RELEASE DATE; June 2nd 2009!

[Earth Mama]

I personally don't want to spend my summer playing the Sims. I want to go out as much as possible, maybe get a boyfriend and be more social. And also I must do some project fo college. {unsure}

It will come in the perfectly wrong time. {blink}

1. Most fans will be so P.O.ed that they might not even buy the game
2.If they release it now they get their money faster, and THEN more people will buy in the Summer, along with the fan base they would have lost (oh wait, DID lose)

I think that they chose summer because they thought more people would buy it... during summer kids have more time for video games. But the TRUE Sims fans have time for Sims year-round.

Yes, but they would buy them in the summer, and  they would already have money for the fan base

AKA: Lots of money fast

But now it is: Way less money in 4 months

Im sure a lot of people arent going to buy this anymore

More kids might want to purchase a game in the summer holidays but, there's no stopping them doing that even if it was released in Feb, right? The kids who just want a game to play during Summer, they can buy Sims 3 and off they go. And us hardcore players can just go get it in Feb. I don't see how it would really had made a difference, but I suppose they know what they're doing... or think they do, anyhoo.

This is gonna be a looong 4 months guys. We can do it though.

Yes what you had mentioned Cassie does make sense.

I think in EA's minds, with a game like Sims 3, most of which its target audience are teens, figure they make more of a profit in the summer, because everyone out of school.

When its hot outside, you can stay cool and play the Sims 3, but they just made a foul mistake by not giving us the info on the delay back in early January.

False advertisments does leave a bad taste in your mouth  {blink}

It will be winter here in Australia, so it is obviously also an American target as well.
As it doesn't get really cold where I live, it would be better if it came out in summer here. We spend our winters outside in the sun, keeping warm. I better buy a heater.

LOL!
I woukdnt do it in June tohugh, maybe May?

[CountryGal4132]

ya, plus June 2nd is bad for me because I will be on a retreat from May 30th to June 6th so I won't be playing it until the 6th at the earliest and that means I will have to trust that my parents remember to pick it up before the store sells my pre-ordered copy to somebody else.  Ugh, I'm sad that I won't be playing on release day and I won't get to be here either

On February 20th, I'm going to wear all black. =|

For real, like all the blogs were the same.  Like the first whatever on CAS, two on items, like two on the neighborhood and the members, and like only one on building.

we never get anything new...especially not since the people at the camp told us a lot already. EA has nearly nothing left to tell us unless they put something new in it

Seriously... it's always the same "FISHING! SEAMLESS NEIGHBORHOOD! SLIDERS! TRAITS!" bull.
And those blogs, they suck. What was up with the one about rocks and fishing or whatever? O__o

You people misunderstood; my point was it doesn't matter what time of year they release it, they'll still make a ton of money
