This thread was originally just one video, but since it has grown quite a bit (thanks to everyone for adding stuff) I've decided to try and organise it into a resource for all things Spore.
I will try to find dates for all the media, length for all videos, and any other useful information about the stuff on here.
Please keep adding new stuff you find, and enjoy
PS Is there a way to put images in code boxes, that would be really useful for this thread.
OBese's PC Release Date Prediction: Autumn 2008
Maybe I should be more optimistic, but so many dates have been thrown around. What ARE they working on? There seems to be very little progress from conference to conference. As long as it is complete, I don't mind waiting a little longer.

OBese's Review: There isn't a lot happening on the Spore site at the moment; there's a nice cartoon animation depicting the cycle of the game, a brief summary of the stages of evolution and a small collection of videos and screenshots. And that really is all!
2.11.2007 - I'm starting to think EA have abandoned this site as there hasn't been any progress for a long time."

OBese's Review: This is a German site, but don't let that put you off if you can't speak the language. This is a good looking site that has a lot of images I've never seen before, including some nice concept art. It's not just images though, there are some videos and news articles too. I haven't had a proper look at the videos yet but the streaming from fora.tv is pretty bad."

OBese's Review: I haven't had the chance to get a good look at it yet, but this looks like a very good site. Spore Site has it's own integrated video player with lots of videos. They don't seem to have written much themselves, but there are links to news articles by other websites."
