Spend $40 worth of SimPoints, get ripped off with 2 free items! I’m about to lose my freakin’ mind – I do not know how much more of this stuff I can take – hopefully I’m not alone on this.* Check this out to see if it makes any sense to you.* The Sims Store is running a new deal that if you purchase 4,000 SimPoints ($40) you will get two free Christmas theme items (see pic on the left). I mean seriously…Who do they think we are?* Millionaires?* Chumps?* First off – $40 SimPoints…yeah, I can totally see spending that much during the holiday season.* I mean Christmas presents?* Who needs them?* Not like they’re aren’t real life items that can be purchased for that much.* “Forget that new sweater you’ve been wanting, honey!* My Sim’s needs are more important!” Not only that but your getting two shirts/hats for free.* I mean couldn’t you make it something spectacular like a true Holiday set with 20+ items or something?* Or perhaps a snow-themed town?* 2 measly clothing items isn’t a draw. How much more of this are we going to take?* I hate to see more EA folks lose their jobs, but I wish their whole store concept would blow up in their face.* Or at least lower the prices where they should be – cheap.* I know I stand against the fact of illegally obtaining items for free from the store…but if they keep this up I’m tempted to pull a Robin Hood on them.

You're certainly not alone - I'm tired of their Simpoints promo stuff. This would be the 3rd time they're offering something for buying points. It's not like people have alot of money and it's Christmas - there are presents to buy for the family. We just buy for the kids in the family. On top of that, we just bought a new house. We certainly don't have $40 extra dollars for me to waste on their stupid store.
