How to get Mirror's Edge for FREE (or close to it)
thebza \| 9:44 PM on 11.12.2008	13 comments

so today i picked up my copy of Mirror's Edge from the evil GamePlop, only reason being they were giving out the free yellow runner's bag as used by faith, the game's main character.

well it most definitely was one of the coolest game freebies i've ever seen, the quality is evident as it seems surprisingly well made, but i immediately thought, 'what the hell am i going to do with this?'. first off it's a courier bag that's meant to be worn over the shoulder, aka a man purse. b), it's yellow. and fourthly, maybe i could sport it if my style was a lame faux hawk hairdo while wearing an xtra medium t-shirt 2 sizes too small and my sister's jeans, but i don't roll like that. plus i just have too much shit in my tiny one bedroom apartment at the beach and my significant other... she would prefer i didn't collect EVEN MORE useless shit. so i threw it up on ebay about 5 hours ago...

and with 6 1/2 days left on the auction block it's already fetching over $30... if i can hit the sweet $65 mark i made my money back and got a free Mirror's Edge, and anything over that is just bonus!

so if you can part with your precious game swag you too can get a FREE Mirror's Edge (as long as you preordered it from GamePlop, that is)!

Yeah I thought the bag looked great

But i would not suit me at all so I didn't bother.

What is it with bags and pre-orders these days? Far Cry 2, Mirror's Edge, even Tomb Raider now have bags that come with the game. And there are more that I can't think of at the moment. I've got nothing against bags, but jesus.

It sounds like it would go perfectly with my windbreaker jumpsuit.

I love messenger and dj/record bags. I actually pre-ordered ME for the bag.

God. Damn. It. I preordered this game from EB Games and when I go into the store they tell me they haven't gotten the bags in yet. Like, what the fuck? Then I over heard an employee say that they still had a ton of boxes in the back that they hadn't opened yet. Sooo, I'm hoping that by tomorrow they'll have all of the boxes undone and in one of the boxes will be the bags.

On that note, does anyone know how many bags each store gets? I'm number eleventh on the list so my chances are even slimmer if they do have the bags. I want this thing horrendously bad. :(

@Thebza

I have no paypal/way of paying for it at the moment, otherwise I most likely would. D:
