 Re: 500 free simpoints from nvidia - real or fake?
It looks like one of those gimmicks that looks kick ass from the title, but they end up making you subscribe to all this crap and give a bunch of personal information and take a bunch of surveys etc. There's always fine print with that kindof stuff. You can try it anyway though. I personally wouldn't waste my time with it though.

I tried it and it had checkboxes for subscriptions, and I didn't tick them and haven't gotten an email regarding offers and/or news. pocketmouse wrote: What is "Sims ID" ?? The name of your account on TS3, like mine is 'ErhamaPlayer'.

 Re: 500 free simpoints from nvidia - real or fake?
Wow, that's really awesome if they come through... I just entered as well but I'm skeptical... why would EA give something away for free?? That's just not like them!

It's free to the end-user, but nvidia gets advertising out of it, so I'm sure they paid EA for it. Also, EA does tend to give out free stuff every once in a while.

Thanks for the tip, I just received an email with the code to redeem the 500 points, and I just redeemed them, works absolutely fine :) I filled in the form on Sunday, so I got the points fairly quick :)
