Does anyone know if microsoft does a good job during the black friday sale? I have a few games that I'm hoping to be discounted, but I wondering if it's shabby like the recent deals or if they go all out.

One new thing to look into this year is what the Microsoft store does for black Friday/cyber Monday.
Killer Punks...all that needs to be said.
