Starting June 12th on simcity.com, you can download a demo of SimCity Societies that includes the recent updates, which consist of: New Strategic Modes, new disasters, more charts and graphs, new scenarios, new buildings, improved controls, and over 100 new additions.

Of course, to really use all of those new things, you have to have the full game, but the demo is still new and the demo and updates are free.

Also, the expansion pack, Destinations is due out June 23rd, as is The SimCity Box, which includes Societies, Destinations, SimCity 4, SimCity 4 Rush Hour, Snap City and Spore Creature Creator Trial Version.
