This years' Xbox Live Black Friday Sale is now up for Gold subscribers and will be available to everyone on the November 22. The sale ends on November 28.
The full list of games on sale is a bit of a doozy so I won't copy the list in its entirety here. Both Major Nelson and this NeoGAF thread are updating games on sale as they pop up.
Some choice picks that I noticed are a Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 bundle for €75, The Master Chief Collection for €15, Rare Replay for €9,99, The Witcher 3 for €20 and so on. Keep in mind that the sale also applies to backwards compatible 360 games like Red Dead Redemption, Trials HD, Alan Wake etc. Play Anywhere titles like Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and Recore will be on sale as well at some point during the week, so interested PC users should also keep a look-out.
EDIT: Fixed the title. I was a little too hopeful that we'd be out of 2016 already.
First, thank you for posting this, it's very helpful.
However, and I'm not super familiar with European pricing, but those deals you listed in particular are NOT good deals, IMO... I mean, I already got T2 and B1, for $51 USD, total (boxed versions using a best buy sale and their gamers club/rewardzone)! Masterchief has been less than that many times already as well. Witcher 3 as well, I think.
It really annoys me that MS and Sony are both SO ignorant about digital pricing and how to do it well. It ONLY makes sense for them to push everyone who possibly can to go all digital (since they make probably 5x as much profit per sale without the manufacturing, distribution, retail shelf space payoffs, and retail/middleman profit cuts)... and yet they always make the pricing and sales significantly worse than on boxed products!
WTF, is logic that hard for MS/Sony? Or is it pure hubris? You don't even have to come up with a simple, logical idea yourself, you could just copy Steam and at least be SOMEWHAT competitive...
Also, just based on comments I'm still seeing all the time... why is ANYONE still paying full price for any game, anymore? Even on release date, you never have to pay full price aside from a few exceptions (Blizzard games, or games you want on PC that don't come in a boxed retail version and just sell digitally at full price). Seriously, and I feel like an ad for Best Buy at this point (or Amazon is close too), so please forgive me for repeating this in multiple threads... just get Gamers club and rewardzone at BB and you always get 20% off any boxed game at any price, and 5-10% back in gift cards (rewardzone certificates). It even worked on the FULL BAND set for Rock Band 4, which paid for my gamers club's ($30) subscription itself for 4 years in my case. Plus they have a deal now too for pre-orders where you get another $10 gift card with the purchase too... So I've bought a plethora of games this season for $35, on release date!
