There are just under two weeks left until Black Friday, which has evolved into a whole week (or often more) of shopping. Although the discounts on these longer sales are usually not as good as they once were, there are still plenty of bargains to be had, especially on video games.
Most platform owners have annual sales around Black Friday (here is Nintendo's and Sony's), and they tend to be spectacular. Microsoft has now launched its own sale for PC and Xbox, with discounts on both hardware and software.
Since we are kind and friendly (according to our selves, at least!) people here at Gamereactor, we have picked out twelve great discounts from the Xbox Store that you should check out, in a variety of genres, from classics to brand new titles, often in deluxe editions with lots of DLC, where we have tried to avoid those included with Game Pass. This time, we've also combined them with five retro finds you won't want to miss.
