Depeche Mode to be featured in an upcoming Sims 2 add-on

Here's a quote from the bottom of wikipedia's entry on Depeche Mode:

Also in 2006, they have announced that their upcoming single release "Suffer Well" will also be sung in Simlish as it is featured on The Sims 2: Open for Business PC game soundtrack along with accompanying video (the group featured as Sims). Of course, the conventional video and single will be done in English. They join other 1980s stars, Kajagoogoo and Howard Jones in the PC game as musical contributors with their performances in Simlish.

Does anybody know if Open for Business is out yet? I want to take a look at DM as Sims...

The first three singles (and rumored choice for the 4th single) of the DM album "Playing the Angel" are 4 of the best 5 songs on the CD, so they are choosing their singles well (IMO).

Yes, that sims expansion is out currently, so you can probably find it to check out the song. It does require Sims 2 though.

I found the video online. I totally dig the star-crossed attempted relationship between the robot and the young lady. I wonder how similar this music video is to the actual video for Suffer Well.

Suffer Well is a really good song, though I like it better in English than in Simlish. I was also amused to see Sims version of the band...
