Is This just another rumor?

[CountryGal4132]

Ok, so I have been looking around and I heard from another site (I don't remember which one) that the sims 3 disc would be able to play on both macs and pc's. 

Is this correct, that the one disc will play on either type of computer?  It sounds weird to me but I would love it if it could.  Anyway, if any of you know whether or not that's true please say so!

Oh good, so I'm not the only person to have tried to get a PS2 game to work in a PC, or vice versa.

And I hadn't even heard about that. ONE disk playable on TWO types of computers? Well, I guess that's... good? I dunno, I'm just happy for the Mac people, because now they don't need to wait any longer than the PC people. Like it should be. =]

I agree with the mac people not having to wait as long.  I'm a PC person but if I had a mac I would be upset that my version of TS3 was coming later too if it were.

It's true. It's not the first computer game or program to be usable in a pc or mac. I think we are going to see plenty more programs on on disk.

I agree, it will be the way things are done in the future.

It's perfectly possible by having them put both the Windows Installer (.msi) and the Mac installer (not sure of the extension or name).

[CountryGal4132]

well that's really good because I may be changing to a mac in a year for college and I would hate to have to buy TS3 all over again because of getting a new computer.
