I have the original disc that was pre-ordered in 2009 and the cover art on mine is the first one shown. The white one is a post 2012 version I believe ( ? )
You're correct, OP. I remember seeing it, quickly after it first came out in stores. I was still playing sims 2 at the time and didn't move on till 2011, after I got my own computer. I have the second cover art as a result.
OP"s picture shows the first and the second edition, @lisasc360 shows the third... I didn't even know there were three of them, I have the first and I'll have to check which is my second one

This is the one that tied TS3 to Origin in 2012. The 2012 box cover says "New! Go Social with the #1 selling franchise of all time".
