“We’ll be counting down to the new year and continuing great deals through Jan. 9,” states Major Nelson, Xbox PR guru. “The sale offers 19 days of deals on hundreds of games, movies & TV shows, music and apps, including daily and weekly offers.”
To get the most out of the Countdown Sale you’ll need to check in each day for the daily deals.
