Earlier in the week we talked about the odd EA PlayStation flash sale that happened over the weekend, and it looks Microsoft are trying to offer the same thing. Little to no word has been mentioned about this to the public, but despite this Microsoft have gone ahead with pushing out a flash sale, and although not many details have been given on when the sale will end, there are certainly many deals to pick up.
Some of the biggest deals include Battlefield 4, which has been reduced to just $29.99 instead of $59.99, and Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag, which has also been reduced to $29.99 for a short time.
These two titles aren't the only AAA games to receive a discount either; Call of Duty Ghosts has been knocked down to $24.99 for the sale period, and FIFA 14 has had $20 knocked off of it's price, bringing it down to $39.99.
Below, a full list of all discounted titles has been provided.
- Angry Birds Star Was - $29.99
- Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag -

Last week it was revealed that the Xbox One Titanfall bundle will be getting a 30 Euros discount in the UK, bringing the price of the next gen console slightly closer to the PlayStation 4's price. However, at the time, it was clear that the PlayStation 4 was still a better deal, and despite the price drop from 430 to 399 Euros, the Xbox One Titanfall bundle still wasn't cheap enough to sway any PlayStation gamers to the Microsoft side of the fence.
This week, GameStop has decided to bump it up a notch by reducing the Xbox One's price as well, bringing the console price even lower than the original price cut. The console bundle has now been reduced another 30 Euros, making the console price 369 Euros.
This bundle also comes packed with a digital copy of Titanfall, a standard controller, the Kinect sensor, and of course the console as well. The Titanfall standard SKU will also come with a headset for talking on Xbox LIVE, and a 1 month free trial of Xbox LIVE Gold.

Microsoft is pretty well known for slandering it's competition, and recently they've really tried hard to make their competitors look like insignificant wastes of time, despite being a fair way behind their competitors in the industries they are working in.
In the gaming industry, I have a feeling we can expect a lot of PlayStation slandering campaigns to go ahead over the next few years, but that's okay, because Sony usually has a witty thing or two to say back.
The most recent of these campaigns offers those who want an Xbox One a path easier on their wallets. To be precise, Microsoft has offered to take your PlayStation 3 off of your hands, in return for a $100 discount card on a brand spanking new Xbox One.
Microsoft may have admitted that the Xbox One is priced higher than the PS4, and this looks like their first measure to try and make their price a little closer to the

Titanfall has so far been predicted to be the game that will slay the FPS giants, and has shown a lot of very interesting gameplay elements that really could make it a unique first person shooter experience.
Unfortunately, it may not be the game for everyone. Some news has recently come in about the multiplayer details on Titanfall, and one bit of information in particular has caused a bit of distress for the average Battlefield or Call of Duty fan.
Respawn Entertainment's guy in charge, Vince Zampella has taken to twitter to announced that Titanfall will only be a 12 person game. Vince stated "6v6 is max player count. Turned out to be the best balance with AI for us."
Being a huge fan of the small team combat in most Halo game modes, this really didn't bother me much, but I can understand why a player who enjoys intense 32 to 64 player combat may be a little upset about this new discovery.
The only thing I can say to these people is that Titanfall is meant to

Dead Rising 3 is probably the first game in a long while that has helped Capcom get back onto their feet, and they definitely aren’t going to let any opportunities to cash in on the Dead Rising series go to waste.
Whether you're a fan of Capcom or not, there’s no denying that the whole DLC trend is becoming quite frustrating, but it is unfortunately a product of the modern day game industry that most of us have had to live with.
Capcom has recently revealed details on new upcoming DLC content for Dead Rising 3, and it actually sounds like something i'd be interested in getting. Capcom has confirmed that there will be four DLC packs available in the future for Dead Rising 3, and they will all be part of the Untold Stories of Los Perdidos DLC series.
Instead of just adding wacky new weapons or equipment, the game DLC will instead act as a story expansion that follows the life of Spec Ops Commander Adam Kane, as players take control

Just like with the PlayStation 4's North American launch, Microsoft's new Xbox One console has managed to sell a total of 1 million units within the first 24 hours of launch.
This is some pretty interesting news, and despite all of the criticism Microsoft have received, and the fact that the Xbox One is more expensive than the PlayStation 4, this shows that there is still a strong audience out there for the Xbox One.
Microsoft made a statement to state that the Xbox One is now sold out in most retailers, despite other reports stating otherwise, however, the 1 million sales are most likely true at this point.
To match the demand, Microsoft hope to mass produce more consoles before Christmas. Xbox's corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, Yusuf Mehdi, has an offered a statement saying, "We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season."
Like mentioned above, we've heard a few reports

Previous whisperings and rumors suggested that Take Two knew about a new Rockstar game that would continue a previously created franchise, and we speculated that it may be a new Bully game.
A new bit of information seems to hint that a new Bully game is coming, and this could mean we have a next gen Bully game in the works.
Although no announcements have been made, Take Two, the publisher backing Rockstar, have filed a new trademark with the name "Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit."
Although neither Take Two nor Rockstar have made comments on the trademark filing, it's pretty clear at this point that some kind of new Bully experience is coming, and when putting two pieces of the puzzle together, it makes sense that Bully Bullworth Academy will be a brand new game in the Bully franchise.
This trademark name has been filed for Europe, however a United States filing has not taken place due to there being similarities with another trademark name, Bully in
