https://majornelson.com/2017/11/16/xbox-live-gold-members-can-now-get-a-jump-start-on-black-friday-savings/

There's some good new games on this list with some good discounts, like Wolfenstein: New Colossus and Evil Within 2 both going for $30 each, and South Park Fractured But Whole going for $40 bundled with the current gen version of Stick of Truth, and much more. An extensive and varied list with many titles seeing substantial discounts. Happy holidays y'all...

Xbox One games:

Xbox 360 games:

Strange, your list is blank. Probably because Xbox One has no games.?

Could be a formatting issue since I copied and pasted some kind of rows/columns format from the Major Nelson blog, check the link if you can't read. I checked it on my phone, and computer in Explorer, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox, so it should show. Or, if you're pulling my leg, you got me. Way to keep the thread System Wars worthy, I forgot my obligatory "Xbox rules, everyone else drools" bit, but there ya go.

@lamprey263: I was being silly, I can see the list.?

Some pretty damn awesome deals... just picked up Wolfenstein 2 Deluxe Edition for half the price (previously had it on disc, so returned that).

Also tempted to pick up Dishonored 2 to play again (also had on disc but traded it), and also F1 2017. Fable Anniversary too!

waited to buy AC Origins. Got it cheaper. Thanks MS

But I received a bday gift today: Nintendo Switch FINALLY!!! Playing Mario Odyssey and damn it all to hell!! Its winning me over

Yeah I'm very close to getting a Switch too... Mario is really appealing to me (even more than Zelda).

If you are a Mario fan Odyssey is pretty solid for the most part.

I wouldn't say I'm a massive Mario fan (or Nintendo in general really, the last console I owned was Gamecube), but what I've seen of Odyssey is really impressing me.

Copped all the wolfenstein games! Great deals

Is Halo2 good even though it flopped?

Halo 2 was meh.

bummer..

WTF super cow? How did Halo 2 flop? Even according to the SW survival guide MCC is not a flop today. But you said Halo 2 which as usual shit on those Japanime FPS games. Thank you Microsoft and God bless my home country, the United States.

Opps meant Halo WARS 2 and it got 6.0

@Heil68: 9.4

What are you 12? Halo 2 has been out for years

Some reasonable discounts there, quite surprised really.

I meant Halo Wars 2 Flopperz....

Halo 2 was great in coop mode on the OG...

Beat me to it lol.

Need for Speed for $48 after one week of being released ain't bad.

kind figured bro, but I had to tease a lil

I want to get many, but I'm afraid they will go to my permanant backlog.

Lol, was gonna say you seriously think Halo 2 flopped???!!!

And I don't think Halo Wars 2 "flopped" either btw... currently nearly 80 on MC. Hardly bad.

Will pick up FF 15 and maybe AC Origins

True but its voted on hype here was 8/10 and it got a 6/10 from a weaboo lady reviewer. I called the score from Gamespot dead on because this site is Sony/Nintendo-centric. Anything made by them gets the benefit of the doubt whereas MS comes in about a point or two below the meta average often.

Halo 2 was 13 years ago!

HaloForzaGears

Some really good deals there. May pick a few of those up myself.

Got Assassin Creed O and Dishonored 2 Outsider. Thats enough spending for me.

Just an FYI majornelson.com posted on his site that Forza 7 and Super Lucky are going on sale Nov 23-27. Forza 7 will be 39.99 so if you waited to play on X1X like me good time to pick it up.

I picked up Castlevania SOTN for $5, Fable Anniversary for $10, and Agents of Mayhem Deluxe for $25 yesterday (games a lot more fun than I thought it would be would have been a huge hit if it was co-op).

Also, yes if you like RTS games Halo Wars 2 is great especially with all the added DLC and the enhanced graphics, especially for a console game. only thing it needs is for the Flood to be a playable faction. HW2 and Dungeons 3 are the two most fun RTS games I've played in a while.

@oflow: do you recommend the first halo wars?

Picked up the Wolfenstein double pack for £10, want to play through these before Wolfenstein II

Really tempted by Fable Anniversary as well

Got WF2, Wildlands and several other games, I'm set for the rest of the year, backlog is just insane right now....played a lot of Evil Within 2 over the weekend on the X, what a game this is, a very competent alternative to Silent Hill, and looks amazing on the X I've never played a Silent Hill game that looked this good before.

@Alucard_Prime: Started playing EW2 today, not very happy with it. I'll give it a couple of days more. But it does look great on the X, after removing the film grain.

Been thinking on getting Wildlands, now might be the right time.

It's not that the sale is bad but the one game I wanted which was Injustice 2 wasn't on sale but over the selection of games is pretty decent.

Some of these deals match Wal-Mart's which is pretty good imo.

I guess if you don't mind digital some of these are rather appealing.

Payed $30 for AC Origins thanks to my monthly earned MS bonus and this sale. Thank you Microsoft and God bless the United States

I hate that silly percentage nonsense. Just show the damn price!

Yeah its the reason they made a second one. But overall its like comparing SC1 to SC2. The newer one is a big enough upgrade that you will spend more time playing HW2. But if you are a Halo fan and like the lore, its worth adding to your collection. If you are gonna get it buy the definitive edition.

If you check your Xbox, I believe the prices are already live.

@phbz: I'm a fan of the first EW(and the genre in general) and the 2nd seems to be hitting all the right notes for me, I will say though I am enjoying it more now after like several hours and upgrading my stats, I feel I have more freedom in the gameplay because I don't really like the heavy stealth sections, but now its a little better for me.

Wildlands I got strictly for the coop features, heard the coop is really fun in this game otherwise I already have enough shooters to be honest.

Thanks for the input!

i spent so much, but this is the first time I really did all my black friday shopping "digitally"

usually buy the games at BB or something, but my backlog just got a lot bigger.

They might have some more regular weekly deals tonight.

@narlymech: Yeah I noticed they are dropping additional titles onto the list daily and then they disappear.

They also frequently make 'pricing errors' in the store with these sales so its good to scan it daily. you can often find $59.99 games for under $10 like this lol, but the errors usually only stay posted for under an hour.

Honestly, this is a much better list of deals than Playstation's. Job well done, Microsoft.

I be getting The Elder Scroll morrowind online

both Microsoft and Sony are having good black Friday sales

I don't get it. If the Xbox has 0 games how is it possible to have games discounted?

Digital discounts my favorite.

I don't know what to get.

Went ahead and got Thief and Prey and might get Just Cause 3. Decided against any of the COD games on sale. Got better MP shooters allready.

Should I get COD BO3, IW, MWR, or none?? I mean really?
