Microsoft says this is its ‘biggest sale ever’

Insert a Marge Simpson ‘hmm’ here

Today Microsoft has launched its “biggest sale ever” – Countdown. 

The offers are good from now until December 28, 2015, and include savings on games, movies, apps, and TV shows.

As well as the offers below, there will also be a sparkly Daily Deal, too – keep an eye on Major Nelson’s Twitter for those – and Xbox Live Gold peoples get an additional 10 percent off. Woot. 

Here’s the full list. Discounts vary – considerably – depending upon the game and/or where you are in the world, so the approximate percentage saved may change once you’ve logged in and are seeing things in your own currency.
