FIFA 15 discounted for Xbox One, 360

Xbox One version includes a special Holiday bonus

In a surprise announcement on Friday, Microsoft revealed a new discount for EA's FIFA 15 for both Xbox One and Xbox 360.

"Coming off a great year in 2014, fans of the FIFA series can take advantage of this special deal on FIFA 15," Microsoft's Major Nelson wrote in a post last week.

Typically, Microsoft saves its discounts for Tuesdays, but those typically apply for Xbox LIVE Gold members. FIFA 15's discount is valid for any Xbox owner now through January 19, 2015.

So if you're a fan of EA's long-standing soccer series, check out the latest iteration in FIFA 15, which is currently 50 percent off for either Xbox One or Xbox 360. For Xbox One, you'll actually get the Holiday Edition which includes 2200 FIFA Points to redeem FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Packs, a Leo Messi FUT Loan player for five games, and a bundle of EA Sports Football Club items.
