Sims 3 Release Delay Confirmed

I didn’t want to believe that the reported delay was going to affect the US. I wanted to stay in my little fantasy world and believe that the delay would only hit the foreign markets and that the US would be able to thumb our noses at everyone else. [Not very nice but we were SO close to the release date!]
And then, I saw this in an EA press release:
“The June launch combined with the break-through game the team is building gives us the perfect runway to create awareness for The Sims 3,” said Russell Arons, Vice President of Marketing for EA. “The Sims 3 will be the original IP summer blockbuster of 2009 as we build off the success of the best-selling PC franchise of all time to create awareness with both loyal Sims fans and new players.”
Damn.
Can’t argue with that.
I just pre-ordered my game today and I keep telling myself that June is THAT far away. *sniff, sniff*

I’m so upset. The original release date was my 20th birthday! It was going to be my present to myself.
I’m bummed as well.
The game looks like it’s going to rock…I hope that the wait is worth it.
