A good thing about preordering or buying it from one place may give you the chance to unlock special bonus offers from the retailers. But is this really a good thing? Personally, I don’t see a reason to jump on this as I always end up waiting until the expansion comes out. Usually a week after it comes out, some retailer has the expansion for $19.99. That is when I snatch one up! I love saving money! Not to mention people always end up finding them unlockable through other means and ends up distributing them on the net.

However, in case you are interested, here are some choices from various retailers:

EA Store – Pre-order The Sims™ 2 FreeTime Expansion Pack* and receive an exclusive downloadable Prima Ballerina Poster as a special bonus!

.

.

Gamestop/EB Games – Pre-order The Sims 2 FreeTime Expansion Pack and receive this Gamestop exclusive downloadable Get Fit Kit as a special bonus! Offer good while supplies last. See store for details.
