Why is the physical copy of battlefront 2 unavailable to purchase?

When i go tonpreorder SW Battlefront 2 on amazon it tells me its unavailable(pic attached) why is this, does anyone know? I am aware that other retailers are selling it but i have credit i can only use on amazon, any help is appreciated. Is the game simply out of stock as far as hard copys go, or is a physical copy even be made. Please answer

  • Amazon often doesn't give but digital preorders until they know that they have the physical games in stock. Probably has to do with them desiring to avoid overbooking. I'm pretty sure the game does get a physical release, it just doesn't seem to be available on Amazon right now.

    Hello @TrandoshanBossk

    I`ve just checked and it seems like it is available for order on Amazon. Can you check the game again and tell as what is your region?

    Cheers,

    >>In the US you can pre-order physical disc with GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart.com.

    Business writing 101 example right there.  Never tell the customer they **can't** do something, and always reverse a *can't* to a can.

    The question is.... why **can't** we preorder a PS4 physical copy from Amazon?  I do not have a Best Buy near me, and I refuse to do business with GameStop and Walmart.  If I cannot pre-order a physical copy from Amazon, then I guess I wont be getting this game.

    I assume it’s because Amazon offers 20% off of physical game preorders and for games that are less than two weeks old and EA doesn’t want to miss out on any money. So you either buy a code, or you buy a disc somewhere you have to pay full price.
  • if thats true well stuff like that encourages me to buy used as there are tons of other great games to chose from, still unavailable on amazon which is a bummer due to day of release shipping etc
