I'm sorry if this was already brought up, it probably was...
I was at Walmart yesterday and all Sims 2 games, expansion, stuff
packs...were under $15 . Seasons, BV, FT, Apartment Life (first time
I've actually seen it in a store) ..I feel like a moron for paying 30

I got to looking over the spin page for Sims 3 this morning and
thought I'd explore the pre-order options and see what it was going to
cost to get in on the pre-order.
SEVENTY FREAKING DOLLARS!!!!

Pescado has finished backing up the InSimenator site and has issued Walt
with an ultimatum.

... the site, that is.  See http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/index.php/topic,2228.0.html
Kathy and Eric sold the site to some guy who doesn't even play the
sims, and who waltzes in (heh, his name is Walt) and wants to turn it
into a paysite.  Creators are jumping ship left, right ...
