"The Sims"

Now, I'm rarely one to complain about overpricing, but has anyone seen the asking price for the PS2 version of The Sims? Something like £38.49 (an apparent saving of £6, meaning RRP is £44.49!).

The Sims is at least 4 years old now, is there something in the game to justify this outrageous price?

It's an all new totally different version. I think it has 3D visuals and er...stuff.

if it's "all new" why is the name the same?

And the game has always been in 3d...

I don't really know much about it, but it now has a 3D camera I think, and I heard ages ago it had a 2-player mode in it.

heh, a 2 player SIMS game will work about as well as the multiplayer mode in Imperium Galactica 2.

Which is to say it won't.

The sims sounds to me like a game that should be played on a PC. Did anyone play SimCity on the PSone. It sucked...bad.

I have the sims on my PC right now, and I hate myself for buying that crap, I don't even think it's an actual game. If you pay £40 for that game, then be prepared to feel ripped off, and very dissapointed.

Maddness behind the idea of the price of the PS2 version.

Anyone with a decent amount of Brain Cells are going to see the price difference of that between the PS2 and PC versions and obviously (i would hope) go for the cheaper version.

But as they say, theres always the few odd balls.

Games that go from the PC to the PS2 never sell well.

Because:
- They're cheaper on the PC
- They're usually released months (sometimes even years) before on the PC
- Umm... that's about it, but still.

:-D

Duh. The only people buying the PS2 version don't have a PC (good enough) to run The Sims.
