Ah yes.. the "three of this thing, five of that" issue. I still kind've like the retro sets. I particularly like the the Jet Set.

On another note.. Ooooohhh.. They've just released a punk and octoberfest set. Check out the punk set. http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?categoryId=11488&scategoryId=12668&pcategoryId=12667&index=0&productId=OFB-SIM3:23569

I think EAxis need to make sure that the themes are complete, if they did that they would sell a lot more. Same with store items. There is nothing worse than trying to match a style of furnishing through out a house and finding that you don't have a matching dining, or bookcase.

I will likely get this one, although I may not get it straight away. Not for the cars so much as the retro clothing.. love it.

You can bank on the fact that there will be a new patch around 9th September, when the new stuff pack comes out.

Yep because let's face it, with EA you can never be sure about much.

That is the alleged release date.

Why mid September? Is that when you have the cash?

I'll have to wait until mid to late Sept. Then we'll find out!

Oh, I didn't know if you knew just how bad the digital versions really are.

I'm not seeing the Deluxe version mentioned on the EB site. Maybe give them a call? Even if they're more expensive, when they're getting it in, it means you could shop round and get some prices from some other stores.

The deluxe is supposed to be $50 USD. I wonder how much in Aus, and if it would be worthwhile having someone mail it to me.
