This video has moved! Try our new Destructoid HD video section

No, not a typo. We have EIGHTY copies to give way. Want one? We'll show you how. But first, check out this Destructoid Exclusive: A gritty real-life promotional video for Mirror's Edge shot by professional roof jumpers. Don't try this at home without life insurance and 60-foot cable rigs dangling from ATV's, kids!

In Mirror's Edge, couriers called Runners take the fastest routes through the city that keep them off the radar.  If they need to drop or pick up anything, they look for the mark of the Runner, which marks a stash point. And what better items to find in a stash point than a free copy of Mirror's Edge?  Check out the contest page to find out how to win one.

Stash Point locations - LATEST UPDATE: 12/11 - 1:57 PM EST

HINTS! HINTS! HINTS!  See where the last stash points are hidden, including photos! The contest ends this Friday at midnight, so don't delay!

Too bad UO is down in Eugene. I used to walk right through the campus when I was working at GG down there.

I assume that by University of Illinois they mean the Urbana location, not Chicago (which is where I am).

if virginia tech wasn't 3 hours away, I'd give it a shot.
so maybe CNU should be involved.

There had to be a better way. Well, only an hour and a half drive. And a monstrosity of a campus. Oh well, better luck next time.

Yeah, just to clarify, is is the Urbana location or Chicago location for University of Illinois?

Boo I'm no longer at Penn State main although that's a damn large campus for stashing something. Hell, I imagine they all are. Let the fun begin.

@The-Excel -- Its not the copies, its the mark you're looking for -- the games get shipped after you find it!!!

Oh man. I'm awfully close to the U of Iowa one,], and last time I checked there were basically no Dtoiders in this area. Definitely a possibility if I get to Iowa City this weekend.

Also, it's THE Ohio State University. I don't actually give a fuck, that's just what everyone in Ohio says. I'm too lazy to actually do this, because it's an hour away.

The only participating California College is USC, where you have to be rich to go to and could afford to buy mirrors edge.

Too bad there isn't jack shit around me. I thought I might have a chance at winning something when 80 copies of a game are up for grabs, but alas I don't live in a major college city. Balls.

I'm assuming it's going to be the symbol like in the game.

... So is this going on now? Because I swear if it is when I get off work I'm driving to chapel hill with a flash light and a camera and gonna probably get booted off campus by security for looking like I'm breaking and entering.

Lol Virginia Tech. At least it's a game where you are not supposed to shoot anyone.
