Thank you for your recent pre-order purchase of Spore from EA Store.
As you are probably aware, Spore is due to be released at 00.00 GMT on the 5th September.
However, we’ve just made it easier for you to get in the game faster by making Spore available to pre-load from the 28th August!
What does this mean?
At 18.00 GMT 28th August, you will see Spore in your EA Download Manager. At this point you will be able to download 99% of the game to your computer, with the remaining part of the game to be downloaded upon release a week later. At the time of release on the 5th September – it should then only take around 30 minutes for you to complete the install, and begin conquering galaxies in Spore before anyone else!
You should also note that you will also be charged for the game on the 28th August, and your statements will reflect this.
To see the further details about pre-loading, please take a look at the pre-loading FAQ’s by clicking on the link below. Alternatively, please contact Customer Services for more information.
