Electronic Arts Sims Studio today has announced that The Sims 3 for PC and Mac is finished and done; it’s gone gold and been sent to manufacturing for its June 2 street date. And that’s worldwide, too — we’re talking 60 countries worth of people ignoring real-life tasks to take care of their virtual person.
The game will be available in a few flavors, including The Sims Collector’s edition which will retail for $69.99 and will include a 2GB The Sims Plumbob USB drive, a tips and hints guide, and an in-game European sports car for your fake people to cart around in. If you’re not interested in the extras, you can pick up the game at retail or digital distribution for $49.99.
If I can get my PC in working condition for The Sims 3, I may have to re-evaluate Destructoid’s E3 coverage plans. The game launches the week of the expo, and it appears I’m going to have fake persons I need navigate to work and the toilet. Sorry, guys.
Check out our preview of The Sims 3 for more details on the title.
