For those looking for a ~$25 price point and aren't concerned about DLC, dvd.co.uk and thehut.com are selling the 360 and PS3 versions of Mirror's Edge for about $25 USD, including shipping to the United States. I can't speak for dvd.co.uk, but I've used thehut.com for Ratchet ToD and Uncharted...

about 1.30AM EST on Sunday

woohoo! VC + SAVER just got shipped. best of luck to everyone w/ the canceled orders, hope you still manage to snag a copy of VC if you wanted it!

for what it's worth, my VC order w/ SAVER coupon has not been canceled, *yet*. don't know if that means they haven't gotten to it, or whether it's kosher. unfortunately, still listed as "open"

yeah, unfortunately, I placed my order for VC alone at about 1am EST sunday morning,with only the SAVER coupon for free shipping, but the order is still "open" and "pending" =(

i guess this means that demand for VC outstripped GS's stockpile? usually game days sales are set up so as to clear GS' stock, stuff that doesn't normally sell well, right? kind of ironic that VC is now backordered. like i said earlier, i wonder what GS' rationale behind placing VC on sale was.

so Valkyria Chronicles is STILL in stock online too? wow, so exactly how many copies are Gamestop sitting on? I thought VC was close to sold out in North America before this sale. Guess Gamestop ordered a lot, thinking this would be huge? like people were saying, some were snapping up VC for...

just to inform, I submitted my $2 check and form about 2 - 3 weeks ago, and just got my card! I'm surprised that I got it, to tell the truth.

Yeah, unfortunately I have the 80GB ps3, backwards compatibility isn't as good as the 60GB version =(

I was going off the http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus website, which says that for the 80GB backwards compatible model, DDR X (the only ps2/ps3 option on the subway coupon), has syncing issues. If that's the case, then boo.

Thanks for the scan and the info, Donut! Unfortunately, looks like the PS2 DDR X game has some issues when run on a PS3. Does anyone else know anything about this, sound and graphics being out of sync, etc?

Did you buy the coupon separately, or was it part of a kid's meal? Also, would you know if the coupon can be used on bestbuy.com, or is it usable in actual stores? Thanks!

Price tracker seems a little delayed? Eg, it currently lists Mirror's Edge (PS3) for 15.73 GBP, but that's the price from a few weeks ago. TheHut.com currently lists Mirror's Edge at 17.73 GBP, which is 2 GBP more than price tracker. Still some good deals, but price tracker is not quite up to date.

isn't it more than a bit ironic that Killzone 2 (unfortunately) doesn't have co-op? =)

C'mon, no need to mention "Vietnamese," surely.
