Mirror’s Edge 50% off ($9.99) at Amazon Game Downloads
Mirror’s Edge is available at the EA store (America) for the same price so this might not be an exclusive deal. But it’s a great game and many stores still have it up for sale at $9.99 so you might want to try it out, specially if you trust the amazon downloader and key management system rather than EA’s (which is true in my case)

Amazon stepping it up a notch in Digital Game Downloads
Amazon entered the digital game distribution market with an extensive list of casual titles in the bag. It has recently introduced more than 500 core titles including most of the AAA one’s you’re ever going to need. Another trend that has emerged are huge discounts on great titles, the likes of which Steam is famous for. With these improvements, amazon is slowly starting to nudge it’s way in to the digital game download market dominated by Steam, D2D and GamersGate.
Michael Anderson has written a post titled “Amazon TOTALLY Gets This ‘Digital Game Sale’ Thing … MacGameStore, Not So Much!” regarding this phenomenon which is quite interesting. Here’s an excerpt:
Posted on 12 January 2011 by Michael Anderson
I have largely ignored Amazon’s digital download shop in my weekly round-ups, and with good reasons: they have offered marginal deals on marginal games and really weren’t bringing anything new to the game … until recently. This fall Amazon started stepping things up, and now for the new year they are standing toe-to-toe with Steam and Direct2Drive and GamersGate … at least in terms of hosting huge sales. There are a number of games I plan to buy from them this week, which will be the first non-casual stuff I’ve gotten from Amazon. Fortunately, it IS Amazon, so I have no reservations about buying from them!
