    Wow that's crazy :shock: I never heard of a game going on sale before it's even released.

    Wish it was on sale in the US. I haven't bought it yet. But it is a little concerning that they're dropping the price already.

    I suppose Amazon had some pre-orders cancelled and panicked.

    :lol::lol:

    I live in canada, I wasnt going to buy the game, but this is actually a very good deal. Should I buy it to at least try it? Ughhhh so confused. I hate what they have done with this game, but I still dont wanna miss this deal.


    I agree with this price point tho.

    If you hate what they have done with the game, don't buy it at all; otherwise, you will be encouraging EA to keep ripping out features. jmo

    Agreed, and if it's already on sale chances are it will be on sale after release rather quickly.

    The OP means the game is already discounted and it's not even out yet.

    If I lived in Canada I would jump on this deal! My mom ordered the premium for me as a gift in the USA and I wish it was $30 off here!

    so, If I physically purchase the game in Canada, and then take it to the states and put it on my computer in the states, it would still work, right?

    I live in the states, but only an hour from the border and often visit friends in Canada.

    Or perhaps get several copies in Canada, and then could send to you guys for the same discount price?

    The company is aware of the backlash it has received from a long list of features removed from the base game.

    First they tossed out letters explaining their actions, but thus far it is not working.

    So now they are offering a free CAS demo, a 15 minute game play video and to sweeten the deal, they used a rather popular company-Amazon to give a sale off Sims 4.

    Its kind of same concept at getting a kid to clean their room.

    Parent: "If you clean your room, you can stay up an extra half an hour!"

    Kid: "No!"

    Parent: "How about an extra half an hour and a bowl of ice cream."

    Kid: "No!"

    Parent: "OK, how an extra half an hour, ice cream and five bucks?"

    Kid: "OK!"

    Yes. Canada and US are both in the same "zone" (along with the rest of America).

    I just dashed over to amazon.co.uk to see if they had a reduction.....nope. Typical xD
    Seriously though I wonder if they did this due to cancellations?

    I only got the game from Amazon for $20!! I applied for a Visa card from them and got $60 off instantly from my order. Hopefully the game is worth the $20....

    The $.03 drop is to match Walmart's price.

    The flop is starting.

    Preorders are low and deep discounts are here.


    I hope that gives EA a pause and make them think seriously about delaying and making the product better.
