Mirror's Edge Time Trial DLC delayed to February; PS3 exclusive map on 1/29

The upcoming time trial DLC pack for Mirror's Edge was originally scheduled for release tomorrow. However, Big Download reports that these additional races will come in February. The delay should give fans a bit more time to practice their skills -- the DLC adds new Trophies that only the most hardcore players will be able to achieve. (At the time of writing, we haven't seen if the 360 version will get new Achievements as well.)
While the premium maps won't be available until next month, PS3 owners will still be able to download a system-exclusive map on the PlayStation Store tomorrow. "Synethesia" will be free to all owners of the PS3 version of Mirror's Edge. A trailer can be seen after the break.

Looks fun but all these cost money don't they?
mynk @ Jan 28th 2009 8:29PM
now this makes my comment look bad :(
lee @ Jan 28th 2009 9:26PM
ps3 exclusive ones are free
Premature ejaculation man @ Jan 28th 2009 9:31PM
Damn I am envious. Any kind of DLC on xbox, especially exclusive would never be free ;_;
Xa31nov1s @ Jan 28th 2009 8:29PM
Exclusive DLC on the PS3.
Wait, what?
Maverick Saturn @ Jan 28th 2009 9:03PM
You don't need to be a bioterrorist to think you're an idiot FFXIIIAsshatVesper, anyone can see that with the retarded comments you come up with :)
Shmil @ Jan 28th 2009 9:36PM
The jobstaxi.com guy was less annoying than you Sprinkles.
Give. It. Up.
Autopsy15 @ Jan 28th 2009 9:39PM
I have a feeling that Sprinkles is back......fffffuck.
Longhorn4Life @ Jan 28th 2009 9:48PM
something tells me your not sprinkles and your just mocking him mhmm
Shmil @ Jan 28th 2009 9:58PM
You're right, it is not Sprinkles. Sprinkles would've set the profile to private. Nonetheless, it is still a troll imitating a troll. Bah.
MEATLOAF2 @ Jan 29th 2009 12:39AM
if only lionbacker was here to facepencil this guy as well, oh well
fred @ Jan 29th 2009 12:42AM
Don't worry fake asshat, I appreciate you.
:]
IcedOmega13 @ Jan 29th 2009 1:50AM
for real. might as well be an oxymoron.
Trev @ Jan 29th 2009 10:28AM
Well I had a chuckle at that.
mynk @ Jan 28th 2009 8:28PM
-no comments above me-
man, the new ultrastiq is making people scared to comment
but anyways, i must say as an 360 owner, i envy my fellow sony gamers for this free exclusive dlc. i hope i get to check it out at my friend's house.
does this comment show up on X3F and PS3 Fanboy too? im scared now :S
Lars @ Jan 29th 2009 12:58PM
Well, hey cheer up! For every exclusive-by-choice on the PS3 there are 10 bribed-for-exclusives on 360. LOL
Hmm, I think I'm gonna have to buy Mirror's Edge today.
Regarding the comments, I know I'm not as inclined to visit the site as much anymore since the redesign... dunno why exactly. I've been visiting 1up and IGN more often for news now. Guess I just don't like the redesign.
bboston7 @ Jan 29th 2009 5:03PM
Yeah, it shows up on ps3 fanboy too.
StrangeBum @ Jan 28th 2009 8:30PM
Damn, these look like they would be a lot of fun to go through. And I do kinda dig the explanation as being a dream world. Very much reminds me of some levels in a certain Nintendo platformer though...what was that game again? Oh yeah, Luigi's Mansion.
Hoffer @ Jan 28th 2009 8:31PM
If the achievements are going to be impossible, I'll probably just skip it. I'm not a big fan of the time trial stuff. If the achievements would be somewhat achievable, I might have checked it out.
Aero @ Jan 28th 2009 8:31PM
I was looking forward to some more Mirror's Edge tomorrow as well :(
Are there going to be new achievements for the 360?
Andrew Yoon @ Jan 28th 2009 10:47PM
We're not sure if the 360 version will get new achievements yet. We didn't see a new achievement list uploaded for the game yet. Hopefully!
CouchPotato99 @ Jan 28th 2009 8:39PM
"the DLC adds new Trophies"
This is why I miss X3F... :(
CouchPotato99 @ Jan 28th 2009 11:11PM
Yikes, was it something I said?
I'm just not used to my Xbox 360 news feed talking about "trophies"...
Byron517 @ Jan 28th 2009 8:41PM
Wow that looks pretty sick!! I'll have to pick this up soon!
bknight @ Jan 28th 2009 8:44PM
It good to see PS3 getting some DLC but why is in the Xbox section.
linebeginstoblur @ Jan 28th 2009 8:51PM
Probably because the delay was important to both consoles, and it was easier to tag it with both consoles than write a whole entire new article.
lee @ Jan 28th 2009 8:59PM
man this new joysiq is confusing
anyways, does the free exclusive dlc add new trophies or is it the payed content? btw it looks really fun :P
lee @ Jan 28th 2009 9:00PM
replying here just so it saves my password ;)
Andrew Ryan @ Jan 28th 2009 9:05PM
I can't believe I got it on 360. :(
RasenganFury @ Jan 28th 2009 9:05PM
This new site is really confusing >.< I really like the ps3/psp tags though. They make getting the news easier. However this article doesn't even show up in the ps3 section.
