I received my email stating that the account copy is completed, but I will not receive my code until the 8th of June. The day before the game launches.
My friend bought the game from the Xbox One store and was able to download the game that day. I have paid for the game, so I should receive my key allowing me to download and be ready on the 9th. Honestly this would not be so bad if I was able to download the game during the weekend, but the night before.
WTF? I am really confused. ZOS could you please explain what the limitations are?We will be sending your digital code for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on June 8th. We understand the desire to download the game on your console of choice earlier. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a code to pre-load due to console limitations.

Shouldn't people be complaining to Microsoft/Sony about this? If it's truly a "console limitation", then ZoS or any other third-party publisher has absolutely no control over it.
As for your reasoning, there was no code involved there, it was a straight up download. Apparently the limitation is on codes, in some way.

If it's not actually MS or Sony's fault, I'm pretty sure they would be none-to-happy to be the ones being unfairly blamed for it.0 -

I agree the problem is with Microsoft/Sony, but doesn't mean that ZOS is not able to explain why. I would love to contact Microsoft/Sony but how? Contacting via phone cost money, at least that's what I hear, and the forums are a joke for information.0 -

Players who preorder ESOTU through either the Xbox Marketplace or PlayStation Store will be able to pre-download the game prior to its June 9 release. Additionally, PC/Mac players who are eligible for and purchase the transfer to console will be able to pre-download. If you pre-ordered or purchase a copy of ESOTU for consoles from a retailer, you will not be able to pre-download. It's also worth noting that unlike the PC/Mac beta client, which was able to be updated on launch day to the live version, the beta client for consoles cannot be updated in this way; rather, players will require a fresh install / new client when the live version is available (either for pre-download or from a retail purchase). Hope this helps clarify!
