Sins of a Solar Empire on the Today Show

External Link
December 8, 2008 3:43:34 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

The Today Show on NBC had a feature today of the top 15 “tech toys” for the holiday season, and Sins of a Solar Empire was a pick!

”More “serious” gamers looking for a bit of intergalactic gaming should look at Sins of a Solar Empire (Stardock $29.99). This game is like playing chess on the scale of “Star Wars” or “Star Trek.” Huge armadas of spaceships vie for control over vast galactic distances.”

Cool that Sins showed up on the Today show.  All 3 1/2 seconds of the presentation.  Too bad it had to share the spotlight with "Bore."  (AKA "Spore")

Good stuff! Congrats guys! I was hoping Sins would have made the NYT list this year but sadly it did not. This is just as good however.

I wonder...is the game still on many store's shelves?  I'm sure Best Buy and Circuit City would have it, but what about other stores like Walmart and Meijer (upper midwest superstore)?

Seconded. How could he advertise spore and skp over Sins? Peh. Well at least he mentioned it... But man, that was just skimmed over, it deserved more attention!

Spore has more $$$ to line his pockets???

If he is anything like some of the TV tech experts in Australia, he was told what to say by other people prior to going on....

I haven't seen it at any local Meijers lately.  Last one I saw there was the one I bought back in mid-March at the one at Maple Road and Haggerty.  Haven't seen any for months at Wixom & Grand River...a mere 7 miles from Stardock's offices...  Meijer isn't exactly a PC game retailer (it's laughable) but it is a grocery superstore that carries most high profile games (but I never saw UT3 for PC there for some reason).

I find it a little irksome since the game deserves to be on that store's shelves and people can't buy it or some people at least won't find out about if it isn't on store shelves.

I know this is a little off topic. however does anyone know WHEN ENTRECHMENT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO COME OUT!!!!!! Even info on the beta would be nice. I have spent the last month banging my head waiting for any news about it. To make it worse i get more info from IGN than stardock. well anyway sorry to subject all of you to my rant but waiting this long with no news is getting frustrating.
