Hobbies
Many of the pre-order sites have started updating with pre-orders for The Sims 2 Hobbies.
When the game was announced earlier this month by EA, they gave it a release date of Spring 2008 - which is not very accurate, according to all the online shopping sites the game is set to be released on 12 February 2008.

You can find preorders at the following shops: [ GameStop ] [ Amazon.com ] [ EBGames ] [ Walmart ]

Survey
A few days ago, TheSims2.com posted a survey on the site. The survey asked the user to give feedback on an idea about for a future Sim Stories Game - The Space theme, being one of the many ideas.
Except they have gone one step further, again a Survey has been posted repeating on the original Space Idea, except this time giving the game a potential name of The Sim Space Stories. You can find all the previous Survey ideas [ Here ]
