    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    My local game store just called me to say my copy of Diesel is in and available for pickup! what's funny is I live in Australia and its currently Monday 9/7 1:30pm and the game is not officially released till Thursday 12/7 and my PC is broken so I can't play or post pics >.< I have to head out soon to run some errands and then I'll go by and pick it up. I can provide a photo of the game case and disc for you all and try and register it online so we can see what the logo looks like but that's about it

    I reckon I may be one of the first to have it! :mrgreen: funny other times when my PC was working they would never sell it to me till the official release date and now Im getting it super early and can't play :lol:

      You're very lucky to be able to get the sp soon! Sorry to hear about your machine though.

      I'd be so annoyed if I had it before release date but couldn't play it due to a broken PC. At least you can see the funny side to it. You're lucky they have it in early though, rflong has her copy too. :)

      The box art isn't really interesting. :)
      Are you hoping for hints to something?

      Sorry to hear about your computer! I got one EP 1day early once and It was great :D. I usually get EP:s and SP:s from Origin but maybe I should go back to retailer versions :lol: . Sometimes they do release the games day or two early.

      Is it just me or is the back different than other stuff packs? Even the KPST pack followed the back art "tradition" but this one is different...hmm...

      Wow, you guys are so lucky to get it early! I'm picking mine up tomorrow and right now am in the process of installing the patch. I'd be so bummed if the computer wasn't working for it. I've never been lucky enough to get a game early.

      Rflong beat me to it! the box art is quite plain, usually there'd be a blurb or a short description of the game but there was nothing this time so I was quite surprised. Also the icon is a plain olive-green color, denim patterned would've been more fittting with the theme, or even red.

      I powered my PC up and it seemed to be working so after hours of backing everything up and troubleshooting, checking the event viewer etc. I thought it must be working! so when I went to turn it on to play this morning I got the 'disk boot failure message' >.<

      Sorry, what tradition?
      They're both are set up the same. KPST and this have a big picture on the top, 2 smaller pictures of the stuff, with a Sim standing at the side.
      They're pretty much the same. :)

      It is quite funny - I always try and get my games early but with no luck as they never break release date and this time I get it really early but my PC is broken!!! :lol:
