Mirror's Edge Leaps Into Stores November 11, Demo Before Launch; PC Version Arriving Later
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 18, 2008 5:59am PDTThe Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of EA DICE's first-person action adventure game Mirror's Edge will ship November 11, publisher Electronic Arts announced today.
"We wanted to create an entirely new experience, with a different type of heroine and a world that not only looks fresh and new but has unique gameplay," senior producer Owen O'Brien said of the company's parkour-influenced game.
EA also announced that a demo will be released through the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store before the game ships. It will feature a tutorial and an early segment of the single-player story mode. Additionally, people who pre-order the game starting September 26 will receive a code that unlocks a Time Trial mode in the demo.
As mentioned here previously and reiterated by EA in today's announcement, the PC version of the game ships later this winter.

I'll wait for the PS3 demo at least. I'm wary of anything on consoles involving first person perspective (gotta have the mouse and keyboard).

It feels disgusting to have to stand up for EA, but I understand their position perfectly. They want to get money for the game they made, so they release it on the platforms with less piracy first, and then release it on the PC later. Fine by me, as long as we don't have the equivalent of the 'Snape kills Dumbledore' incident every time. Mirror's Edge especially is less about story than about gameplay, so even that wouldn't be too much of a bother.
