Most likely it will be... usually where I live if you preorder you can pick it up in the store the day after the ship date. Sometimes they dont let you though until a day after its in the store for preorder pickups if you didnt preorder... At least thats what its been like for me.. so I preorder to get it asap... Did anyone notice how it NEVER comes out on a weekend? its always smack in the middle of the week so you have to go to school or work the next day.
Take a look at a new sims2 chat site ran by Tease. There are mods and we are working to get teh site off of its feet. You can look around and if you feel like joining that would be great for the site. Thanks
