Sims 3 Delayed, New Release Date Not Available

thats good but please bring it back at least march this is not fair i was waiting my whole life for this game

I am so mad i asked for that for my B-dayi have been waiting since november im soooo mad

OMG me too! I was asking for this for my birthday and my parents already pre ordered it! Now I will have to wait extra long!

OMG! i am SO mad at EA i have waited like my whole life and now they move the date back and i was gona get it for my b day and now..... im mad! cant they move it to like march i mean why june?!?!!? I SAY THAT EVERY SIMS FAN WRITES A E-MAIL TO THEM COMPLAINING MABY THEN THEY WILL CHANGE IT! im mad....

I am really upset abot the delay of the game and the fact that you have no clue when its going to be ready amd some of us have already paid for our games and have i think waited long enough. Im sure the game will be a hit when ever it does come out and i hope soon!!!

I feel your pain guys........seriously. I bought my new computer earlier than I was planning to because of the sims 3. ha ha! I am so sad!

How dare they change it! I've waited since october and now we have to wait till june!

this is just awful I have been waiting for so long now to get this freaking game, it comes out in June 2, if they was ganna delay it, they should have for next month or in April, for me that isnt bad but to wait till June is unfair for those people who has already pre-ordered it . ITS SO AGGRAVATING

I feel all yall's pain, really! I have been keeping up with the game ever since there was "talk" about EA making a Sims 3. Which was like three yrs ago? Not only that....but I just purchase a brand spanking new computer, that I customized specially for the Sims 3.

EA games, I appericate you wanting to make sure that the game runs smoothly. But you really need to know that you just pissed off a lot of people! You should make it up to us, either by lowering the price or release the game in April. Point blank.

I bought a new computer earlier too! At Christmas time when I could least afford it! I have also already paid for the game! I have heard one of the reasons is EA has laid off over 1000 people in the downturn which has had an affect on the release game! Surely they know they will make millions from the release of this game!! Im very upset/angry!

I cant believe they did this to us. Ive been waiting forever for this game to come out. I too have brought a new computer just so that I can play the Sims3 I've even asked my boss for days off just so that I can get the game on the release date and then to get a call from the game shop to tell me that I wont be getting my pre-ordered game until JUNE!. EA I'm starting to believe that you'll will never release this game at all.

(THEY BETTER LOWER THE PRICE DUE TO THE MAJOR INCONVENIENCE!)

"Electronic Arts desperately needs a big hit, as some of the titles it launched in the fourth quarter of 2008, like Dead Space, Mirror's Edge and Spore, have not performed as well as expected at retail." They've performed pretty well as pirated copies, though, thanks to people choosing to intall illegal copies rather than risk installing Securom on their machines. I'm hoping (but not hopeful) that EA has learned from that, and this extra time will be spent finding a DRM system that doesn't incapacitate users' computers.

AMEN on the price break. i was thinking the same thing! i pre-ordered mine from Amazon and feel like i should get a voucher for like $10-$20 off for the crazy long delay.

Electronice Arts must not need a hit that desperately because they had a big one and now they are letting it all go and pissing off a lot of people in the process!

I know your feelings all, but what I did was write directily to EA to tell them exactly what I thought about it. I also told them they are stupid for releasing a game in summer and people are out and active vs. when alot more people will be staying in the house during winter when it's cold outside. I'm encouraging everyone I can to write them and press for an earlier release date.

Electronic Arts may have run into a few problems. Glitches, whatever... but if they have why havent they told us? I completly rebuilt my computer for this game. I have nothing but internet on it now. The only thing good that has come of sims 3 comming out late is me getting a new gaming machine, in a week because my mom feels bad for me, but all the work to rebuild my computer was not worth it now.. With me being homeschooled, I have opened up this next week by working my butt off so I dont have to do school and be able to play the game. Since my parents split up after we pre-ordered it my mom planned for us to drive 3 hours to the store where we pre-oredered it and now I'm stuck babysitting my cousins for the week. They should lower the price on the collectors eddition or add something new for us to have.

seriously guys, take it easy... I bet it's a practical joke! no worries, EA are just trying to make us loose all of our hopes and THEN they will release it, on february 20th. at least that's what I hope for, if I'm wrong I'll never buy it!!!!

...

ah, who am I kidding, I would've bought it even if I had to wait for ten years XD

Hi,
EA will have their reasons for the delay and it's no uncommon to be honest for software to be delayed at UAT point.

Fact is they are fixing bugs spotted at the moment, this is good as it would have spoilt your enjoyment of the game.

Football Manager was over a year in Beta testing ... result a super solid game!

Keep smiling! :-)

I LOVE the sims just like every1 on this forum, and I almost cried when I found out the sims 3 was going to be delayed. I found out the day b4 the original release. Ive been so excited about it. I had even saved up money with my little sister for a long time just to get the collectors edition. I've turned down so many things not to dip in my money. I guess now I can do something useful w/ the money. *sigh*

OH PLEASE, RELEASE THE SIMS 3 FEB. 20 *CRYING* im begging you plz.

OMG! i have been excited for AGES for this game!! and all of my sisters have too!! Me, Lizzie, Lauura, Lauuren, Danni, Jessie and Hannah av all saved up for AGES to get the collectors addition. we dont get pocket money so we hv had to earn it. 50 p each !! we earn by doing jobs. so we worked our butts of for no reason! this is no funny joke. and they really should lower the game price to make it FAIR !!!! all these months of waiting !! Me and Jessie even travelled 2 and a half hours awaay on the day of the release date (20th Feb) . coz we liv in countryside. and yet we get there and ask - where are the sims 3 games?? THEIR ANSWER WAS - havnt you heard?? its been delayed until june now. WE WERE ABSOLUTELY PISSED OFF!!.

Somethin needs 2 be done NOW.

I am also very mad about the date mix up ive been searching and searching some people have said the love the game and they have it but any site i go to to order it , it just says something about a pre-order ive been waiting since last year when i got the the sims 2 bon voyage and it said on the inside coming feburary 2009 SIMS 3 i was so excited i waited and waited and then i called all the stores to see if they had it and all of em pretty much said no it doesnt come until june 2nd it is currently April 14 2009 and my bday is May 1st even after all that i still have to wait till june 2nd im goin crazy with all these dates. I too raise my hand for an earlier release. PLEASE EA! thanks. - Erika

omg will you all shut up about being pissed off!? yea i know they changed the release date and all but don't you think it's for the better? It means their making the game better and it wont have all these weird bugs when we get it. so instead of being mad, think of how good playing the sims3 will be once u get it knowing nothing should go wrong with it

well apparently the sims 3 game is coming out on the 5th or 2nd of june and my birthday is the 19th of june and i ordered it today well actually my sister did of play.com and now i will probably get it next tuesday coz thats the 2nd of june i cannt wait till i get the game its gunna be soooooo cool

EA may have had no choice to do it, but post-poning The Sims 3 really is testing their fans patience. Though it still is going to come out eventually, sometime waiting for something is the best part- and once you have the Sims 3, you'll know it was worth the wait.
