Now, fair enough I've got no right to expect handouts, but was anyone else suprised?.

Hubby bought $10 worth way back when, I pored over the selections and picked the individual items I felt would fit in best with the way I decorate and the way I create sims.... A month later, the ONLY EA item I still used was .... the FREE panda toy. OY!

So you're saying that you'd be turned off by something because it gave you points? Isn't that a little extreme? I can understand not wanting them but actually being turned off by them seems like an overreaction.

I miss the points, I like store stuff and don't buy my own points very often

You can get sim points at Best Buy I think it said on the site. I think it's EA game cards you buy. Look on the site, it tells you where they're located at. So you don't have to use paypal or a credit card.

As my son's girlfriend and her mom are both petrified of using Paypal, they use the cards instead. Warning: you do pay roughly $5 for the card, so a $25 card nets you $20 in points. I don't mean to be a downer about points/objects. I've been playing since the month Sims1 came out, and I'd rather see developments IN the game instead of needing enticements to buy an expansion. Frankly, EA probably has my pic next to the word "automatic customer", but I have held out and not purchased Fast Lane... so far...
