I'm still thinking - for a couple of reasons. The main reasons being - I don't want all the bugs that comes with a new game, and I need to increase my RAM. My pc runs on 1Gig (which is the system requirement for Sims 3), but I want to get another gig, so until I do that, it is a no-no. I do have plenty space on my two hard drives, lol, so that is not an issue.
For now, I am perfectly happy with my Sims2 collection. Don't have much time for playing right now either, so I guess I will wait and see feedback from those who are getting it right away. The open neighbourhood does fascinate me, as does a few other "selling points" but the proof is always in the pudding!
I'm not surprised. Now what would surprise me is if EA was delaying the release to give us all a perfectly running, bug free game. *snort* I'm so funny!
