   This Sunday, February 20, Bits Du Jour http://bitsdujour.com/ will be offering Sims 2 from Electronic Arts at a 100% discount. That's right it will be FREE.

   The offer may only last for 24 hours (the last time they did this, the offer was an ongoing, not a 24 hour deal).

   Why would Electronic Arts want to hand out free copies of Sims 2 ?

   My opinion:

   1) The Sims 2 Store will be closing it's doors on March 31st 2011. link: sims2 forum

   2) Gamers who like Sims 2 might consider purchasing Sims 3 (if they haven't already).

   Thanks for the heads up BuBBy. I was never into The Sims until picking up one of the originals several weeks ago from one of the local Charity shops. I'm waiting for the Sims 3 to be offered at a decent discount via Steam, but in the mean time I’ll definitely be taking advantage of this deal. I'd better put a post it on my desktop to remind me though as I’m likely to forget, lol. :)

   I went to the above website today and all they have is The Sims Bonanza (at 40% off) and Metasearch (50% off) but not just the sims 2 for free :<

   I don't know just went back there and they added another prg (3herosoft iPod to Computer Transfer) but still nothing about the sims. And these deals have 22 hours yet to go. Bummer as I really would like to get The Sims (prefer 3 but het would still like 2)

   There was no mention of Sims Master Bonanza in the Bits Du Jour email they sent out last week.

   

   Must've changed their mind.

   BuBBy, thanks for trying to share with us and for providing their original notification so we could see why you were misled. I see other notes on their website from people complaining about the false advertising and for not responding about why they changed the deal.

   I have many happy memories of the first Sims game... I can get The Sims 2 from Amazon for £5.. I may just get it and buy the Sims Bonanza and have all the expansions too..

   Not a bad price, when you consider each of the expansions cost £20-£30 each, but it's a shame they aren't honoring their original deal.

   Added my voice to the complaints @ Bits du jour.

   Still no response from the site owners.

   If they do too much of this false advertising, they will lose all credibility IMHO.

   Roger Thomasson Sorry folks, the 0% thing wasn't intentional. Unfortunately EA didn't get us the prices for the promotion until after the mailing had gone out and the system defaulted to the 100% discount. My mistake. We should probably pick a different default....

   Sorry for the confusion!

    Maybe you should wait until you have the details BEFORE you send out any emails. Any default, if wrong, will anger customers.
