I'm picking it up, if only to see how it worked out because we have to consider that this is something pretty unique, even if it doesn't achieve what everyone was hoping for. I don't really get the whole hardcore vs. casual war because I enjoy a good game, above all.
There are great games on both side of this pseudo-war and it makes no sense to keep arguing about it. Spore might be uber-hyped, but I guess part of it is just for the fact that it's trying to do something that hasn't been done before, it is mixing a variety of gameplay styles into something unique, that might appeal to a lot to people who don't usually play games and that is a positive after all.
I'm very curious about it, anyway.

Kind of leaves a different impression of Spore than I've heretofore gotten, actually.

There was time, like most people here, when I was very excited for this game. But now, it just seems so boring and simple :\ It just feels like some of the "magic" from the early builds of the game is gone.

Guys, is it just me or is there actual tearing and stuttering in that video when they are rotating around the planet? I assume thats part of the video cause it only happens at certain times, you'd think they would put it on a beefier machine for a video they show to the world.
