The Sims 3 Gone Gold

May 11, 2009 8:24 AM

Confirming that The Sims 3 will "street in 60 countries June 2," EA has revealed that the long-awaited PC and Mac lifestyle sequel is finished and has enterted manufacturing.

Alongside the $49.99 regular edition, retailers will also be stocking a $69.99 Collector's Edition, which packs the game itself, one Sims-styled 2GB USB drive, a tips guide, plus the "bonus in-game European-styled sports car unavailable elsewhere."

Is the USB drive used by the game in some way or is it just some shit they are throwing in?

  Probably just something they are throwing in, like how Saint's Row 2 had that bullet shaped USB drive.

  No imagination = paying 20 dollars extra for just an extra USB stick ;/

  Perhaps it'll be a USB security dongle, for silencing routine bitching over install limits.
