    Why can't I preorder some games on the xbox live store.


    So I was looking to purchase Assassin's Creed Syndicate which is releasing on October 23,2015. What determines when a game is available for preorder and is there a way to find if it is at least in process because I can find Star Wars Battlefront at least.

    :)

    Madden 16 Digital Preorder?

    I asked EA Sports on their facebook about why Madden 16 isn't available for Preorder on the xbox live store, but Fifa 16 is available for preorder. They told me to contact xbox live for info on preordering. When is going to be on the dashboard to preorder
    digitally?

    Why can't I preorder some games on the xbox live store.

    It all depends tbh,some go up early and some nearer release date,its upto the publisher as to when/if a game is made available,so there's no definitive answer,sorry.you could always tweet them,or post on the official ubi forum and ask,maybe you could get
    a date there

    Unfortunately Microsoft only allows you to pre-order games that have some kind of pre-loading.

    Games that aren't in manufacture or close to that point aren't open to pre-orders because the Xbox has nothing to download.

    Either it is a fault in the system that Microsoft can't process a pre-order without something being downloaded or they did it on purpose to stop some getting confused why they didn't get anything for their pre-order.

    Websites in Canada that deliver ON RELEASE DAY?

    Some people can't make it to a store (remote areas etc) .... but in general, if you can make it to a store, you'll be able to buy withotu preordering. infact if you dont preorder you can go to any store to get it and avoid lineups. its only EB/gamestop that
    occasionally run out of stock (intentionally) .....you never see a game sell out at other stores on launch day.

    Will MS add Pre-orders for Digital

    Are you asking this because of the add-ons and exclusive that preorders come with? If so, you can't preorder a digital game but you can get all the free add-ons in the Xbox Store the day the game is released. The only exclusive you can't get for free are
    the ones that retail store may have solely for those who purchase from them.
