For those on the fence about SimCity, you can get it for $32.

Gamefly has the game for $20 off right now and the code "GFDAPR20" gives an additional $8 off.

inb4 hate.

Got it for $32 week after it came out :)

Wanted to try it first, was money well spent, ive had more fun on it then I did with the latest Tomb Raider or latest RE.

Yes, though how well is subject to opinion.  It works fine for me and I enjoy it, but there are others on here who act as though this game marks the rise of the antichrist or something.

I will never understand why people choose to give their money to companies that are basically abusing their consumer rights.

"abusing consumer rights"???

Please do enlighten us.

Especially for something as non-essential as a game.

Why would you play this instead of Tropico 4?

Not worth it, play SimCity 4 instead. Chris_53

Still way too much. I'll pay no less than $10 to try this game. 

I'm not trying to be a douche about it, but considering everything that has happened with Sim City and EA's continued insistence that the always online is not DRM (it totally is), makes me not want to give them much money. I do want to try the game. I hear it can be a lot of fun.

If you think EA abuses customers clearly you've never a homeowner who was a customer of a bank over the past decade. THAT's abuse. EA can be annoying, but do not ever think they are in the same league as other companies in this nation who do absue the crap out of their customers and don't care. Hell our government even gives them money after they force hundreds of thousands out of their house and lose all of their money. EA at least gave free games away. 

I've heard countless opinions about this game.. 

The thing is, the game itself is really good. It's a bit simplified from Sim City 4, but it is a great game. The problem is that it's ridiculously hindered by the fact that it's completely online and that online is not that reliable. 

I wouldn't even take it if they GAVE my $32 ALONG WITH IT!

Gonna wait when this game drops to $5 or less. Miroku32

that's 32$ too much

So this is the cool game to hate on these days, huh?

Sounds like recent patching has done a lot to improve things. I'm still in wait-and-see mode. This is the sort of game I might revisit a calendar year after it was released (or maybe over the holidays), when hopefully the majority of the bugs have been ironed out, and it'll be on a nice sale. Regardless, it's still a game that I certainly plan on playing.

$32 is a good deal for a recent release, but it's less about money for me and more about the functionality. Of course, the debacles around this release and Diabo III's were the nails in the coffin for never preordering a game from anyone again. I don't like to encourage that practice, "pre-order bonuses" be damned.

Not to mention that players have already created no-internet patches... I highly doubt EA would restrict access to the game if they ever wished to close servers... They would release a server exclusion patch or something...
