The spore chess set, only $1584 !

Hold on. Let me cue up "Weird science"

The spore chess set, only $1584 !

Oh. You're going to use math on me. How low can a guy go

I think that the price, though not impulse-buy worthy, is pretty fair.

It's an awesome thing to be able to do.

The sculpture thing is new, but you've always been able to get t-shirts, beer mugs, etc. with your creature on them through Zazzle. I bought some myself before the game even went live, using the Creature Creator.

Maxis has claimed all along that Spore isn't all about the game per se, but is a three-legged creature aimed at letting the customer mess with only the part that interests him/her. Supposedly sophisticated gamers tend to pooh-pooh that claim and bash Maxis for being a bunch of dumbshits who are simply trying to cover up after the fact for making a lousy game. But the dumbshits are them. The big picture tells a different story. In this case, it IS all about the money, and the money has been pouring in to those guys from product tie-ins from the very beginning.

This almost makes Spore worth buying. I could build my own chess set, make toys for my kids that would have my wife howling for blood, and the gag gifts....omg!

I don't have Spore or intend to get it (for various reasons most people are sick of hearing ) but this seems kind of cool and not unreasonably priced considering it's customized to each creation.

50 bucks? Oy.

WoW 3D prints of your characters cost more than $100, this seems pretty reasonable for entirely customized 3D prints.

Pen0r sculptures?

sculptures up to 4" tall.... ... .... ... ... let's call this one Bob.

I'd create a cow-like creature to sculpt for EA.. in case they need something new to milk.

Well, heck, I could get 1 2/3 Spore expansion packs for that. Creepy parts, cute parts, green parts, red fish, blue fish.

50 bucks? Oy.

Now that's funny.
