Anyway, the end result is that we’re not going to see Spore on the shelves for about a year, perhaps more.
I just wanted to note that while the computers at EB Games (in store at least) report a release date of October 1st, the project is reported to be delayed indefinitely with no current ship date.
Live from the EA Site:
The Seasons patch that we pulled last week has been fixed and the new version is available for download. Update your game with the newly patched PATCH!
