What the heck? Apparantly DotD comes out in five days..but I saw it in the stores today! oO; It wasn't in England though, because I live in Belgium, a lot of games come in Dutch, French, etc. So I'll still have to wait until I go over to UK to get it..or until Christmas..but I don't get it, the game's not meant to be out yet! o.O

Even if they dont, Sierra plans to make more Spyro games.
