Okay, so I first paid for and pre-ordered Sims 3 back in January, back when it was supposed to be coming out on Febuary 2.

Then they announce that it is not coming out for an additional four months.

Now it is out and I just got an email telling me that it is out of stock and they have no idea when they’ll have enough to send me a copy and that my order is now officially a backorder.

Really?  I pre-order it six months ago and they still were not able to provide me with a copy on the day it comes out?

Now, I am open to the idea that perhaps it was already over sold in January… but I would have thought that six months is plenty of time to make up some of that inventory.

It’s just as well, I really do have things to get done as of late, so it’s kind of a mixed blessing.   Still, I should be playing me some Sims 3 right now.

UPDATE:  EAGames sent an email apologizing and is sending me a copy over next-day air.   Maybe they’re not such bad eggs after all.

Still, I really need to get some things done so it might just sit unopened for a week or two… who am I kidding, it’ll be opened and installed within hours of arrival.

Nice knowing you, productivity.  See you in about three months after I burn out on the Sims.
