The Sims 3 is a strategic life simulation video game in the popular and critically acclaimed The Sims franchise, originally created by Maxis. Within the series' chronology, it is a prequel to both The Sims and The Sims 2, as well as spin-offs such as The Sims: Bustin' Out. A collector's edition will also be available, which comes with a free sports car download, a sticker sheet, and a 2GB Plumbob-shaped USB drive. In contrast to the previous versions, the houses and neighborhoods will be seamless, allowing players to explore and interact with their neighborhood without loading time.

So yeah, t will legally be released on June 2nd or:

2 June 2009 00:00:00 EST

Contain chatter within.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
Also, I have it right now so if you have any questions fire away

Ye its a bit wonky compared to 2 but I think I'll eventually get the hang of it.
I miss all my items from 2, especially since I had all EPs.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
And every one was legally paid for.
Not to mention I had a load of custom shit.

Last I checked, only girls play the Sims.

I've got money saying that EA will do $20 add-on packs again...

I actually think I'm gonna get it.

I've got a $50 gift certificate to GameStop and besides FNR4, no games are coming out until September that I want and I think it expires in July.

Apparently the leaked version was only a demo, or a demo version, with half the stuff missing (neighbourhoods, items), I still love it though.

Actually, it's only shipping with one neighborhood. The second one is download only, probably to discourage piracy.

Well that's fuckin' gay.

EDIT: Actually no it's not my brother's gonna buy it himself anyway ^^

Lol, any one else's launcher say they have an incomplete illegal copy?

And then it starts the game anyway? xD

You are playing a non-final, unauthorized copy of The Sims 3.

Purchasing and registering an official copy of The Sims 3 will entitle you to benefits including access to an entirely new game town called Riverview, 1000 SimPoints which can be redeemed for game objects in The Sims 3 Store, and access to The Sims 3 Exchange.

I never read the second paragraph before, lulz.

TBH, I couldn't imagine having bought all the Sims 2 crap only to have Sims 3 come out.

So playing Oblivion for 4 hours outfitting your single player house with new decorations is more masculine?

the one released wasn't incomplete, EA is just saying that to cover their asses and make it look like it

I've had it and had no issues and the game seems perfectly full xD

Hah, good point. Another neighbourhood isn't really that much of the game tbh. Does anyone actually read/care about the back story?

This game is actually hilariously fun.

I had a King Henry VIII Moment, I had 6 children all girls ( I like to continue my families with male children)

And I made a Billy Mays in memorium, I'm going to try to produce as many Mays offspring as possible.

seriously, how can a game that has no story line be a prequel to a game that has no story line? X
