EA boss John Riccitiello has confirmed that Spore will be released by the end of the year, but wouldn't list an exact date.

Yes.

I wish retailers like play.com didn't make the dates up. They've currently got it due for release on 7th March 2008

I've been patiently waiting for this game since the first release date.

They've been through what? 3 delays now?

Oh well, at least I'll have my new computer by then.

Well Will Wright did imply it would be 'around' that time: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/24/wi...ix-months-out/

Anyway, fantastically awesome news. I'm really really looking forward to spore

When has "Out in time for the holidays." ever meant Arbor day? (or easter, or thanksgiving, or boxers, etc) It always means Christmas.

All I know is I'll be waiting for it, hopefully it will be out after school lets out for the semester so I wont get sucked into it during finals.

Maybe in America but it doesn't here. Saying "it'll be out for the holidays" to a brit is about as helpful as saying, it will be out at some point this year.

Seeing as this is coming from a US developer though it's safe to assume they mean Christmas.

Can't wait

Xmas 08 is way too far away though

I'd say that the delay has been because evolution isn't real so they have to make it up - using intelligent design

Welcome to the forums

Sadly you are right about what it seems to mean in the USA but, like Veles, I'd like to see a more meaningful date. "Holidays" could mean more than one holiday to me also. If they mean by Christmas then they should say by Christmas or "the end of the year" or USA's Thanksgiving or ...
