Hi DT,

Amazon listed it for XBox One and Windows 10.  It also does not show
up on my XBox to download.  I have never seen a more confusing
interface than the XBox 1.  I hate it!

That could be the problem.  Oh well.  I would have bought the XBox
DVD, which probably would just contain a code to download the game.

I am going to right it off as a lesson learned.

Thanks!
