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.
