Stellar Spore Galactic Edition

Since people have had to wait so long for EA’s Spore, it seems only fitting that a special edition version of the game will be released on the launch date. The Spore Galactic Edition will feature the Spore game, along with a “Making of Spore” DVD, the National Geographic Channel’s special “How to Build a Better Being” on DVD, an “The Art of Spore” art book, a Galactic Handbook and a poster. It will be released on the same day as the original edition (September 5, 2008), but will be a bit more expensive.

The price is a bit of a mystery. The official press release states the Spore Galactic Edition will cost $79.99, and a quick peek at GameStop’s site confirms this. However, the EA Store shows the same product for $69.95. Perhaps this is an oversight, or maybe people who buy direct from EA will receive a deal. If you’re interested in the game, it might be worth checking out come September.
