Sometimes, living in Australia has its advantages!

Are you new here? You may want to subscribe to the Spore Daily RSS feed to receive regular updates.

Easing the pain of my current ill-health I received confirmation this morning that my copy of Spore has been bundled off and is on its way to me, hopefully to arrive tomorrow.

One whole day early, here in Australia. But potentially not until Thursday.

In any event I will hopefully have my hands on the game tomorrow some time and if I can tear myself away from it I will try and have a review up… by the weekend or something!

Anyone else getting their’s early? Or already got it? Feel free to sound off in the comments so we can all hate you and plot your downfall and so on. :-)

Yes, I wasn't sure whether to believe it when I first saw that we'd be getting it on the 4th. It's so very rare for us to get anything before anyone that it seemed like it must have been more bungling by EA Australia.
But no, we get it first! :)

Enjoy the game!

Considering one of the main software distributors in Aus has a red label plastered all over their site strict release date.

I find this rather disappointing being a smaller reseller that businesses cant honour these things.

Considering that one of the major software distributors in Aus has a red label on the ordering website
"Strict Street Date"
Being a small reseller business I find it rather disturbing that other businesses cant honour these things.

For the record I will be ordering my copies on the 3rd so I wont receive them till the following day being the 4th at best.

Apparently EA Australia has been telling retailers they can sell it as soon as copies come in. I don't know if that's only the "larger" resellers or not, but I think they'd've found it hard to justify not letting you sell it early when everyone else is. You should have ordered them in sooner! :)

Anyone know if EBGames somewhere has SPORE yet? Won't get to try until Wednesday arvo at earliest, otherwise picking mine up sometime Thursday lunchtime.

This sure makes a change (getting the game early). We might get Rock Band 2 before RB1 at this rate...

It's already Wednesday arvo! :)
Don't know if all EBs are releasing it early but I believe a good many of them are. Try ringing your local and asking, can't hurt?

Rock Band 1 is supposedly coming October 1st... but then, we've had release dates before, so we'll see.

The snail phone: good thinking...although I'll just drop by on the way home. (Wrote the original in the morning ;-) )

October you say? No matter, can't play it, but interesting none the less...
