Today we received boxed retail copies of Mirror's Edge in the office. Our full review of the game is embargoed for a couple weeks, but that didn't stop us from rifling through the included manual and an interesting sell sheet. Said sheet has an ad for Need for Speed Undercover on one side, and Skate 2 on the other. In the bottom-left corner of the Skate 2 ad is a little tag that not so subtly says "In Stores January 2009". It doesn't get any more official than that.
We talked to EA about the matter, and the timing is indeed set, though we don't have a specific date as of yet. But at least we now know we'll be revisiting San Vanelona in less than 90 days.
