Spore Limited Edition unveiled
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 25th June 2008
Spore: Galactic Edition will bundle extra DVDs and posters over the vanilla copy.
Unfortunately though, in defiance of current internet trends now that the Spore Creature Creator demo has been released, there'll be no Sporn pin-up posters.
The Limited Edition pack though, which is being titled as Spore: Galactic Edition will have plenty of other stuff in it though. There's a special box to hold all the goodies in, plus a Making Of DVD, a hardback art book, a fold-out Spore poster and a 100 page Galactic Handbook detailing some background information and guides to the world of Spore.
National Geographic has also bundled a 'How to build a better being' DVD with biological and evolutionary insights into creature creation.
The whole Galactic Edition boxset will cost £44.99, which is just £5 more than the plain old vanilla package - so it seems like a pretty good deal really.
"The Spore Galactic Edition is the ultimate backstage pass for the Spore universe," said Maxis' Patrick Buechner. "It's an incredible collection of art, video and behind-the-scenes access to the development team for fans, along with some of the coolest, most collectable packaging in years."
If you still can't decide which version you want to pick up then why not head on over to our comprehensive hands-on preview of Spore and see what we thought of the game. Or, just tell us what you think in the forums.

£29.99 for the standard one actually :D
EA are money grabbing *******s, I love the idea of spawn, but I'm passing on all things EA at the moment as they *still* haven't fixed BF2142... and they wonder why PC piracy is so high?
Price not really botherd about ( its 29.99 on play.com for uk people)( £39.99 for limited edition)( AOC LM was closer to £60)
So its pretty cheap by LE standards
Please send me one limited edition Spore
kthxbye
For £10 more (in real terms) it's a reasonable package - I want a t-shirt too though...
you're basing that off one game?
Tell me about it, everyones like "ZOMG!! MUST BUY!!!" tbh I really couldnt give a toss about this game. Guarenteed it WONT live up to the hype as these things never do, and it'll be bug-ridden as all EA projects are.
..... until i downloaded the free trial creature creator......
holy crap.

what's the big deal?
360/PS3 games are $60 out the gate.
I might as well get the Super Shiny Edition.
Err, we are talking pounds, so that's $80.
Whoops. I really should know better by now.
:(
Next will be cheap, plastic, (lead painted) action fictures for purchase (before the game actually releases).
You get a lot more features with the full SCC. Also when you buy the actual game you get the money back. So what's the fuss? Your getting it for free.
Go try the Spore creature creator (download the demo from the site) and then you can come back and talk about if the game will be worth it or not.
I am pretty sure everybody who has messed around with the SCC is going to buy the game. (assuming they like the concept of the game to begin with)
with regards to the price, I love being in America! (well OK I lied, I'm going to LOVE being in America once Obama is President)
The one you get for free only had 25% of the items you can attach to the body, the one you pay for is the full version. You also get a voucher for the amount the editor costs off the retail price. It just allows you to make loads of your own creatures ahead of time to populate your planets.
I think the RRP is a bit of a piss take TBH, first they put DRM on it, and now they've priced it at possibly the highest price point a regular PC game has been before. In part due to the DRM they've put on there in the first place since that will be costing them money.
Obviously you can get it cheaper than RRP online, but I'm seriously considering giving this one a miss on principal even though I was really looking forward to this game. I foolishly believed EA when they said they're going to be turning themselves around, if anything they've gotten even worse :(
The creator isn't the whole game. How is possible for someone to like/dislike the game when the only thing we can play is the creator??
i fell in love with it just by playing the creator.. its like a preview of things to come... the game design, the details, the play, etc....
that being said, no, its impossible - or not completely fair, rather - to like/dislike a game with only a preview, but some preview cant really realy do a good job.
I actually mailed one BIG ratn about this out to some of my mates last night. It's a horrible hype machine in full swing. Too many extras that make people feel pretty, and too few that add anything real to the game... I understand the art book. I even understand that hardcovers are better than paperbacks. What i fail to understand is the National Geographic DVD... WTH??? What've they got to do with the price of a game?
Personally, i'm not a good person to ask, though: I already decided to avoid the game like every other game by THAT CERTAIN PRODUCER (save for the first Sim City)...
