I think people are forgetting what makes a black friday deal.... bundles.

Sony had great bundles. They were practically giving the console away for FREE.

MS had abysmal bundles. The cheapest bundle only gave away Minecraft and Forza... on the PS4, you had Uncharted 4 and Fifa...

MS must have not wanted to take the profit hit which is why they didn't have good deals.

My thoughts exactly, MS didn't care about this BF or most likely this month as they know the pro was releasing. Funny really, if MS release the Scorpio just before BF then proceed to have similar deals they will be called desperate...

Does make me wonder what they will do next BF, if the Scorpio releases around that time ofc. VGC could become a very entertaining place.

Considering Microsoft were practically giving away the Xbox for FREE at last year's Black Friday, perhaps they just didn't want to do the same this year.

Don't remember you not liking MS giving away their console for two BFs straight.

And from this post we can understand you think Uncharted is better value than Forza right?

I can see the panic in your message. Specially when you forget to mention that MS usually did that kind of thing.

Don't be sad bro, you know how the world think.

I disagree Ms had Forza, Minecraft and Battlefield bundles. They cared and had great deals just like the PS4 and besides MS has been doing deals like that all freaking year anyway no big deal really. it makes for healthy competition so it is a win for us the consumers either way!

And VGC is always entertaining around the holidays....that's when it is most active thanks to everyone posting about sales and why they think console X is doing good or why console Z is doing bad and vice vera....it is the best time to be a member here!
