    It's kind of annoying that this was the only bit of news we got on Spore besides the Hands On review on 1up. :(

    the 1up thing was a few days ago, the delay scare was months ago.

    1up, GameSpy, GameSpot, and IGN had a hands-on.

    The buildings can be upgraded over time, and one of the options is to create a building that lets you make costumes. The creatures can have different outfits for activities like hunting or recruiting new tribe members by lavishing nearby neighbours with gifts or wowing them by busting out musical instruments.

    Some of the options for outfits are hilarious, like crowns, feathers, rings, kilts, loin cloths, masks and grass skirts. All are fully customisable in terms of shape, colour and pattern.

    Clothes are in!

    Apparently the official Release Date is March 3rd 2008, and there's box art:

    BTW, you should check out the Wikipedia entry for Spore. There's one guy having a conniption about this being added to the Wikipedia entry. Kinda funny.

    Hm, might just be Amazon.com guessing again, but it does fit with the "we want it to be Fiscal 2008" thing.

    Or wait,d oes it? Does Fiscal 2008 start in March or April?

    Fiscal 2009 starts in March or April 2008.

    Yeah, don't ask.

    April 08. So I guess March would make sense.

    Edit:

    Amazon e-mail:

    EB Games also says March 3rd: http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1&product_id=646589
    Gamestop again with the March 3rd: http://www.gamestop.com/search.asp?Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&Ntt=spore&N=0&find.x=&find.y=&find=Search

    Supposedly somebody from EA 'estimated' it at Leipzig to Gamespot, so that's the official date right now.

    Europe seems to agree: http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/1102154/Spore/Product.html

    Edit 2:

    EA responds: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/679198/Spore_Dated_Available_for_PreOrder.html
