This is probably true. In fact, it may be launched as early as next week. Dad heard from Maxis insider. In fact, he already said last year that Maxis will be bringing it in this year and just got told that it will probably be next week.

Obviously, there's no news on any website so far to confirm this. So I guess you're just gonna have to take my word for it. If it happens, rejoice! If not, the world moves on...
