$160 Worth of Simpoints?!
I just saw that there is now an option to buy 16,000 simpoints for $160 DOLLARS! :shock: Now I'm wondering why someone would spend more than 150 bucks just to buy virtual stuff. I'm not mad about or...

It was that bargain price that snagged me, too, Dinahdoll!
It is as if we got FREE stuff from the Store. I know I would have eventually spent all $160. This way I got the same amount of Sim points for an excellent discount.
It is, no question, a lot of money to plunk down on entertainment, but I don't think the KIND of entertainment (a game) is relevant. I know plenty of people who get their entertainment from other expensive sources (and many of them don't leave anything tangible, only great memories). Even though Store stuff is virtual, it IS tangible in the sense that you can use what you bought any time you wish to.
If you pay money for, say, going out to see a movie, then you remember the movie, but you can't view it again any time you want unless you later also buy the DVD.
