The Sims 3 console release, an epic event sweeping the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS, is drawing ever nearer, and with its imminent debut, preorder details are now being revealed. For our friends across the pond, when you order the Xbox 360 or PS3 version from retailer Game, you’ll receive the ‘Get Lucky’ Karma Power. From Amazon, all preorders will include the Ultra Lounge Living Room; from Play.com a “muscle car or a top of the range sports car”; and from EA Store/Digital, the Ultra Lounge Outdoor Set.
I’ve asked (actually, Tweeted to the Sims Twitter account, but that’s beside the point) if they plan to announce preorder bonuses for the US, but I’ve gotten no response thus far. Possibly because my Twitter name is vulgar and they don’t want to sully their account by replying. But hopefully we’ll hear something soon anyway!
The Sims 3 comes to console October 26, 2010 in North America, October 29, 2010 in the UK. Check out a few new screen shots above and below.
