The Sims 3 Collector's Edition Detailed
I wasn't even aware that EA's The Sims 3 was anywhere near the point where they could announce a collector's edition of the game, but here we are, with an official press release and everything. Select North American retailers are now accepting pre-orders for The Sims 3 Collector's Edition, $69.99 worth of virtual people, a drop in the bucket compared to how much fans will spend on expansions over the course of the game's lifespan. Included in the super mega mega edition of the game is the game itself, which is always handy, a The Sims Plumbob USB drive with a matching green Carabiner, an exclusive in-game sports car, a tips and hints guide, and some Plumbob stickers.

While the majority of the big revelations about The Sims 3 have already been taken care of, today's website update does include some new screenshots, as well as a look at the new personality trait system. Once you create a Sim's physical appearance, you can combine five personality traits together to define how they behave. Want an unlucky, slobbish, easily-bored yet friendly mooch, or a hot-headed, rude, childish and excitable jerk? The ability to fine tune your Sim's personality should make for some very interestingtorture sessionsgameplay indeed. Hit the jump for a press release full of Sims 3 goodness! More »
