Add both to the cart and the price of the game guide will be deduct at checkout. The game is listed as $44, but when I try to check ou, it deducts an additional $2.20 for "Best Value Savings" whatever that means. I'm not sure if that $2.20 is for everyone or not, hence the YMMV.

You my want to research product before you buy.....currently a Class Action Lawsuit against the makers Law Suit in reference to the limited installs you are allowed and the SecuROM that is installed
I do love how this game's DRM has backfired in a huge way and lead it to become the most pirated game in history. Sweet sweet irony.
I heard this got some bad reviews on Amazon...
DANGER: This game installs a Root Kit. This is a very dangerous virus that strips your computer of privileges and gives them to E. A. Thus the class action.
30% of the time the game will not even install with only the solution being to download a pirate copy of one of the files. Then there is the fact that it will only install three times. You have problems and oft times have to use two to get it working the first time. Your HD crashes and you may not be able to reinstall it.
I hate to say it but even if you pay for the game you may still need to pirate it to use what you bought. In this case it would be far smarter to buy the game but install a Pirate copy.
See Sued, Root Kit but Fun to play
This is a damn shame what E.A. did... I don't know why they just didn't do what Steam does for activation... granted nobody likes Steam, but let's face it, software makers need gamers to actually BUY the game so some form of copy protection is required...
Poor Will... spent all this time on this great game, only to have it all come crashing down for something he likely had no control over. I'm interested to see what Sims 3 does for copy protection and if they have learned something from the Spore debaucle.
That said, I want Spore, but seeing how I'm just now replacing my hard drive after a failure I'm glad I haven't purchased it yet, seeing how I would only have one more installation left. (1 pre failure, 1 post failure, ie 1 left)
A deal only if it's the Galactic Edition!

Calling it a Very Dangerous Virus might be a strech though.
