How are you liking that massive 1% discount?

It just seems... odd. April Fools or not.

    I think it is cute. Come on, everyone was expecting them to do something. At least they didn't tease people with a 99% off and get everybody mad that it was not true!

    I just saw that. Check out the sale page. 1% off, 1% off, 1% off, 31% off (at least they added it to what was already on sale).

    If it jumps up to something else after the 6 hours are up then I might get interested.

    Fair enough. I was able to get the Villia for the same price as the one item I was missing, so that's something.

    I know, I need me some blue button, didn't get any yesterday. the gift button is gone off the store too, like as if everything is on DD. Very strange if it is an April Fool.

    I haven't been able to see it for entire past week. And only a FEW times before that.
    Completely useless!

    AND REALLY LAME sale/joke! :roll:

    Of course, those DD sales of 0%, or in the "negatives", were even worse :lol:

    Well, I'd better just rush right over there right now and buy something before the timer runs out and I miss out on saving 10 simpoints. :roll:

    I'm not saying that the store team is high, I'm just saying that it's legal in California... :twisted:

    HAHAHAHAHahahaha I'm so hoping this is an April Fool's joke. I saw it and couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of 1% off. :)

    I'm guessing they must be. I just gifted a regularly 25-pt object to someone through their wishlist (it said it was on sale for 24 points) and I was still charged 25. So haha, very funny store team. You stole one simpoint from me.

    Now give me back my blue ads... grr...

    Well I rushed off and bought... nothing! If I haven't bought it full price,a stonking 1% isn't going to make me part with my money.

    On the subject of blue banners I have seen one a few times today. It brings up an ad that won't load so no simpoints to be had there.

    :roll:

    It's April Fools Day! The 1% off sale is funny. You're not actually ever required to buy anything--discounted or not--so why are people being so prickly about it?

    It's legal in Washington and Colorado, not California. Not without a prescription, anyway.

    :mrgreen: I think the 1% off is cute and funny. It gave me a much needed giggle. I get a giggle picturing the staff setting the prices and having to set up the sales page. I get mad at EA often enough, but this is just plain funny.

    Maybe they just did this to get everyone thinking that Make Me an Offer deals are awesome.

    The 1% sale on everything....... might not be an April fools joke, but a practice run for something they're planning down the line.
    Anyway ...... it's all kinda odd.

    It took my CYS price for the April 2013 compilation down to 95 SPs, so I'm not complaining! Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick, as the saying goes :mrgreen:

    I'm not so sure it's actually a joke...
