I hate to share this info with you guys, but now that I’ve had a headstart…

Long story short: With barely the hint of irony Google Earth has partnered with EA and Parker Bros Hasbro to release Monopoly City Streets, a version of the classic board game where every street in the world is for sale. The launch brought even these giants to their knees when over 1.7 million mini-Trumps attempted to access the game in the first day and overloaded the game’s servers, with many of those rapidly “mashing F5″ in a desperate effort to buy the most prime real estate.

So act now if you want to claim your turf…in the meantime, prepare to spend the next few days cursing a computer screen, secure in the knowledge that Barton Hills is mine!
