If for some reason you missed out on the Xbox Store’s excellent Black Friday sale last week, worry not, for yet another has just kicked off. The difference this time however, is that instead of applying mass discounts in the name of the shopping holiday, Microsoft are dropping prices on all the titles that have been nominated for something in this year’s The Game Awards.
Need a refresher on who’s up for what? Here are the nominees:

I blew my load on Black Friday. If I buy anything else I might be heading for imminent divorce.

That’s a good price for BF1 if you don’t mind playing it on a DVD player 😛

Indeed I do.

I played on my cousin’s PS4 and afterward on my Xbone. Same game, Black OOOps 3, and I really can’t tell a difference, beyond the Xbone controller being waaaaay better. Overall gameplay was exactly the same, graphically I also couldn’t see a difference.

In the United States in the state of Virginia. Yes, I kept trying to think of a country that spoke English and had currency abbreviated with “R.” England? No. Australia? No. Canada? No. I ran across another such site this morning and immediately thought “South Africa!”
