90 bucks for Sim3 Ultimate too much?

Looks like EA finally broke down and decided to release Sims 3 thru Steam. Although... looks expensive to me at 90 bucks.

What the hell! Just a few days ago I said I would have liked to see the Sims on Steam (that's cool I guess) but at 90 bucks? Hell no. I wonder if EA will drop everything down in price come the next sale. Mass Effect 2 was out around this time last year, wasn't it going for 10 bucks during the Christmas sale?

Just wait for a sale.

You dont have to pay for all of them at once..There seperate prices..You can get the base games at first than add the expansions..You guys go nuts before checking..Look the base game is 40 bucks not to shaby..Since i paid i think 50 for the original..The expansions are 30 bucks..An the stuff packs are 20..

if you are the type that loves sims expansions, its a steal. Normal price is 180....and people say MMOs cost a lot? Heh, The Sims is in a whole 'nother league of investment

Considering how much the Sims 3 and all the expansions go for separately, it's actually quite a steal. At least I think it is, anyway. It makes me glad that I haven't bought any of the expansions yet.

Just wait for a sale.

That's cheap considering EA likes to sell Sims expansions like they're full games.

Understand completely those other games with expansions..Some are over 10 years old..If you look at dao an other type games with expansions and dlc..Its equivlant to the sims packs..Dao is 70 bucks thats not for any expansions at all..40k 2 with expansions is about 140 all games..So ya i think i understand completely..Thats a steal what every one else said..90 bucks for 3 type games base an expansions..

Qu: If I add the SIMS 3 to Steam can I get an EXP through steam and play the game through Steam or do I need to buy the original game through Steam?

"Requires the base game The Sims™ 3 on Steam in order to play."

It says that you need the Steam version of Sim3 to use the expansions....

I think, I'm just going to wait for another sale. I got tons of Steam games already that I have bought and have yet to play...

I think if you really enjoy it, sure, its worth the price. That is a whole bunch of content, and frankly theyre offering it at a technically-awesome discount (like half off, right?)

but imo the game is old, and the expansions were cranked out so fast and likely did not require much effort (a bunch of interns problably did half the work for 7 bucks an hour lol), and given the fact we saw better deals for better game packs not more than a month ago during the Steam Holiday Sale, I dont think it is worth it.
