Xbox Black Friday 2022 sale now live, with almost 1,000 discounts

It's actually not a bad idea now that sales lists are getting to be so huge (and also repetitive). How about adding an option to the price tracking, so that in addition to any price drop and a set amount, you have a block option? Behind the scenes you could add code that says 'display sale if price is >$5000' or something like that.

Canezza said:I'd love the opposite. Like sort of a saveable blacklist. It would be easier to expand that list with a "not interested in this..." button.
But sure, the sales page already is a big help.

Same sale under a different name, as per.

Didn't even have to look to know that the BioShock Collection will be reduced to £7.99 - because it always is.

Halcyien said:These huge sales rarely have the best prices. These sales are about the quantity of games that are on sale not the quality of the sale it seems. I don't think I have ever bought a game from these special sales.

Hmm...

Yakuza Collection (even though I still haven't finished Zero).
Fallout 4 GOTY PC if my computer runs it okay. Will test via Game Pass.
Maybe Outer Worlds DLC since that's presumably never leaving Game Pass.

Just got a notification Twin Mirror is on sale, a DontNod game I didn't even know existed until recently. Can't complain with the £4.99 price tag so will be picking that up at least.

Cyber Heist

I was waiting for a discount on AI: Somnium Files and it's sequel 😔.

Pathetic sales.

Extremely disappointed by this years Black Friday sales. I am genuinely convinced they change the prices on certain items and then slash them to the original price to make people (who haven’t already seen the sales over the course of time) think that they are getting a bargain. A marketing ploy, good for the greedy fat cats making the prices but not good on the pockets of those who pump a lot of money into digital games.

I am also disappointed. I love a good sale and snagged quite a few good deals in the last couple of months, but I expected so much more from the big Black Friday Sale. To my surprise, I haven't found anything worth putting down money for. Wait for the Christmas Sale, I guess?

Black Friday sales for digital games just tend to be more quantity than quality. They aren't doing anything shady.

I noticed in the last year, that after bf, around christmas everything so cheap. I think mostly because they know people spend their money for present and games.
But reals deals between christmas and new years eve.

I wish Duck Tales, Castle of Illusion, a bunch of Hidden Object Games, and some retro collections were on sale.
Or if some thing like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 and 2 had a more sensible price.

Nothing much is making me go "oh that is a good game at a good price! " Yet, that I do not already own.

I think it is time Far Cry 6 had a big discount digitally I've seen it for like £5 on disc for months now second hand.

Anyone seen the game in a Disc version on sale anywhere ? (UK) So the £100 GOTY edition is somewhere between delusion and humour for me. It also seems quite likely it will be on Game Pass at some point too.

I suppose the Avengers game is a decent price to those that thought it had some appeal at 80% off.

Otherwise the only "Maybes" for me are : Ary and the Secret of Seasons & Cris Tales

Hold up. They put Vanguard, MW and Cold war on sale? Outside of the fact warzone is connecting them why didn't they bother putting a sale on older cod titles?

I just noticed the Microsoft Store on console finally has a price filter!! It is pretty bad at the moment... (most of the time I filter under $5 it gives me different games ) but at least there finally working on it!

regret said:I got the same deal. Has been sitting on my shelf ever since. Still waiting for more updates before I dive in. Gaming doesn't have to be expensive!
