Are you getting Spore?

yes, probably. I won't buy the desktop version because of the ridiculous DRM, but I'll probably buy the iphone version.
Depending on price, complexity, and how it compares to the DS version, I probably will seriously consider getting it.
I really havent bought many apps, Dizzy Bee, Ambiance, Koi Pond, MobileChat. I do want a good game, so Ill probably buy it, I think I can justify spending the money since I really havent been spending anything.
Though I have track record of buying games and then playing them only for a few days then never touching them again, I guess I will likely do the same with Spore. It may or may not be the one that changes it. Besides, $10 isn't bad at all.
I'll wait for some reviews to come in first.
It looks like it's an accelerometer-based game, like Monkey Ball, and I wouldn't want to spend $10 (or however much it will cost) on it if there were problems with that.
Also, I'm wondering how far up the levels go. I think I read that it will have 35 levels which is probably enough for the Spores to go from water to land but not enough for them to go from land to space. I wonder if at the top levels you'll be able to control groups of spores.

Isn't the iPhone version basically the 1st stage of the desktop version .... just swimming around the pond eating stuff ... has a basic creature creator .... i think its gonna play a lot like Flow (PS3).... if thats all it is then its gonna get boring quick cos the desktop version is a pretty shallow portion of the game and isn't exactly challenging.

Same here. 80+ apps, but the only ones I ever play are Galcon and Enigmo. And I'll buy Spore, if it's $10 or less.

I've not bought any iPt apps yet, but Spore is pretty likely. I'll wait for the reviews, but as long as they're decent I'll check it out. I need to get Enimgo, too. I think I actually have a license for the Mac version from a MacHeist bundle, but I (almost) never have time to play games anymore (at my computer or a console) so the iPod version would be nice - can play it when I'm "stuck" somewhere (airports, at the inlaws, lunchtime at work, etc).
I've heard so many good things about Galcon, as well. I suppose that's like $27 worth of games... I should probably bargain hunt for a $25+ iTunes gift card on eBay or something.

Yes, in case people starting getting confused or disappointed, the iPhone version is NOT the full Spore game, it is Spore Origins which is the mobile phone version consisting of just the primordial pool levels.
Also, just because the developers said it's going to be released on the 7th, doesn't mean we are going to actually see it in the App store (it still has to go through that same waiting period as all apps do.) The same thing happened with Asphalt; a date was announced but it wasn't actually in the app store for another week or two...
Still, that being all said, I'm definitely going to buy it!
I wonder if EA has more privileges than normal developers when it comes to setting the date that apps appear in the app store.
EA had the working game on ipod touches at Quakecon 2008 in Aug. I played for a good 10 mins, its not too bad. I think it would get boring after a while but the graphics are nice. Not sure if it would be worth $10.00 unless they are to add more to it.
It is a hybrid DVD yes.
I'd just like to chip in and say, it's awesome
Anyone finding the tribe stage a bit difficult though? Could just be the arrangement of the controls for laptops, but it's damn difficult to get my guys to do something/go somewhere/attack etc
EDIT: Runs like a dream on my MBP 2.5ghz, 2GB RAM, 512MB 8600M
Also, it's been ported using Cider, which I thought was a bit cheap, no wonder the system requirements are so high for mac...
*sigh* I'll probably get it for my birthday... which is at the end of the month.
Is anyone else kind of disappointed the creature creator is the demo? I want to play the actual game!

Picked up the full version today morning and will see if the 1st stage is addictive enough to get Origins
