The year’s big holiday sales begin tomorrow, with both Microsoft and Sony kicking things off with a week of digital deals.
Can you believe it’s already the holiday season of 2010? Once I finished lamenting how fast time flies when we’re you’re not paying attention, I also remembered that this means some amazing holiday sales have arrived as well. Starting tomorrow, Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network are starting digital sales initiatives that will hold some sweet deals on a variety of games.
Both sales will run from November 23-29. Sony is offering 15 PlayStation Network titles out of the PlayStation 3, PSP, and PSP Minis libraries that are each good for every day of the sale until it’s over. Notable inclusions are Joe Danger, Hello Games’ well received stunt/racing game, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the franchise’s latest PSP entry, and Dissidia: Final Fantasy, a giant RPG brawl.
