This morning developer DICE announced that Mirror's Edge will ship for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11. The PC version, as rumored, will not ship alongside it; it's said to ship "later in the winter," which translated likely means 2009.
If you're on the fence about the first-person action-adventure, no worries. A demo for the game will land on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network before the game's release. Additionally, starting on September 26, pre-ordering the game at "selected retailers" will get you a code that unlock's a Time Trial mode in the demo.
On staff we're divided about Mirror's Edge. Some aren't sold on the first-person parkour aspects, even though they've played the game and admit that it works better than they had expected. Others can't resist a sexy Asian free runner.
Which camp do you fall into?

The bummer is another potentially great game coming out within weeks of other big releases: Fallout 3, Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead..... where are we supposed to get the money from?
The end of October and the Beginning of November is going to be a very busy time of the year in the video game world. Little Big Planet, Fallout 3, Gear of War 2, and now Mirror's Edge. Where am I going to find the time to play all these games?
In before "RENT IT, FAGGET" these are games I'm definitely buying.
@Ali D
Even if you have the money, when are you going to even find the time to play them? :S
- Way too much hype
- Comic stuff attached to the game
- November release date
- Sexy male/female main character that does acrobatic moves
- Not much information on actual gameplay elements rather than focusing on how it looks and moves
Yeah that's Assassin's Creed right there!
CONFIRMED!
I'm on the "meh" camp. Seems gimmicky, but I'm gonna give it a chance.
I loved Assassin's Creed (yeah, I'm one of those people) so I'm definitely picking this up day one :)
I want to play this game. I dont know if i want to buy it. Hopefully there will be a pc demo too.
"We released the PC version after the console versions, so now people know if it's a good game or not, and those who were interested in playing it have already done so for the most part, and when we did release a version on the PC, it didn't sell so well, so obviously the pirates have beaten us again."
Just you watch.
