    What happened to the prices?

    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    So I've recently walked down the PC software section of my local Future Shop (where I buy all of my Sims 3 items from) and noticed that Fast lane stuff is finally on the shelves... hooray.

    However... the price tag was 24.99, which made me rub my eyes at first but that didn't help. The label still said: "SIMS 3 FL STUFF $24.99" (In Canadian Dollars). I remember buying High-End Loft Stuff almost six months ago and the price was 19.99 CDN.

    Then I noticed that both the Base Game AND Ambitions was on sale (and every other price that was on the Sims 3 shelf).

    Base Game: 39.99 CDN (On Sale)
    World Adventures: 49.99 CDN
    Ambitions: 29.99 CDN (On Sale)
    High-End Loft Stuff: 19.99 CDN
    Fast Lane Stuff: 24.99 CDN

    So my question is: Why is Fast Lane 24.99 CDN while HELS is still 19.99 CDN?

      Well, I'm Canadian and I find it weird that FL is 5 dollars more than HELS. I bought HELS two days after it came out... the price was 19.99

      EA is just money hungry and willing to risk it.

      EA-"We have some new SP which are an extra 5 dollars! ;)"

      Simmers- "GIMME GIMME GIMME!"

      Remember, were addcited so we tend to buy it, even if its $328749

      I'm not sure
      but it seems weird it's more expensive in Canada
      here in the US it's $19.99 bot FL and HELS
      and the base game is either $20 or $30 at the walmart in my town

      Same here at my local Walmarts in St Joseph Mo. It is rollback prices for sims 3 games.
