As a matter of fact I pre-ordered the CE one too, but Im still not sure if it's worth it myself, I'd like the flashdrive too. it's like $69?

What's in the box, why should i pay extra? It's not exactly the best lts edition to come out. In all honesty I just want the game.

Sims 3 Collectors worth it?

To me, not even the non-collectors edition is worth it. Oh and flash drives are dime-a-dozen. I got more than I know what to do with them. :)

* Exclusive European Sports Car download
* New The Sims 3 theme music

Didn't seem too much of a good deal to me. I'll get the retail edition instead.

It's not worth my money. I have rent and other games to buy this year. Plus you can dump your own tracks on the radio if that's what the "theme music" means.

Theme music? that's lame..... worse than that, I think it says (theme music ringtone) that's means it's for your cellphone. OMG, double lame!!

Hey

Tbh i think the collectors edition is worth it, if your in to collectors edition and are a great sim fan (like me)

If not how ever i would recomened the retail version, if you dont fancy throwing an editional £10 down the drain, not sure how many dollars that is!!!, The flashdrive looks cool but other than that if your new to the sim game i'd take the retail version...

Of course i pre orderd the collectors edition :)

I preordered the collectors edition as well! I think it's going to be the best game this year. Especially after seeing what is to come for games this year, nothing that looks very good. Sims 3 will definitely keep on entertaining after the first 2 hours, unlike all the generic shooters and lame adventure games out there.

I'm kind of waiting for The Sims 2 with all of its expansions in one package for a nice price. (I've never played The Sims 2.) Obviously I'm not hugely into The Sims, but the first one was fun for a while, and for that kind of deal I'd buy it, but I'm not getting led on with their weird 300-expansion-packs-per-game-featuring-stuff-they-left-out-just-so-they-could-sell-it-to-you-later business model. Also, with The Sims 3, it sounds like the might be getting even more ridiculous with micro-transactions on top of all of that. So, my point is that The Sims 3 isn't worth it for me at all until they have a bundle pack years down the road. :P
