Activision pulls Black Ops 3's digital pre-order from Xbox Store

It seems as though Activision has pulled Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 from the Xbox One Store. While some users are reporting that it's available for pre-load, gamers wishing to buy the title can't do so anymore digitally. I verified this myself and wasn't able to purchase the game because all the bundles aren't available anymore. Even Xbox Support said the content was pulled from the store.

Why does the link say it contains malware? It doesn't. I use the site all the time.

Happening to me, Chrome is being an old crone about N4G today :P

ashermadan3879d ago

Thank you. I was freaking out over nothing. Chrome has been acting weird for me too.

spoonard3878d ago

Guess they made the Digital version PS4 exclusive as well.

ashermadan3879d ago (Edited 3879d ago )

I think they released the Xbox One digital version early. I'm sure there's some marketing deal involved here. Remember, Sony blocked Diablo 3's Xbox One announcement for months and didn't let Activision open pre-orders until a week before launch. At least that's the rumor. I can't vouch for its validity.

"At least that's the rumor. I can't vouch for its validity." -- But you don't mind spreading the rumor?

rdgneoz33878d ago

I see how that works... And I hear there's a rumor that ashermadan works for MS. But that's just a rumor and I can't vouch for its validity...

OT: Hopefully it'll be back soon enough. And hilarious that this happened 4 to 6 days ago (for the xbox one store) depending on the edition, and it's now getting reported.

Christopher3878d ago

Umm... No. Actually, XBO paid to push the release on PS4 by more than 6 months so that they could port it to XBO and get it to 1080p to match the PS4 for a same-day release. None of what you said existed and is just made up crap. Both Sony and MS invested in Diablo 3, Sony for advertising and exclusive content that no one cared about and MS for getting it ported and released on the same day as the PS4.

KwietStorm_BLM3878d ago

What do you mean as well? What other version is exclusive?

Automatic793878d ago (Edited 3878d ago )

I think Xbox One sales are surpassing the PS4 Call of Duty sales, hence reason for Activision to do this. Overall, they are informing people to purchase at retailers which may cause more Call of Duty sales on Xbox One. Lol

neocores3878d ago

Even if it was true which it is not Digtal numbers cant be found in tell after the game is out.

DragonDDark3878d ago

Advanced warfare sold better on the ps4 sooooo

MasterCornholio3878d ago (Edited 3878d ago )

Are you talking about just the US or World Wide?

@Foehammer

Actually according your source Battlefield sold better on the PS4. Same goes for Advanced Warfare.

Lukejrl3878d ago

It is pretty obvious your wrong cause they cancelled season pass which is a digital purchase.

every link...MALWARE...MALWARE...i wonder if copying and pasting the link will work

DarkResistance3878d ago

didn't work i tried it. and it copied and pasted the clickout link. not the article link.

OC_MurphysLaw3879d ago

Well I wasn't going to buy the game anyway so no real loss for me. I wonder what Sony is putting up on their end for Marketing, etc... to get the exclusivity. COD used to fetch a pretty penny from MS.

thrust3879d ago

COD need the best online network :)

Paytaa3878d ago

The network doesn't matter. It's still P2P so it's a joke on either network.

1Victor3878d ago

That's why it's on — — —

MetroidFREAK213879d ago

Well I'm glad I digitally preordered it before this...

Actually for me , Black Ops 3 has one of the best Call of Duty campaigns I ever played. Not the original campaign. The Zombies campaign that unlocked after beating the original campaign. So much more fun running from zombies rather than the peek a boo hide behind a rock play style. .
