Mirror's Edge: demo and trailer arrive today

Mirrors Edge: demo and trailer arrive today

As reported on GameGrep, a demo for Mirror's Edge is out today on the PlayStation Network, and tomorrow on Xbox Live. How many Xbox owners are going to scrap Halloween this year, I wonder? Lucky you guys, anyway; as a primarily PC gamer for the moment, folks like me will have to wait until January 6th for our copy (according to GameStop anyway).

Also, about the DRM for the game (if there is any, but it's EA so I'm assuming), rumour has it there will be something different in tow, if Blue's News reader DangerDog is to be believed: "New and improved form of DRM, if you fall off a building in the game it'll format your hard drive." Mostly_Harmless has their own theories: "The PC delay is due to manufacturing problems with the microscopic tactical thermonuclear device that will be fitted in every DVD case for the game, EA can't work out how to detonate it if someone tries to install the game more than three times." Maybe they are gettingtoo strict...

Anyhow, with the demo comes a demo trailer, which features a new character. This one is full of itself, but who can blame it?
