Here's a little countdown widget they put on their site (just in case people don't believe it): http://thesims3.ea.com/view/pages/coolstuff.jsp

Oh well, it's probably for the best.

IMO its good they take some extra time, since something looked very off about the game in the trailers.

Not really surprised at the delay itself but the actual length of the delay. Game was due out in less then three weeks and all of a sudden it gets pushed back four months because of bugs? Not really buying it but whatever.

Honestly though I was more upset about the Dragon Age delay. I've read about a half dozen reports saying the game was pretty much done and that testing was going well and the game should be released on time. Now out of the blue the game isn't ready and has be be delayed till the 2nd of the year AKA Holiday season, which just coincidently coincides with the release of the console versions. So now we have to wait till November/December because EA didn't want to risk losing any of it's console sales to the PC.

Was really looking forward to both these games too saddly, just a shame what are industry has become.

wtf. How do you go from thinking you need to delay it from 10 days to 4 ****ing months?justheretodl124

No please DO NOT sign that petition, becuase if EA did listen to that (which would be stupid) and released the game early then everyone would complain the game is buggier than hell and EA woudl look bad and lose massive ammounts of sales which right now would lead to more pink slips going around.

Don't worry. Online petitions never work.

Probably so they can start making expansions already to continue to milk the franchise as much as possible. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a few months down the line after the release, a new expansion is announced.Stevo_the_gamer
