With today's XBLM release of the Mirror's Edge demo we've been hearing generally positive impressions from fanboys across the globe. Though, along with the praise, we've also been hearing a fair amount of whining in regards to the demo's Time Trial mode thanks to it kinda being unplayable. See, the crew over at EA locked the Mirror's Edge demo's Time Trial mode, making it available only to those who pre-ordered the game and received a code to unlock it. Tricky EA ... tricky.
But you'll be pleased to know that your fanboy whining hasn't gone unheard, because the EA crew just over 25 codes that'll unlock the demo's Time Trial mode. No pre-ordering necessary! So, we're giving away 25 codes to 25 random fanboys who enter this giveaway. If you win, you'll be emailed a code to unlock the Mirror's Edge demo's Time Trial mode and be able to compare your speedy messenger moves to other Live gamers thanks to the mode's leaderboard. This giveaway wraps up Saturday afternoon, so get your entry in NOW!
