I was not planning on buying the PC version. I bought the 360 version. All the DRM hassles has made me buy console games instead and now I buy a majority of my games for the consoles instead and my high end gaming PC is gathering dust.

That really bummed me out too, cause after playing and beating the punishing but fun mirror’s edge, i was so looking forward to a nice easy platforming experience I could absorb and enjoy rather than have to actually actively beat. Not being able to get the DLC means I am going to have to wait for when i get a next gen console. I am curious how it sold on Steam and why Ubisoft did not want to put it up there. Perhaps the Piracy rate was WAY higher than expectations. The console only content is so odd cause usually the consoles fight over who gets the content.

I picked up the 360 version a while back and enjoyed it (though I got rid of it for the same price I paid since I know it will be $20 in about 3-4 months). I feel a game like Prince of Persia is more appealing to the console crowd and really publishing it on PC is only like baiting some gamers to knowing there’s an easily piratable version. Sometimes it troubles me that the majority of PC gamers either stick with PC for (1) FPS games, (2) RTS games, or (3) the fact that it’s the easiest to pirate on.
