bansama: Remember with GamersGate they can only sell the US versions of EA games to the US (with very few exceptions). They can sell the UK versions worldwide (with one exception). However, strictly speaking, GamersGate are not actually allowed to advertise the presence of the EA UK games to those outside the UK. But they sneak this in when possible (such via advertising the US daily deal, or adding it to the top rotating banner.
When it comes to discounts, EA UK are not as generous as EA US. And to even see a 33% discount on a UK prices is a bloody miracle. Either that, or it's actually a permanent price drop.
There's also several other Sims expansions discounted on the UK site, so it's either a Sims sale or those are price drops. (May have to wait until the newsletter on Friday-ish to find out).
There's a -33% sticker on the DS2 UK sale page, just like there's a 66% on the US one. Just a sale it seems. That said, those tend to happen before price drops as well so it may be soon.

Either way, not really that interested in the game anyway at that price point. Sims games ... though I'd love to own them, will try and get them on steam, when/if they are still available later(considering Origin) and when/if they are ever at a reasonable pricepoint.
Yes you can. There's a special page for a Steam key for that game here: Link
