Not a bad time for gifting. Spend responsibly and remember your backlog still exists.
Hoping Diablo IV hits 50% off but not expecting it to happen.
It has all of the discounts in the article (on Xbox Wire). Diablo 4 is 40% off.
I probably won’t buy much if anything. My backlog is already overflowing and then some.
Oh wow. Completely missed that. It said come back Friday to see exactly what’s on sale. Will probably wait for it to go on Game Pass in that case. Thanks for the info.
