I checked with my EB Games.  They're getting the game in this Wednesday, March 1, 2006.

:-P

I reserved it at Gamestop tonight *couldn't resist*  They also said it would be available for me to pick up March 1st.

Well, that does it.  I definitely need to check with EB to see exactly when they are getting it in.

Woohoo!  EB said they'll have it in on Wednesday, and I pre-paid so if by chance they get it in earlier (they got it a day early for NL), I could be playing it as soon as tomorrow night!

They had the guide already as well, but I'll be damned if I'll pay $26.95 for it, which is what they're charging.

BAH! Don't cave in to the family pack! It's just the latest scheme to sell you minimum product for the maximum amount of cash! Don't encourage them!

Why can I hear someone screaming about the SUITS AT EA right about now?

WTF, the MSRP for the guide is only $19.99. (Amazon seems to be a decent place to get that; it's just over 30% off.)

Sorry, but I'm not that impressed with what I've seen of the new family fun pack.

I've seen (and gotten) better looking furniture at the Well Dressed Sim and The Sims Resource for free.

What Maxis oughta do if they *REALLY* want to rake in the big bux is to run a TSR style downloads page with exclusive Maxis products...did I mention it would only be availabe for a monthly fee? Maybe have a rotation like TSR has so that other players can get certain objects for free, but they only offer one or two items that are part of a set, and if you want the rest you have to *subscribe* to their Downloads page.

Wonder how the Sheeple would react to that? I bet half would be howling bloody murder and threaten to boycott Maxis, and the other half would be kissing Maxis butt and signing up to be a monthly subscriber. What say you?

I think the 26.95 is the canadian price.

Proves nothing, given that you are a KEWIAN. I point out the COMPLETE LACK OF CORROBORATION by known, reliable sources.

Maybe that's why it takes so long before you get the EPs. Takes that long to find a source you trust to tell you that the game actually exists.
I'll let you know if the game exists when I pick up my copy on Thursday.  Gotta love Australian time zones... Grin

My big secret, don't tell everyone....SSHHH Big W has had every Sims EP a day early since I started playing.
 Now having said that, they probably won't and they'll make me look like a liar.

Maybe there is no expansion pack after OFB...

EA games is trying a different direction. No more EPs. They will instead dedicate their time to fixing the games already released.

Dear lord. That is great.

That needs to be the new site motto.


As for the mini-packs, that add no real content and just some crappy objects that are buggy... If only there were something like teh internets where you could find crap like that without paying. Sad

Well, if sales of those silly booster packs are good, they might really stop making EPS all together as booster packs are certainly easier to produce for maximum profit.

Is a peeing Santa a buggy santa? I mean, I thought its Maxis' warped sense of humour at work again.
 Tongue but whats this about santa watchin kids showering? Lips sealed
