Thanks to the new Countdown Sale on the Xbox Store, two EA games are only $0.99, while another is only $1.99. Normally, to buy all three of these games, you would need to fork over $80, so this represents a substantial amount of savings. That said, all three of these deals are only available for another three days at the moment of writing this, December 30. In other words, you have to act quick if you want to take advantage of the offers.
