The Sims 3
The Sims 3 was illegally downloaded something like 200,000 times prior to its actual release, outpacing the most pirated title of 2008, EA's Spore. Normally, you'd think this sort of rampant piracy would really be quite upsetting to a publisher. Ironically, however, this kind of leak for Sims 3 essentially served as a "demo program," EA CEO John Riccitiello told us as part of a larger E3 interview.

PixelatedGamer.com writes, "In possibly the most random news piece PG have ever published, we show off our new status as EA Press Release receiving moguls with a little bit of fun news.
Nobody here will be surprised to read that EA's gargantuan The Sims 3 has held on to the top spot of the UK PC Sales Chart this week.
What might be news to you however is that bright young thing Pixie Lott, a UK pop singer who collaborated with EA on their latest release, also achieved the number one spot in the UK Singles Chart."

The Sims 3
2008 was a marked year in history for EA. Not because they managed to scare the s#$@ out of more than 1.4 million people with Dead Space and not because they managed to have more than a million people committing virtual suicide over and over again from the skyscraper roof tops in Mirrors Edge, nor was it because they had another 29 titles that sold more than a million copies each in that year. No, 2008 was a marked year for EA because it was the year their new IP Spore was launched and downloaded illegally more than 1.7 million times in the last quarter, making it the most pirated game of all time according to Torrent Freak.» Read More

From the article: "With the E3 expo claiming the vast majority of brain matter of the gaming public, it would be easy to ignore this week's new releases unless it was something huge. Thankfully, it is. Electronic Arts will be releasing The Sims 3 on the PC this week.
Also arriving alongside the second full sequel to one of the most popular games of all time will be THQ's shooter Red Faction: Guerrilla (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) and the one week delay of Codemasters' racer Fuel (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)."

The Sims 3
The amount of users downloading The Sims 3 from torrent sites indicates that the title's long-term piracy rate could top that of Spore, the most pirated title of 2008.
The EA PC title, which isn't due for release until June 2 in the States, was leaked to torrent sites two weeks ahead of its planned launch. And according to BigChampagne, a company that monitors file sharing, it was downloaded at least 180,000 times between May 18 and May 21.
That figure outpaces the 400,000 illegal downloads of Spore over three weeks, reports Bloomberg, presumably referring to the period leading up to the title's release last year. Spore went on to be illegally downloaded some 1.7 million times during the last three months of 2008.

Latest title in series presents unique opportunity for IT retailers, says publisher.
EA has said that IT retailers are ideally placed to take advantage of the 'broad appeal' of The Sims 3.
Speaking to PCR, the publisher said that because the game had engagement with a large swathe of the UK's population that doesn't normally play games, it opened up opportunities for non-traditional outlets, which do reach those demographics – such as IT retailers – to sell the title.

![PC - The Sims 3 - Where Fallout 3 Meets The Sims [Sims 3 Mods]](http://m2.n4g.com/8/News/331000/331585_1_hs.jpg)
Luke Plunkett of Kotaku writes:
"While it sells like heated cakes, The Sims probably isn't high on too many of your playlists. Know what can fix that, though? Making the whole thing look like Fallout 3.
Which is exactly what you can do with these in-game tilesets and objects, some ripped from Fallout itself, others hand-made, allowing you to recreate everything from Fallout's fence pailings and phone booths to some crummy post-apocalyptic ladies fashion."

BeefJack writes: "A new screenshot released for Sims 3 shows the gaming console that you can play when playing the game on your PC.
Showing an enthusiastic male sim and a slightly bored female sim, they both appear to be playing on some sort of games console. It appears safe to conclude that the console is not the Wii but no other conclusions can be made at this time."

BeefJack writes: "UK retailer, GAME, has recently added the Sims 3 Collector's Edition to its online repertoire.
It seems that they may have missed a beat or two though as their screenshots will prove.
Firstly though what the edition contains: stickers, a neighbourhood map and a download code for a vintage in-game car. Pretty generic for a special edition.
Closer inspection of the box art above will provide us with out first clue into what may also be included. A logo for a 2GB USB' is clearly visible at the bottom of the box and appears to show an actual 2GB USB flash drive."
