It seems that Electronic Arts has found a new trick to make itself some extra cash -- ridiculously expensive special editions. Just yesterday we talked about the $150 limited edition Dead Space package, and now we get to look at the "Runner's Bag" bundle for Mirror's Edge. It's slightly less expensive than the Dead Space offer, but only slightly less at $130.
Get your limited edition Mirror's Edge Runner's Bag bundle! With an exclusive Mirror's Edge bag from Timbuk2 and a copy of the Mirror's Edge game, you can keep your documents safe as you find the fastest routes from the rooftops to the streets. Only a small quantity of these bags have been made to commemorate the launch of Mirror's Edge, so get your bag before they are all gone!
handmade in San Francisco by Timbuk2 made of heavy duty ballistic fabric fits all the items your clients in The City need safely delivered
$130 for a bag? Seriously? A bag that you can use to vaguely pretend you're a videogame character? Seriously!? That's basically $70 for a bag, but I guess that's nothing compared to how much some people will pay for the bloody things.
Still, there's no way I'm personally dropping that much for a glorified purse. What about you guys?

Still, I think Mirror's Edge is a one-trick pony. I would enjoy the bag more than the game. *shrugs*
Yeah, I remember a time where you looked for game swag after you played it. Crazy kids nowadays, buy the stuff according to perceived potential of a title. This is just wrong.
Not the shit I deliver.
Also, my blog tells of a good deal at GAME in the UK.... Check me out. It's better than this deal. I wrote the blog. It's in the UK. You get a very nice T-shirt. I hate my job.
Hell, I've spent more than £50 on a bag before.
God forbid real get some licensed tie-in merchandise that is actually the quality of a normal product. Also, it's not like there's other stuff in the bundle that you feel bad about missing, so if you don't want to bag, you simply don't have to buy it.
That being said, I already have a messenger bag I'm using that fits my 17" MacBook Pro, this one doesn't look like the one in-game, and even if I needed a bag, I don't like that they printed that image of Faith on the inside. Stick with the small yellow pre-order bag you get for free at Gamestop if you want something to remember the game by.