Eric B @ Jan 28th 2009 9:06PM
Good news about the PS3 maps...
I've got a question, with this whole amalgamated site they've got (PS Joystiq, Xbox Joystiq) does that mean all stories that show up on PS Joystiq will also show up on plain Joystiq? Cause if that's the case, I'll just unsubscribe to the plain one, all I care about are PS3 and 360 news...
Xta Large (Formerly Fatass) @ Jan 28th 2009 9:11PM
Certain PS/Xbox/Nintendo articles, you know, the big news, will show up on the main site. Each individual segment of the site still have their own articles.
juanotejano @ Jan 28th 2009 9:48PM
What is the main joystiq reporting on if not nintendo xbox 360 and PS3 news? I suppose they have the occasional PC story in there, but they have all looked like the same stuff to me.
I don't like this new "Ultrastiq" because I just seem to find myself caring less and less about the stories and comments in the Xbox joystiq because it's lost all of it's Xboxy flavor. It feels less like the X3F I liked and more like the old joystiq that has been off my bookmarks for months.
I think this format can be saved with time as you hopefully become more distinct in each section rather than just posting the same article in every section and making us guess at what the hell the current Trophy to Achievement exchange rate just to read the news. I personally would like to see each of the sections comments kept to their own section because I am more interested in what Xbox 360 owners and fanboys think about the story than non Xbox people. I could probably adjust to the comments staying how they are now, but the lack of distinct xbox flavor is kind of a deal breaker for me.
OrionnoirO @ Jan 28th 2009 10:09PM
Yep... I have followed X3F for a long time now, but this is not making me a happy camper... Seems about time I guess I will be finding a new place to call my home for 360 news.
Premature ejaculation man @ Jan 28th 2009 10:20PM
Yeah I think the main problem is that the comments are all kept together. So Xbox only people, Sony people and Wii people aren't able to have their own discussions. You even notice that the person who says he misses X3F get downvoted above because it talks about trophies
Procris @ Jan 29th 2009 1:49PM
Agreed... I don't like this new format. I visit X3F for Xbox 360 related news and the X3F comments, not the whole of joystiq. Almost feels like the old X3F has been killed off with these changes, don't think i'll be commenting much now.
Anyhow good news for those who bought it on PS3, not so much for Xbox 360.
MBO @ Jan 28th 2009 9:37PM
this looks FUCKING cool
glad to see some love for the ps3 :)
alexander @ Jan 28th 2009 9:43PM
wow.. the Joystiq Xbox icon is even worse than the regular Joystiq icon...
please change even that white square was better.. :(
juanotejano @ Jan 28th 2009 10:11PM
LOL I just noticed that! It is pretty bad, but the best part is after they try a silhouette of a joystick against different color backgrounds they will have completely exhausted their current brand logo options because they apparently don't want to use the perfectly fine 360 logo that they used before.
PSN: Erdie @ Jan 28th 2009 9:59PM
Blah, more exclusive DLC. Naughty!
Deck @ Jan 28th 2009 10:02PM
These levels look interesting. I can't decide if I like them or not. They sound like they will be fun.. but I really like the city setting that Mirror's Edge is in. That's one of the big positives for me. Its just got such a great aesthetic.
Roto13 @ Jan 28th 2009 10:02PM
Bah, I was going to maybe buy this tomorrow if I liked the free map enough. Oh, well. At least I get to try the free one tomorrow.
OrionnoirO @ Jan 28th 2009 10:07PM
Hmm... I assume that means the 360 will get new achievements too, but I don't care for how they are now seeming to list it as "Trophies". Either say both or neither... I miss X3F.
linebeginstoblur @ Jan 29th 2009 12:18AM
There's nothing wrong with just saying Trophies. You know why? Because Trophies for the PS3 are all that's been confirmed as of yet. If there was an announcement of Achievements for the Xbox 360 as well, it would have said "Trophies and Achievements." It doesn't mean that this site is leaning toward Sony terminology, it just means that some things aren't supported across the board.
Van Faulk @ Jan 28th 2009 10:10PM
This is why the new joystiq model doesn't work. This article has NOTHING to do with the 360....yet i found it on xbox.joystiq.
I go there so I DON't have to wade through articles that don't pertain to what I'm looking for. Now I have to do so more than ever. Congratz, joystiq, you managed to take a system that worked fine, and make it more convoluted. Brilliant job.
Xta Large (Formerly Fatass) @ Jan 28th 2009 10:32PM
You're right. This DLC wasn't coming to the 360 at all
oh wait
Procris @ Jan 29th 2009 1:55PM
@ Xta Large (Formerly Fatass)
Yes, the minor part of this news post is about the delay of DLC that concerns both platforms. The much larger segment is for PS3 exclusive DLC, which people visiting X3F shouldn't have to be subjected too.
lee @ Jan 28th 2009 10:33PM
the article is on the xbox section as the delay effects both 360 and ps3, it saves having to write more than one article
Perry Loh @ Jan 29th 2009 7:42AM
Now that looks like sum' trippy shite!
Levi @ Jan 29th 2009 12:00AM
You'd end up seeing pretty much the same article on each site anyway, what's the big deal...
Anyway, the DLC looks awesome to me though. It reminds me of Xen from H-L, or crazy user made online maps, only I'm sure these were probably planned out much more carefully than your average user made dribble.
