Just bought it from the European Spore store. Used a dummy UK address (doesn't allow AU as the Country) with PayPal as the purchase mechanism and then once on the PayPal site don't log in but choose to pay now via credit card. Then you can select an Australian address and card. Simple.

I’m not so sure i agree with everything said here. Sure, i was disappointed and frustrated to find out I could only download the free version, but I’m not going to go to a US or UK site to download the full one. Why? Because any rebate off the full costs of Spore is likely to require me strolling into EB in Pittsburgh or Bristol. I suspect the reason they haven’t done a deal like this here is 1) we’re too small to worry about it on day one, and 2) setting up a rebate scheme with a local retailer is taking a bit more time.

I’m not too concerned about the cost – you can claim back the cost of the creature creator when buying the full game. I’m willing to sit tight, albeit in a state of disappointment, for another few days while they flick through an Atlas to try and find us.

Thanks a lot EA, just like the other bloated bureaucratic companies, feel free to screw over OZland. Doesn't matter that the US economy is going to hell in a handbasket, they'll still charge us for their crap using exchange rates four years old.

As a sign of defiance I am no longer going to pay for the Creature Creator, no doubt there's plenty of torrents already. I might pay for the full game if EA stops being such a bunch of asswipes.

I think it's great that people are finding esoteric ways to download the full Creature Creator. The point here though is that you shouldn't have to.
