So reader SchizoSlayer drops us a line, and he says “Did you know that EA store is selling Spore for £40?” We didn’t, but it is. The same site is selling this same digital download for $50 in the US. And Amazon UK are selling it in a box, delivered through your door for £27.

Just sayin’.

Electronic-Arts, mysterious economics, Spore.
