14 DAY TRIAL // Seeing as how the Winter Holidays are rapidly approaching, Microsoft decided to unleash an array of discounts on its Xbox Live service, ranging from downloadable titles to new content or the addition of fresh ones through the Games on Demand service.
Xbox Live community manager Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb revealed all these discounts on his blog and mentioned that the deals would kick off on December 21 and last until December 31.
Special deals will be added each day, as will popular titles to the Games on Demand section, including Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2 or Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.
What's more, Microsoft has partnered with Lexus to start an all-night gaming marathon for Halo: Reach, which could net U.S. gamers special prizes, and 8 players will walk away with 4,000 Microsoft Points.
