Spore - Who is getting it?

[The_Doctor]

Something else I've wondered about... given the HUGE scope of the game, they haven't exactly left themselves much room for an expansion pack

The Sims 2 has 18 expansion packs/add-ons, imagine what they could do with Spore.

A sandbox game can't be very successful if the beginning is fun, and the end-game isn't.

Its not a sand box game, its a very thin line of sand game.

I had no idea about copy protection used in Spore, read about it here first, and then checked around.......now I'm too turned off to buy it, which is a pity as I really wanted to try this game.

Edit : My thanks to Rythmic and Caius for the info.
