Hell, I love downloading from Steam. I get a game fast, and have the ability to redownload anytime I want, on any pc as long as I'm only logged in on one machine. Having said all that I WAS considering downloading from EA *until* I read that you can onlt re-download for 6 months! 6 months?! To extend this to 2 years you have to pay more! Wait a minute, they are providing me with server bandwidth alone, nothing physical, yet I can have a copy from Amazon for half the price. There is a phrase that Cartman from SouthPark uses all the time, and I'd like to say it to EA. I'm looking at this site- http://www.direct2drive.co.uk/4/6200/product/Buy-SPORE-UK-Download Cheaper than EA, but I'm not sure how long the item can be downloaded for. I may just wait and go with Amazon BrainSpecialist-

I love even more how Spore costs a full £20 MORE THAN THE US VERSION ON SAID SITE. Lets do the math. EA: £45 + the 'privilege' of being able to redownload my game for the next two years (£5) = £50!!! My local game retailer (GAME): £30 (Plus a free copy of Spore Creature Creator if you preorder) Hmm. I wonder where I will go buy my copy of Spore from, he said, his voice dripping with malevolent sarcasm. When I want to get raped economically, I know where I'll go shop! Thanks EA! Also, for any Americans who happen to be reading this and wondering aloud 'Oh, another Brit going on about how expensive games are in England,' or something to that effect, ponder this. Spore, when purchased from EA's UK store, is equivalent to $90. Let me stress that by repeating it, except this time in capitals. NINETY FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A VIDEOGAME DOWNLOADED ONLINE OMFG In short - Fuck you, EA. I go to Valve, where even though I have to ask my parents for their credit card, I can still get Company of Heroes for only £10. I love how EA have a dedicated UK site.

Only a handfull actually feel the same way as Buddy. I was planning on ordering Spore online from a shop, but since the mail has decided to take a U turn back down into the pit of failure, i think i'm going to preload it Sepatember 2nd.

We're not all that bad. As for this, it sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm still likely to wait, given I'm not one of the rabid-foaming-at-the-mouth must have Spore customers, and I like the feel of an actual game box, but I'll credit EA for this.

I can't take offense when American's insult me, since Europe created the US. I like the idea that EA lets people "preload" it. Like Valve does with Steam.

Good job on making America look like a bunch of idiots, no really great job. On-topic:This is a pretty cool idea, though I already pre-ordered this from GameStop so oh well. The different release date may just be a typo. Love, Fox Makenshi Wow buddy, way to show an astounding amount of intolerance in one statement.
