Australia the ONLY country to not get Spore's Creature Creator?

Gothic Girl | June 20, 2008 | News | PC Wii

Bad news for Australian gamers who want to have fun with Spore's creature creator ... You're living in the only country that will not be getting it.
So if you're an Aussie who wants to buy the Creature Creator, you'll have to go to the New Zealand EA store instead.

Okay, so let me get this straight. If I go to the Australian EA Store, the Spore Creature Creator is unavailable. However, if I jump across to the New Zealand version, I can download it for $NZ 14.99. I can even select "Australia" as my location in the checkout section.

Okay, great, we can get the full program now, but why do we need to hit up the NZ store for it? If Australia's there as an option, why not just put it on the Australian store?

Well Aussies sometimes get games before us, it is only fair.

And paying double for a majority of games and consoles is also fair on Aussies I suppose?

We pay double for games, usually have to wait months longer for games, and sometimes completely miss out on games or get them cencored.

On rare ocassions we might get a game a few days before America.

Hardly fair at all, I'd say.
