thought you guys downunder might benefit from this.... free give away with newspaper !

"Anyone in Australia who plans on picking up the Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, or Courier-Mail on Saturday will be in for a pleasant surprise. Included with the newspaper is a free copy of the full-version Spore Creature Creator. Electronic Arts' local arm has teamed up with the east coast publications to distribute the full version software for the first time in Australia.

The giveaway is the first time the full version will be available in Australia and is a one-time offer, available only with this Saturday's paper. The software was originally released last month and within 24 hours of its release, saw over 260,000 creatures uploaded to the game's online service--Sporepedia. The disc also comes with what an EA spokesperson has called an "AU$15 off per-order at EB [Games stores]," but refused to go into more detail.

Not so good for those of us who already have it...it's always the way *grumpy*

I'm not sure what all the stuff in the article about us not being able to get the full version is about though...I have had it since just after it was released *is confused*

I've had the trial version since it was released and got the full version yesterday (cost me $1.40) This has been my 4 year olds favourite game for a while and he was so excited to have all the options.
"AU$15 off per-order at EB [Games stores],"
So they should; the price here is double the US price (A$99 to US$50) with the exchange almost dollar for dollar I don't see why we have to pay so much more for software; even digital downloads! Sorry about the rant; this is my new pet hate!
