Yes, this is what I meant.

If you look at that link, the "picture" says win/mac, but if you read the specs, it says NOT compatible for mac.
I understand they're probably wrong, but it doesn't make me want to preorder it

There's nothing to worry about. You can pre-order with confidence and for some bizarre reason we're all wrong, just return it.

I emailed Future Shop and got this response:

Our records indicate that the The Sims 3 (PC) is not compatible with Mac. If the picture of an item and the specifications are conflicting, the specifications are correct.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to respond via email, or you may contact our 24 hour Customer Support line at 1-800-663-2275 and one of our support staff will be more than happy to assist you.

I think they might be wrong though? I emailed EA and asked. I'll see what they say.
