I like that yellow bag.

Will be renting this game for sure. I'm not one for replaying games and it's hella short.

Nice thread. Had very little interest in this game prior to the demo but after playing it I'm considering buying it. Looking forward to the reviews.

Nice OP.

Can't wait for this game.

Slick thread.

I'll probably preorder the PS3 version and pick it up but shelf it for a little while until I've played Gears 2 enough and want a break. I had a fucking blast with the demo.

Oh my god, I can't wait for this game. After playing the demo, if I could only play one game this holiday, Mirror's Edge would be it.

Wow, i might actually attempt to get all the trophies on this, a first for me. They're achievable enough and I think I'd enjoy going back and trying to get 'em all.

I just preordered from EB today (PS3). Didn't get a time trial code, so would love it if someone has an extra!

Does anyone know if that bag will be available in Canada? The store was pretty busy and I forgot to ask.

I really loved the demo of this. I'll definitely pick this up at some point, although I may not have the cash to get it day 1.

Man, I wish the US pre-order bonus was that shirt

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
why are there only medium and large sized shirts available?

Amazing demo. The feeling of presence in this game is absolutely great.

Also nice to see what Dice can do beside Codename Eagle derivatives.

Having played the demo I'm now really excited about this game. The crappy flash animation cutscenes still seem like a totally bizarre decision though, given how awesome the visual style is in engine.

(Note to SEGA - This is what a 3D Sonic should be like, please feel free to shamelessly rip it off)
 
If the bag was made out of real fabric rather than plastic, I'd preorder it from Gamestop...but it's a cheap P.O.S. UK's exclusive is better. As you can see from the photo, Faith's bag is clearly canvas.

(Note to SEGA - This is what a 3D Sonic should be like, please feel free to shamelessly rip it off)

Sonic is third person, a first-person Sonic would make anyone barf. Also, no Sonic in my dystopian regime, kthxbai.

Obviously not everyone was in agreement with your agreement.

Just post it here anyway - we'll judge the winner and declare the loser a loser.

Demo was fun, but they really shot themselves in the foot with that terrible box art. I hope they have a good marketing campaign, because that box sure as hell not going to help sell the game to people who don't know much about it.
