A listing for a special collector's edition of EA Maxis' upcoming life simulator Spore has appeared on games retailer GameStop's website.

Dubbed the Spore Galactic Edition, the package includes a "Making of Spore" DVD, a "How to Build a Better Being" DVD created by the National Geographic Channel, a hardback Spore artbook and fold-out poster, and a 100-page Galactic Handbook in addition to the game itself.

The package is listed at a $79.99 price point, slated for release alongside its standard edition counterpart on September 7.

Unlike the recently released Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) limited edition, no mention of plans to sell the Galactic Edition exclusively at GameStop was made in the listing.

I am getting a "Black and White" vibe from this game. Sandbox + Creature Creator and the gameplay I've seen hasn't really been all that interesting. The concepts are cool - the premise of creating a creature and assisting it's evolution/growth into a civilization, but perhaps someone could fill me in on the gameplay goals? Links to a preview or a summary would be appreciated. All I've seen so far is some sandbox RTS city creation with tanks in combat and your little creature fighting bacteria on the cell level.

I wonder if Spore will end up being true to the original game design. The video I saw a year or two ago seemed very ambitious and interesting. *fingers crossed*

I find the idea of an art book for this game amusing since most of it is user-created or procedurally generated.

  You don't actually get the book, just the instructions to generate it yourself. : SiW73
