Hmm, looks like of hella lame. :P
And Ubi/SP-Studios had done it again:
Game is unavailable for purchase from Israel.
People from Iraq, Egypt, Gaza Strip and what not can pre-order, so can (well, at least they're not blocked from Ubi's end) people from North Korea, but I can't.

That seems to be a common issue for you, Tpek. :(
Do you have some distributor(s) with exclusivity deals over there? Or is Ubi just being dicks again?

Dicks, plain and simple :(
And to think I'm one of the only few people in the world who doesn't hate them for UPlay (just check out the Steam forum for their games).

Oh.. I dislike them because of their lame & screwy UPlay client. But they're also a French Canadian owned company, last I checked, so nobody here blames me for hatin'. :))
Sometimes I wonder if these companies' leadership just do it out of their misbegotten & naive politics. Dunno.
Thought Ubisoft was originally from France itself.

Isn't that where French-Canadians think they're from, anyway? :))
Seems bugging and emailing both Steam/Valve and Ubisoft about it might have resolved the issue.
Steam now (at least) lets me pre-order the game.
Funnily enough, I don't tend to pre-order games so many months in advance :P
Good to hear that got resolved.
