I own all games except the latest SP and GP. And because I have all the EP, I can't even click on the "build your own bundle" to find out how much it is so I have the money needed when the next EP comes out.Can anyone tell me the price? Or does it change depending on the EP, GP, and SP you pick (just want to be sure incase I got it wrong)?Plus, does it go on sale during Black Friday weekend?

I am wondering the same in Canadian dollars haha ?. I paid 54 Canadian during sales for bundles but I was wondering the original non sale price for someone who asked and can't see it cuz I own too many packs

There have been sales for bundles, I've seen them drop from AU$60 to AU$50 before (normally, an EP/GP/SP here would cost AU$95). This was at the same time as a 50% off EP sale, so I got two EPs, a GP, and an SP for $75 instead of $145, which is pretty good! Black Friday will probably have bundle sales!

I wait for bundle sales... they save you a bundle :D There's not much point in paying full price if you can avoid it.

There are also times when the bundle price goes down, usually when EPs are on sale, because it adjusts accordingly so I'd personally wait for the next sale, whether it's for Black Friday or whenever EA decides to do one (I'm yet to figure out the pattern besides their annual publisher sale at the start of the year). In UK prices, I've seen the bundle price be down to £34.99 or thereabouts when EPs & GPs were 50% off. SPs have been at 60% off once or twice this year, GPs were half price. So yeah, worth waiting it out (I don't bother with the 25% off ones since there's bound to be better ones)

how much is it to build your own bundle?

You basically get the Game pack free.
In the UK the prices are

EP =           £34.99
GP =           £17.99
SP =           £ 9.99
Total =        £62.97
Bundle price = £44.97
Saving =       £18.00

I recently did my own bundle I got Moschino Stuff Pack, Realm of Magic, and Island Living for $49.98 so I saved like $20. Now I have everything until something new is released.

yep, and at £45 you can forget it, just for some DLC content. I'm waiting until that discount gets much deeper where it would be more reasonable. i'm not looking to throw away £300 on one game, that would be absurd.

I know what you mean. I did with The Sims 3 and I'm not doing it again. I got into TS3 when Island Paradise came out and I was lucky to get the game and some expansion packs in physical form when my local Game store was having a clear out, lol The rest I got on Amazon during sales as well. I did get the SPs on Origin and spent a lot on the store but was also able to take advantage of the ads they used to have and got a lot of free stuff.

Now I just have the base game for TS4 and not planning to buy more as this version doesn't interest me as much as TS3 did. I'm not too keen on the pricing when it's just digital media either.

In the US, the price is $49.99, so for us, it's also like getting the GP for free.
Sales on bundles are fewer than sales on EPs and GPs, but the problem you will have with Black Friday is that when the sales start, even if bundles are on sale, the newest EP will be yanked from possibly bundling it during the sale because it will not have been out long enough. In fact, for the first sale following the release that includes the latest release (and possibly the next one), the EP will only be 25% off. That's the pattern that they started after Seasons was released. Maybe, Black Friday will be different - don't expect too much though.
The usual sale for bundles is 20% off. Sometimes it's more, but I've seen 20 most of the time.

This week I bundled Island Living($40), Realm of Magic($20), and Moschino Stuff($10). It would have been $70 and with the bundle it was only $50(plus tax) so I basically bought the Expansion and Stuff packs and got the Game pack free. I think it was like 28% off.
