This morning I had a look wondering when the fuck Spore was going to be released and I stumbled upon ebgames and it said it was released in Australia and sure enough I rang up my local ebgames and they said they'd give me a call when it came in. An hour and a half later I get the call and I ended up splurging on the special edition for $120.

Anyways here are the pics

Although I intend to use it as a motivation tool in order to do my assignment for uni due in just over a week. But you can probably expect screenies and whatnot later on tonight ;)

welcome to game prices in australia and new zealand :)
last game i purchased was mario kart for wii, and it cost me $99 NZD

ffs, guitar hero aerosmith is like $180 at our eb games shops
 
Seems like 120 AUS is equal to 102 American. Ouch.
 
This is what the writer of zero punctuation yahtzee constantly bitches about is AUS gaming prices. He likes to call it having the nicest beaches tax.
 
Nice, glad to see our Aus brethren getting a game before the rest of the world; has hell frozen over?? ;)
 
Holy shit, if you guys have to pay that much just to game you should get EVERYTHING first.
 
The game seems to run smooth maxxed out @1920x1200 with my 4850 which is nice. I must admit that so far Spore is pure win and I haven't even started to scratch the surface yet.

How does the game look maxed out?
I'm unimpressed by the screens I've seen so far, and hoping that they're running at Medium settings lol
 
Heh, I paid approx $45 in local currency to pre-order my galactic edition. Releases on the 7th. Can't wait!
 
Installed its around 3.77gb although when the EA download manager thingy installed which I'm assuming is for updates and other crap to do with the game it requested for around 5gb to be available.

I'll see if I can get some screenies up for you guys either today or tommorrow so we'll see how shit works out.

Holy shit I'm surprised I do not need the DVD in the drive to play this game so it looks like EA has worked out a copy protection w/o screwing the user at the same time. Although the downside to this is you may need an active internet connection at all times in order to play the game but I cbf confirming at this time.

<edit> Here are some pics taken from the Tribal stage (3rd stage) which conveniently provided me with full control over the camera for you lucky bastards.

Good lord I hoped the low texture bullshit from the creature editor would be fixed in the final thing but doesn't look like it.

No, actually not 'nuff said imho. There's tons of game from brilliant designers that turned out to be utter crap. Only because there's a name slapped on to a game doesn't make it good (or bad).

I hear a lot of hype about spore, i hear that Mr. Wright is some kind of Semi-god (yes i know who he is and what he did/made) but really i have not found anyone yet telling me if the game is any FUN.
 
100% markup and they wonder why people pirate? Dumb ass business practice.

Ground textures are probably dumbed down in order to allow for the beings animation. When you have hundreds of things moving onscreen.....

Cheers though!
 
The UK isn't a whole lot better, I went to buy WAR from EA's download store and it's £39.99 which is essentially $80 USD :/

Could be because the full game isn't really out yet, (except as it would appear in Aus.) I have had a blast with the creature creator so far, hell I'm amazed as to what people have been able to create thus far.

To me the concept of the game is fun, being able to grow a critter from a cellular stage through space sounds like a a blast. They are trying to appeal to a mass market, RTS fans, god game fans, sim fans. It's fun (the creator at least,) because the limits aren't really known, you can build things from the ground up in any way you see fit; what wouldn't be fun about that?
