Assassin's Creed 4 drops to $30

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is currently on sale through Amazon for $30, or half-off the game's normal $60 asking price. The deal is valid for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC versions, not the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 iterations, however.

It appears GameStop wants in on the action as well, as the retailer announced a special weekend sales promotion good January 17-19 led by Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for $30. Just like Amazon, this deal is good only for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC versions.

Other notable software offers in GameStop's weekend sale include:

• Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition - $49.99 (PS4, PS3, X360)
