Pre-Order Generations and Get Outdoor Living Free

[Pam]

Electronic Arts is having a special promotion.  If you pre-order Generations, you'll get Outdoor Living Stuff free!  This is only if you order from the EA store.

GAAAH! I already preordered it on Amazon...

Maybe you can cancel it.

[Asleep]

Is it possible?

[Ausette]

Huh, mine says "Order Generations, get Late Night 20% off". Have they changed it, or is it just me?

I don't know.  You'll have to check with Amazon.

That's odd.  When I click the link, I get the free Outdoor Living deal.

[Ausette]

Rats, it's probably different here in Australia then. I guess I won't be getting Outdoor Living this time.

At first I see the outdoor living offer, then when I click on it, it goes to the 20% off Late Night offer. So I suppose it is different for us Aussies.

[Ausette]

Shame, I was looking forward to that. Do you think it's still worth preordering? Is it cheaper, or are there usually other bonuses with preordered games? Otherwise I might as well wait until after my exams.

[Asleep]

Yaay~! My dad said I could cancel my Amazon preorder and get this one instead!
OLS, here I come!

That's good for you, Simstar.
I've already got Outdoor Living, and it's great fun.

Usually I pre-order from a local store, that way I can pick it up right away, but I'm considering pre-ordering from EA this time because I really want ODL. 

What is everyone's experience with shipping or download times on the day the new release is out?  Not sure whether I want to get hard copy or digital...

I live in Canada.  The only time I've pre-ordered from EA was Sims Medieval.  It arrived on the morning of the release day, which I thought was really good service.

I was gonna pre-order the digital download from the EA store but now it only says platform PC. I have a Mac so I guess I can't get it.

I thought the discs were usually those dual compatibility win/mac discs. The Amazon page has it listed as:

The Sims 3: Generations
by Electronic Arts
Platform: Windows Vista / XP, Mac OS X Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
