November 25th, 2008 by Jeff Scott
Lots of great games and apps on sale in the app store — apparently black Friday sales come to the iTunes App Store.
It looks like app developers have decided to participate in Black Friday sales and have started early. There are a bunch of really great games and apps on sale in the iTunes App Store right now with more being added every time we check out our price drops page. We’ll keep the list of the top tier apps here and send out a message on our Twitter stream when we update this page.
