Nightlife preorder bonus question

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

Okay most site where you can preorder Nightlife are offering the car
download as a bonus when the game ships..

I want to know how it will handled by those of us who have physically pre
paid a deposit at a local Ebgames or Gamestop type store. I had a huge store
credit that I am using to pay for this game, so I am locked in to getting it
physically from Gamestop.

My local Gamestop was clueless when I asked and they thought it was only for
online orders. Any confirmation of this from anyone else?

I know it is not s really big deal, since most Sims2 designers will nail the
car mesh and create wonderful recolors shortly after the game has been out a
while, so one special download will not ultimately matter. I was just
curious.

Appreciate anyone who might know,


Thanks
Tina

Here's the url of what I read

http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/communi [...] tartRow=26

" I would know because I preorderd my game on tuesday at EBgames. I asked
them about the free download and the person went looking to see if they had
it. They found it was a purple paper and the ad that we all saw on the
internet regarding the free car download. it had like a pin number and a
websit addressto get my free download, but I can't activate it until the
game comes out, but that makes sence. "

(You might have to put that into Babelfish to make it comprehensible...)

Just kidding! I got the code and site 3 days ago. Ask again! (and
