WooHoo!

Now all we need is the system specs. I'm still planning to run sims 2 and sims 3 on my laptop depending on the specs of the sims 3.

Oh dear God it's not coming out then is it? Graphics are more like a crap cartoon than a new game. The Sims 2 has great graphics ...
I could wait another couple of years to buy this.

The specs are gonna be really high though I suspect to run that rubbish non-loading thing, Becky! Oh wait, the crap graphics kinda evens that out ...

So true.

Well, at least there's no worries on whether your graphics card could run it!

I might dig out my computer from 2002, that'll run it really well.

Yes that's true, my graphics card only just runs The Sims 2 on medium so it should be able to run The Sims 3 really really well.

Oh, I think I have a really old computer that will run it well too! And some Pentium ones!

Dont have a horrible feeling, because im almost certain it will happen, as many games get pushed back for a while. my guesses the final release date will be around april
