Well of course you are, and I plan to also. But why wait? 
Pragmatism and morality- I frown upon this sort of Piracy, I can lose my internet rights at my school for using torrents, and it would take so long to download that I might as well wait for the Galactic Edition to arrive in the mail.

With the draconian activation schemes Spore will have, I also wouldnt want to risk it at all.

Not according to this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/105-9389864-2225224?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=spore
If you're lucky you can get the Amazon Prime trial (fast shipping). I've had to wait over 6 months for a backorder before, so I use Amazon only for the rare books.
I can get groceries within blocks of several stores that should be carrying Spore on Sunday, so one trip and Nirvana.

I wonder if any of the 24-hours stores like Wal-Mart will set it out shortly after midnight tonight? (North America here; launch date is tomorrow.) Or if any of the game stores will stay open. How big is Spore? Is there a late night launch anywhere?
I don't want to download the game, mostly due to DRM concerns, but perhaps the DVD's aren't much different with DRM these days.

There aren't any advertising in my area. Walmart looks like the only way to get it early in the morning before the other box stores conventionally open at 11am.
The DRM sucks in any form for this game, but I have just enough problems with digital downloads that I'm avoiding it in the future.

Well, the Fry's near me is opening pretty early tomorrow and they'll have it out immediately. I dont think there will be too many places that have a midnight opening though.
croxis mentioned that the Gamestop (or EB games, i forget what exactly it was) from which he preordered will likely have a midnight opening. SO it all really depends on the store itself. I doubt it would be beneficial for large stores to oepn early to sell a single game because thats not very cost effective. On the other hand,s mall gaming store will probably benefit more from an early opening.

I stopped at a 24-hour Wal-Mart and wandered to the electronics section. They have Spore in a locked display case with a sign that they'll sell it on 9/7. I asked if that meant midnight or 10am or what; the employee said midnight but didn't seem very convincing; I think she was just trying to get rid of me. But I'll go back after midnight and try to buy a copy.
I was at Fry's earlier today, and they had a demo machine running it plus some $5 copies of creature creator and some sort of $5 pre-purchase that didn't specify the final price. I didn't really check into it as it doesn't seem like this game is going to be scarce at all. But of course you had to come back on 9/7 to finish buying it.

I went to a different Wal-Mart shortly before midnight (GMT-500). They didn't have it out but brought it out a minute or two after midnight. There were about 4 other people waiting around for it.
Well, there goes the rest of my weekend...
