GameStop and Amazon Claim PC Mirror's Edge Slipping into 2009

Allow us to paint you a picture: It's non-denominational politically correct holiday morning. You burst free from beneath your covers, quivering from a mix of the wintery chill meandering through your room and sheer, unbridled excitement. With each successive footfall, your speed builds; the world around you is a blur. Chairs, tables, and boxes impede your path, but it's no matter -- you've been practicing. Bathed in the glow of your fireplace, you shatter the brightly colored paper that encases your gift.

However, within the box's ruins, you find only a small scrap of paper. Obviously composed by your parents, it tells you to check Maximum PC for the sad truth that sullied what should've been your finest day. According to your parents' note, the MPC post is dated 9/16/08.

After hurriedly booting up your PC and searching the article, your eyes shift immediately to a bolded bit of text near the middle of the page. "GameStop's website now lists Mirror's Edge PC's release date as January 6, 2009," it reads. "Additionally, Amazon users who preordered the title have also been notified that the game will be launching on that day."

Disheartened, but willing to wait, you decide to read the rest of the article to pass the time. But the article -- its contents -- seem a little too accurate, you soon realize as your eyes grow wide.

We know everything about you, unsuspecting reader from Applewood, Colorado. Your past, future, and present are an open book -- a brittle-paged tome for our amusement. You can't escape; we will always know where you are.

So, lunch tomorrow?

Shucks. I'm really looking forward to playing this; I got a brief hands-on at Comic-con and it was loads of fun.

avatarYou forgot to mention that

@TheZomb ~ You forgot to mention that they (console games) are also far more limited in their maximum capabilities since they have a much lower ceiling on what they can all put into a game. Thus preventing companies from to much one uping each other as much. You can also edit parts of pc games more easily making them more enjoyable.

They also require you to purchase a worthless console when instead you could buy a computer for a higher cost but be able to do an endless amount of stuff that your console can not do unless you do some hacking to it.

avatarIs there an actual reason

Is there an actual reason why the PC versions of games usually come out long after the console version has been released?

Microsoft and Sony are both trying to encourage counsel gaming because they sell more copies, their harder to pirate and easier for simpletons to use.
