i have been wondering is it worth buying the sims 3 yet or shall i wait for the double deluxe thingys?

This isn't really a debate, so I'm going to go ahead and lock it. However, if you'd like information to help you decide if TS3 is the right game for you, I'd recommend taking a look in our Sims 3 Discussion section. Make sure you check here as well for some links to FAQs about the game as well as a link to a section where people have given their opinions and reviews of the game.
