Reading a few threads over on the official Sims 3 forums. One in particular of the fact that EA and Gamestop are taking pre-orders for the first Sims 3 expansion for $40. Insane, as the base game itself is only $10 more. Many fans believe the reason it’s priced so high is the fact that EA is “giving” us $10 worth of free Simpoints. Free, my butt. I don’t understand why Sims 1 and Sims 2 expansions were $30 ($20 for the stuff pack) and now they’re planning on charging $40. Stay out of my wallet, EA! It’s crazy, because normally PC games are generally $30 with the huge games hitting $50. It’s an expansion, no way should it cost that much – plus tax – and you still need a base game.
Eh…I shouldn’t worry. If it is $40, I’ll just order from an online site and use a promo/coupon code to knock the price down to normal or just wait until Target sells it for $10 less (which they will probably do during the first or second week).
meeehhhhhh! 40$ is going to kill me…i’m totally waiting for sales……
40$ is about 27€ … that was the price for Sims 2 EPs when they were released here in Slovenia … so dunno, nothing shocking here for me :/
I’m getting it anyway…
well that sucks… oh well
It sucks but still getting it 🙂
GAME UK have “The Sims 3 Add-On Pack” listed as £40, when sim expansion packs are usually £20.
Well, it’s not a matter for me. Perhaps u’ll know why :/
