Today it was revealed on GameStop, that Spore will be getting a Galactic Edition. “What’s the difference?” you ask. Well aside from the $80 price, gamers will be treated to a “Making of” DVD, a DVD from the National Geographic Channel titled “How to Build a Better Being”, a mini art book, a poster and finally a 100-page “Galactic Handbook”.
Quite the collection for $30 more. If I was super excited about Spore, I’d get this in a heart beat, but I’m not. In all reality, I’ll probably get roped into buying this. It comes out just in time for my girlfriend’s birthday… and she loves Will Wright games.

In an interview with The Guardian, Sims and Spore creator Will Wright expresses some surprising opinions about the next-generation consoles.

The only next gen system I’ve seen is the Wii – the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement. But the Wii feels like a major jump – not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic. In some sense I see the Wii as the most significant thing that’s happened, at least on the console side, in quite a while. Continued…
