Availability of certain XBox 360 games

Nyafaris · Aug 1, 2019

The games in question are Akai Katana, Dodonpachi resurrection and Deathsmiles.

I have been trying to buy them on XBox 360 and the marketplace via my computer, but can't get the orders to be processed properly.

Do these games happen to not be available in Austria (Europe) for some reason?

They show up fine when searched for.

Already tried deleting the system and console caches to no avail. Connection to XBL-services were good too.

My payment method is confirmed working, since I was able to buy a different game just before those three.

Tried creating a new profile on my console and can't get it to sign into XBL at all :eek:

It also received different generic names on xbox 360 and xbox.com.

Anyway I'm thinking of closing this thread, since the initial question of availability has been answered a while ago.

Thanks for your help. Will wait until my console is able to access XBL properly again.

Hi.

Has the sign in issue been resolved? I'm getting mixed signals lol

This is confusing.

Sorry to bother all of you this much.

Hi there.

There appears to be a service outage, that Xbox Support are aware of and working on at the moment,

according to this tweet, posted a short time ago. Although seemingly identified as a sign in issue, it may affect services in general.

Looking at the codes you posted, they also point towards service outages:

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/error-code-lookup?code=80072741

My best advice would be to try again a bit later, and see if this improves the situation. Feel free to post any updates.

Hope this helps!

Hi XBF Eladio M

On the console I'm being told to try clearing the caches and am given error code 80153003

(sometimes 80072741 but I'm pretty sure it's related to mashing the purchase prompt too fast).

On the marketplace website it basically tells me to try again in German. Sadly no error codes or anything.

Also just tried to purchase Akai Katana on a different browser to no avail.

I actually thought of re-adding my credit card already and also tried my pay-pal account.

The only thing I remember reading on one of the support FAQs I have not yet tried, is to delete the profile from my console and redownload it. But I have my doubts on the success of this, since it feels like there is something wrong with my XBL-account as
a whole.

I did have problems subscribing to XBL-Gold in the past too, it usually worked out soon enough though.

Hi Nyafaris,

Thanks for the reply! At this time, the
Xbox Live Service Status from yesterday has cleared up, so you can go ahead and give it another try. However, do bear in mind that you must have a valid card on file to make purchases on the 360 Marketplace and to have your billing address and profile address
match up for best results. Additionally, as our Ambassador stated, its also possible that some games are not available in your region.

In case you run into any further errors, I recommend the following support article which can help you troubleshoot:

Troubleshoot Xbox 360 Marketplace purchasing.

Give this a try and let us know the results.

I hope this helps you a bit more!
