Microsoft is contributing to Black Friday fun with new price drops on Live Marketplace goodies. The deals that appeal to me are savings on Rez HD and Metallica's “Death Magnetic” album for Guitar Hero.

If you haven't picked up Rez HD yet, you can grab it for just 500 Microsoft Points, whatever that works out to in your currency of choice. "Death Magnetic" is just 1000 MSP. Six additional XBLA games also get a holiday drop, with paid downloadable content for Crackdown, Lips and more. You can even grab a few themes on the cheap.

For the full list, read on.
