EA do something shady? Get outta town!

@ArcanaJ: Yeah, exactly. Development sweatshop. Killer of all good development shops. Crap releaser. Etc.
I could rant about how evil they are for 10 minutes...and I don't even game anymore!

Anyone who knows me, knows that the only games I ever play and stick with (IE. The only game I've ever been really into) is the Sims.. and I pay full price because I just can't wait till it goes down.
It would be really soon for the Sims 3 to be 20 dollars. The first expansion isn't even out yet.
Silly ad, you pulled the wrong game box pictures.

@Kimaroo - Fortified with Kittydus Purrularis: But...but...What about Viva Pinata for the PC? I happen to know you recently acquired a copy of said game. So ha!
You must stick with the pinata. Or, at the very least, you must beat the pinata with a stick.
@subtlefrog:I do have it, but I haven't installed it yet. I plan to tonight! Woo! But as of right now Sims is where it's at!

@Kimaroo - Fortified with Kittydus Purrularis: How great is the sims 3 though?! God I love that game.
@Jeremy82465: It is, indeed, awesome. Mr. Aroo is royally pissed that they left out the piano this time around though.

They had their 20% off games in stock sale a week ago, so this doesn't seem far fetched. I couldn't get the 20% deal to work for me, so this ad for games that are actually over $20 is not surprising.

It's still the PC version of Mass Effect though.

@asten77: Well, IIRC, the PC version is $10 cheaper. At least that was the case in the past. It's the case with Dragon Age, as well.
Not that I don't like the PC versions, but they run like poo on my machine, so I'm stuck in Consoleville, sad panda that I am.
I have seen this ad as well on fark

@Kimaroo - Fortified with Kittydus Purrularis: One of my coworkers went as a sim for halloween. It was great.

@Oranges w/ Cheese wants it to be winter already: That's a great costume idea, actually. Never occurred to me, even though I'm a huge Sim fan. How did they make it clear they were a Sim? *really, truly curious and eager to know*
@Oranges w/ Cheese wants it to be winter already: Did they work out some way to get the plumbob to float above their head?
I'm seeing this ad on www.theawesomer.com now.
Perhaps this ad was meant for their employee stores, were all games are $19.99.
A photoshop prankster on Fark? Never.
@Smashville_now with Monster Energy:
I'm the subby (Seth) and I've never used photoshop, don't even have it installed on my PC. Ironically, both of the ad boxes on Fark had this ad in the screencap I sent. I emailed a bunch of people in EA's Public Relation department, but no response. Surprise!
