Does anyone know what protection SIMS 2 will use?

Are you saying that The Sims 2 uses a current version of safedisc that Daemon tools or Alcohol could mount successfully? Usually when a big title is released (Which The Sims2 is, whether you are a fan of this type of game or not), that game uses the latest version of securom or safedisc, which blacklists all current image mounting tools. Maybe EA Games reckon that this title will be in such demand, that it will be ripped whatever protection they use, and so aren't too concerned about it. After all, this WILL be the biggest selling title on the PC this year, and I include Far Cry and Doom3 in this. I think it's because the title also appeals to the ladies out there. I'd still like a nocd fix when I buy it on Friday though, as I don't like having originals or Image tools on my machine.
