Xbox is pumping out the discord deals again, but perhaps this week we can see a light shining through the dark tunnel of “Deals of the Week”. With the Pipper growing impatient about the weekly deals, it is safe to acknowledge that others have simply given up on Xbox to provide deals to satisfy their gaming thirst. What’s driving the Poid Pipper crazy this week?
