bad. If it's 2 games on Xbox One, a AAA and an indie, that's even better. 

How do you call Injustice an AAA game? If that is AAA, every retail game is AAA^^

Well, Asscreed is a big franchise but there are still more people not interested in Asscreed as people who are interested in it (same with pretty much every other game) so that you should have different options for people. Telling most people interested in an Xbox but not Asscreed "but that is crazy value" doesn't really mean much for them if they don't care about this. Sure, people can sell the digital codes but not everyone wants to put time in something after a purchase to get some money back and there are probably so many Asscreed codes available after Black >Friday that you won't get much for it (but that is only a guess) 

They should have a Dragon Age bundle and/or one more with an own game but they probably only managed to get that deal with Ubisoft (Asscreed had always deals with PS before this year after all) with saying them that they will only really push the Asscreed bundle and won't have much else to compete with it. 



Where can I see the deals page (both 360 and one)?
