The Sims 2 website has the game set for release on September 17 yet most of the retail sites incuding Amazon and Gamestop have the game coming out on the 14th. Gamestop even has a countdown clock running for the release. I assume the official site is correct but why would the other sites still have the earlier date?
well the guy that lives next to me has it pre-order and he said it ships the 14.eb will have it in the 15. BTW Tuesday is the day games ship...so the 17 could be the day all stores should have it.
