Does anyone plan on taking advantage of the crazy deals? Let us know which games you’re considering picking up in the comments below. Recent domain name registries suggest the Next Xbox announcement could be happening sometime within the next couple months, with many believing April will be when Microsoft decides to show their next-gen hand.
