I expect £55 xbox one games to be reduced to store shelf prices of £39.99 and to be called a huge saving by xbox.

Looks like an exact repeat of the black friday sale. I hope Elite Dangerous gets a discount soon.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Hoping for a Battlefield 4 Premium deal.
Knew there had to be a simpler way of doing it short of using a proxy.. Thanks

Velocity 2x please
"Biggest" being the keyword... They promised over 200 games alone and it looks like they're counting movies/TV too for the "biggest" part, I don't think there's been another Xbox sale with more games than that. There was 150 games for Black Friday and that was a lot more than usual too.

Lol speak for yourself.
You should know already that MS PR are absolute gods at the number game.
Not in the shops where I live. Quite the opposite.

They'll be $40 each, count on it.

...lacks reading comprehension.
Did you even read the OP?

Hopefully, the only two I need for the additional 60,000 in Rewards Credit from Xbox Live Rewards. I assume they count toward it even if discounted. Wonder what else will be discounted... Newegg currently has $60 Xbox Gift Cards for $53. Decisions, decisions.
Yeah...up to 40-60% with some games being greater than 60% off
Such useful information!
Yeah. I wouldn't mind playing elite but I'd like to get it for under $20

I remember some pretty good deals this time last year, notably Sunset overdrive was 50% off on Christmas day (from my memory at least!)

That was an awesome deal, first game I bought for my Xbox One.

Yeah, it was $10 during Black Friday and The Game Awards. Doubt it will go lower then that.
They say all xbox fans but do they still mean only those living in few specific countries? Xbox Live Rewards are certainly not available in most countries and I really doubt they are suddenly going to roll that scheme worldwide in few days.
Movies obviously won't be available because they don't refer to movies when talking to "all xbox fans" but that rewards mention is directly tied to "all xbox fans". Pretty sure it's just a mistake from their part and it's really annoying. Don't refer to everyone when you specifically filter out most countries.

Since I didn't get GTA V last time I'd like to see that. I also hope that Sunset Overdrive get's a nice mark down. That is one game I really want digitally. I also wouldn't mind seeing some bargains on launch games, like Dead Rising 3 and Ryse. I also didn't get Borderlands: Handsome Collection over Black Friday and have been regretting it so if that's there I'll have to get that too.
My poor backlog.

Good choice, it's one of my favorites games this gen.

Are you in a country where digital is cheaper than physical?

If you make use of the Xbox One not being region locked, you can buy from another countries digital store. I live in the UK, but buy all my games from either the HK or US stores, all cheaper than their physical versions.

Yeah i know i do the same, but these dudes are rubbishing my comment as though where they are digital isnt more expensive than physical.

I think it's time I figure out how to buy from other countries because no doubt $30 will equal £30 as usual.

If Syndicate and Rise of the Tomb Raider are on sale I will dive into that.

In Canada our digital prices are far from "double" the price of physical. And with the way our dollar is, buying games during digital sales is our best bet outside of our E3 sales.
Well, they're not twice as much, not nearly, which is what you stated.

This, though specifically for season 1 ultra. I got season 2 ultra for $20 during the last sale.
As others pointed out, it was just $10 for BF. I bought it at that price, knowing nothing about it at all, and am about halfway through it now.
I can honestly say that it's worth paying full price ($20) for, so if there's any discount at all, you own an X1, and you like Metroidvania-style games EVEN A LITTLE, and you somehow didn't grab it yet, buy it.
Looking forward to the other sale prices =)
That was also just $10 during BF =\

"...and some deals even more than 60 percent". WTF does that even mean?
