Summary from the article:
> It seems as though Xbox is getting a much-needed, consumer-friendly update that brings the Xbox Store in the U.S. more in line with other digital storefronts.
> This is already a requirement in parts of the EU thanks to the EU Omnibus Directive, which requires retailers to display discounts relative to the lowest price offered during the previous 30 days, and is something Xbox already does in some EU regions. The goal is to discourage stores from inflating prices before putting items on sale and claiming larger discounts than consumers are actually receiving.
> Other storefronts already offer similar functionality. Steam has displayed lowest-price information in certain regions for some time, with Valve expanding support to additional markets, while PlayStation also shows lowest-price indicators in select regions. From what I can tell, that includes the U.S. as well.
