Pre-ordered mine yesterday. Was hoping I could play it already

Seems from what I've been reading that the servers fell over...

Hmm, I think this pertains to the current situation as well...

Am seriously considering not picking up my reserved game after all the negative reviews, tough decision I've been waiting 10 years for this...

There is no rush, just wait it out. Be stong. Resist.

Edit: it's Sim City 4 though

It's just DRM issues, launch issues... the game will be awesome.

It has not confirmed as to whether the Mac version will be a separate purchase or not. You will have to wait to find out.

 

[goswald]

Origins only show PC as the supported platform. So not to sure about the box.

According to this, SimCity digital copies has been pulled from Amazons shelfs

This doesnt look good.

I really hope that EA can sort this out, I am a huge fan of the SimCity series (poured many a hour into the very 1st one as a young omelette) and would really like to get this.

EDIT: Scratch that, I see that Amazon still has the Limited Edition available, but with a warning on the page about the connectivity problems. Just the Standard Edition that has been pulled.

I walked into Incredible Connection yesterday and bought a copy for R399, not the cheapest, but I was lazy and happy to get a physical copy before the release date.

Went home installed, used TunnelBear free VPN to spoof US IP. Updated game, had quite a bit of frustration getting started on a server, lots of connectivity issues, but eventually played for about 4 hours with no problems.

Enjoying it very much thus far, but not sure how long it will hold my interest.

I bought the online copy from EA just now. R399 got me the limited version and included extra Plumbob Park for free at checkout

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

Got the SMS that I can pick up my pre-order, still not sure if I'm going to...

The same issues were there when Diablo3 came out. 2 weeks later it was running flawlessly
